Benefits of Online Marketing for all Businesses

           it really wasn’t all that long ago when only top-rated corporations and Fortune 500 companies had the resources to take on Internet marketing. Not only was the endeavor too expensive for smaller business owners, but also the technical expertise associated with building an online market was too high. It usually required the assistance of a professional, which was another additional cost. However, those days are long gone, like social media, and the technical knowledge of the average person has significantly increased.

How eCommerce brand are driving traffic to Amazon

How eCommerce brands are driving traffic to Amazon    

Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past ten years or so, you’re well aware of Amazon’s dominance in the e-commerce field. More brands are starting to adopt an “if you can’t beat them, join them” policy with regards to their e-commerce operations. So, instead of designing their content marketing efforts to add value to the products on their webstore, they’re designing their content marketing efforts to drive traffic to Amazon. Why Amazon? On the surface, it may sound strange. Why would a successful business with engaging content design it in such a way that it pushes the consumer away from their e-commerce operations instead of towards them?  It’s a numbers game, and you can’t deny the numbers that Amazon puts up. In 2016, Amazon generated 82.8 billion dollars in sales, which is more than their closest ten competitors combined. No site converts better or knows the ins and outs of e-commerce better than the folks at Amazon. Let’s look at a couple of businesses who are leading the pack when it comes to focusing their content marketing strategies on driving traffic to Amazon. Amoretti Amoretti makes delicious food and beverage flavorings. No doubt you’ve tasted their products in some of your favorite foods, desserts or beverages. In 2011, the company opened its operation to retail customers as well. Since Amoretti’s products are used in such a broad range of foods and beverages, there was plenty of room to create a beautiful blog showcasing recipes, tips and other helpful information about Amoretti products. Throughout their blog, you’ll notice various calls to action to purchase their products directly on Amazon. Teacher Peach Teacher Peach is a brand specializing in fun and educational products for teachers to use in their classrooms, as well as thoughtful gifts for the teacher in your life. Teacher Peach began by selling their products on Amazon, and shortly after created an e-commerce site as well. What they learned is that Amazon is a much more powerful tool at driving sales than their own website. Instead of trying to fight the power of Amazon, they embraced it. So, they made some massive alterations to their website and removed its e-commerce functionality. Now, they leave the challenges of e-commerce to Amazon while using their website as a space to create content, promote their products and educate consumers on how to use them. The results? Teacher Peach enjoyed over 170% growth in sales in 2016 as compared to the previous year. What’s Right for You? This practice isn’t going to be for everybody. For some businesses, especially businesses with lower margins, it’s not going to make sense financially to steer your business straight to Amazon. But, if you find that the numbers work for you after doing some research, harnessing the power of Amazon as a sales channel could be a great way to take your business to the next level

6 Places To Buy Domain Names

If you’re new to blogging and just considering choosing your domain name, you might feel like all domain registrars are the same. However, there are a lot of factors that you need to consider first. A lot of pitfalls to avoid and other factors that make some registrars better than others.

 Domain Names

For instance, consider GoDaddy. Now, GoDaddy is a great registrar – “the daddy of all domain registrars”. However, on the surface it might seem like you’ll only pay $1.99 for a .com domain per year. In real sense, using the service will cost you $10 on the first year and up to $15 for each of the following years. That sounds like upwards of 1000% in hidden costs. But if you consider what else comes with GoDaddy, you might see that it’s actually worth it.

Olympic Medals for Tokyo Games Will Be Made from Recycled Electronics

Recycled electronics will go for the gold, as organizers of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics have announced their plan to source the gold, silver and bronze needed for the games' medals from discarded smartphones.

Tokyo 2020 organizers announced this month that all of the Olympic medals will be made from recycled materials. The agenda for Tokyo 2020, which is described as a "strategic roadmap" for the event, specifically calls for the inclusion of sustainability in every aspect of the games. Organizers said they are also working to engage the Japanese population in the event. As such, the committee has invited the public to participate, asking citizens to donate their discarded or obsolete electronic devices.

The project's goal is to collect about 8 tons [7.25 metric tons] of metal, which will be recycled down to about 2 tons [1.8 metric tons] — enough to produce 5,000 medals for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, according to the committee.

7 Technology Trends That Will Dominate 2017

  Personally, I’m amazed at the technology we have available to us. It’s astounding to have the power to retrieve almost any information and communicate in a thousand different ways using a device that fits in your pocket.

There’s always something new on the horizon, and we can’t help but wait and wonder what technological marvels are coming next.

The way I see it, there are seven major tech trends we’re in store for in 2017. If you’re eyeing a sector in which to start a business, any of these is a pretty good bet. If you're already an entrepreneur, think about how you can leverage these technologies to reach your target audience in new ways.

1. Machine Learning.

Machine learning has taken some massive strides forward in the past few years, even emerging to assist and enhance Google’s core search engine algorithm. But again, we’ve only seen it in a limited range of applications. Throughout 2017, I expect to see machine learning updates emerge across the board, entering almost any type of consumer application you can think of, from offering better recommended products based on prior purchase history to gradually improving the user experience of an analytics app. It won’t be long before machine learning becomes a kind of “new normal,” with people expecting this type of artificial intelligence as a component of every form of technology.

2. Automation.

Marketers will be (mostly) pleased to learn that automation will become a bigger mainstay in and throughout 2017, with advanced technology enabling the automation of previously human-exclusive tasks. We’ve had robotic journalists in circulation for a couple of years now, and I expect it won’t be long before they make another leap into more practical types of articles. It’s likely that we’ll start seeing productivity skyrocket in a number of white-collar type jobs—and we’llstart seeing some jobs disappear altogether. When automation is combined with machine learning, everything can improve even faster, so 2017 has the potential to be a truly landmark year.

5. Humanized Big Data. (visual, empathetic, qualitative)

3ig data has been a big topic for the past five years or so, when it started making headlines as a buzzword. The idea is that mass quantities of gathered data—which we now have access to—can help us in everything from planning better medical treatments to executing better marketing campaigns. But big data’s greatest strength—its quantitative, numerical foundation—is also a weakness. In 2017, I expect we’ll see advancements to humanize big data, seeking more empathetic and qualitative bits of data and projecting it in a more visualized, accessible way.

4. Physical-Digital Integrations.

Mobile devices have been slowly adding technology into our daily lives. It’s rare to see anyone without a smartphone at any given time, giving us access to practically infinite information in the real-world. We already have things like site-to-store purchasing, enabling online customers to buy and pick up products in a physical retail location, but the next level will be even further integrations between physical and digital realities. Online brands like Amazon will start having more physical products, like Dash Buttons, and physical brands like Walmart will start having more digital features, like store maps and product trials.

5. Everything On-Demand.

Thanks to brands like Uber (and the resulting madness of startups built on the premise of being the “Uber of ____”), people are getting used to having everything on demand via phone apps. In 2017, I expect this to see this develop even further. We have thousands of apps available to us to get rides, food deliveries, and even a place to stay for the night, but soon we’ll see this evolve into even stranger territory.

Anyone in the tech industry knows that making predictions about the course of technology’s future, even a year out, is an exercise in futility. Surprises can come from a number of different directions, and announced developments rarely release as they’re intended.

Still, it pays to forecast what’s coming next so you can prepare your marketing strategies (or your budget) accordingly. Whatever the case may be, it’s still fun to think about everything that’s coming next.

The cooking, washing, cleaning as as shopping has to be done at thrice the speed, because the cuddly little devil demands more than half of your time now. While you can hire a help for the other chores, shopping is something most of us prefer doing ourselves.

7 Benefits Of Online Shopping For A Newborn Mom

1. Online shopping does not tire you further

Running to different parts of the town for groceries, medicines, baby food, diapers, clothes and 100 other things is definitely uninviting when you are already dead on your feet because of the baby. However, online, you will find everything you need for yourself, the baby and the house on one single screen. Just go click, click, click and you will be done with an entire month’s shopping within the hour. You can find many online stores like Firstcry. You can get good deals via DesiDime, plus additional cashbacks as well.

Whenever you find yourself free and awake, early morning or middle of the night, you can get the shopping done online. Also, since there is no hurry to be back home, you can take your own sweet time.

3. You can window shop all you want

No one understands post-partum depression as a new mom does. In fact, a lot of people simply deny the existence of any such thing. But well, those people didn’t go through nine months of bloating and drastic hormonal change in a matter of hours after delivery. You did. And if you think window-shopping is the way to fight this depression, then nothing, not even your little mite can stop you from doing it. So, go online, and window shop all you want without a deadline to worry about or without getting tired.

4. You can do it on your phone, too

It does not get more convenient than this. You just need a phone, a good internet connection and a shopping app on your mobile phone. Then you can get all the shopping done while putting the baby to sleep, while feeding it or even while enjoying a cup of coffee.

5. You save a lot of money online

Online shopping not only saves your time and energy but also your money. Great discounts are omnipresent online, and sales are a monthly occurrence, here. So, you will save in hundreds every time you shop online.

You can find all the detailed information on products, store and brand reviews and expert shopping advice while shopping online with sites like DesiDime. DesiDime is an online shopping community where you can talk to fellow shoppers and also make friends with other moms while taking care of your home and child.

7. You can discover and buy unique stuff online

Kids’ stores are filled with fantastic, novel things like theme costumes, educational games etc. but you hardly discover half of it due to time constraints, while shopping in physical stores. However, online you can browse through thousands of products in minutes and buy some of the most extraordinary and exclusive things for your kid, at affordable prices.

In a nutshell, you are doing a 24×7 job without getting paid for it. So, you’ve earned a bit of rest, pampering and therapy for yourself. As, online shopping is a perfect package of all three, it’s time you embrace it like your own new-born.
