The Marketing Benefits of Personalized Video Production

— 1:07 pm

Creating effective marketing material is perhaps the most important aspect of building any advertising campaign, and video marketing is by far the most effective form of advertisement. By working with video production specialists like those at Vidify.co.uk you can begin promoting your products and services to a larger audience, with a specialized message that is more memorable than any other type of advert.  Unlike contextual advertisements, video productions give your prospective client base an interactive look at what your business has to offer, rather than just a written sales pitch.

When video production corporate goals can’t be met in-house, the need to contract the assistance of an experienced media creation firm becomes evident. It can take thousands of training hours, and/or days of searching to equip or find the right employee to help with your video advertisement requirements. After hiring the specialists at Vidify you can rest assured that your company aspirations and key marketing points are being conveyed to an extensive consumer audience, without any significant effort on your behalf.

Corporate digital video production is a complex art form when done properly, combining a powerful message with images that create lasting memories and plant a seed of interest in potential clients. Corporate analysts have long known that there are two main types of thinkers in this world – those that prefer to process information statistically, and those that like to process information visually.

Video advertisements market to both, because a variety of data delivery methods can be used, including on-screen text, soundtracks, spoken narrations, and of course animated display.  If you’ve tried conventional advertising methods like pay-per-click, or have tried producing your own video advertisements, with limited success, consider the benefits of working with a company that has a proven track record of enhancing their clients’ marketing efforts.

Wal-Mart Become Majority Share Holder in Chinese e-commerce Business

February 24, 2012 — 4:26 pm

U.S superstore titans, Wal-Mart are going to take a controlling share in Chinese e-commerce business Yihaodian.

It has come as the world’s largest retailer searches for different income solutions. This is in an attempt to fight increasing levels of competition in what is the world’s largest and quickest developing major economy. The move comes; not surprisingly two-weeks after Wal-Mart declared their new head of the company’s China operations.

This at last caps several different leadership changes at the company. They have recently been tainted by food scandals including a mislabelling of pork ‘issue’ in 2011 that led to a dozen of their China stores being temporarily shut down.

The newest purchase from Wal-Mart is going to take their share in the firm, subject to Government regulatory consent, to 51% and regardless of the lack of financial details produced by Wal-Mart it still isn’t very clear what Wal-Mart’s past share was and how much it has cost them.

With this you can expect there is going to be an increase in e-commerce from other global companies so as to boost their earnings. Very few companies have an e-commerce site and will most likely be missing out on a reasonably large number of sales and business.

If you’d like an e-commerce site then you should look at contacting an ecommerce web design agency who’ll be in a position to build something for you that you will without a doubt benefit from. If you’re located in the North West then you should get in touch with NuBlue.

NuBlue are based in Lancaster right by the M6 which means that they are perfectly placed for dealing with clients from across the country. Offering a variety of different services, from Drupal hosting to social media marketing they will fulfil all of your online and digital needs.

Online/offline with touch screen shopping

— 3:58 pm

To enhance the in-store shopping experience, where the majority of retail sales are still rung up, retailers are looking for ways to bring the convenience, selection and ability for product comparison of the online world into the offline world.

While online shopping accounts for less than currently 10% of retail sales, consumers continue to demonstrate their preference for browsing, researching, sharing and buying in a digital environment. According to USA today, in-store kiosks have been proven to increase the popularity of a product by 500% compared to a similar product not available from the interactive touch screen.

How Technology Can Prevent Crime

February 18, 2012 — 9:51 am

One of the top uses for modern technology is to make our homes and families safer than ever before. I finally realised when my home got broken into a couple of years back that I didn’t have any sort of protection at all on the property, I was on a cruise from Southampton when it happened.

The first step I took afterwards – after I had kicked the cat – was to start leaving the lights on, but obviously this little trick wasn’t going to fool all but the dimmest and least persistent thieves.  No, it was clearly time to get up to speed with the latest anti burglar technology at last.

CCTV Cameras

I had always been a little bit wary of professional CCTV systems to be honest. They always reminded me of harsh speeding fines and Big Brother style street surveillance. However, for protecting a home from the bad guys they are the bee’s knees alright. One sight of your camera looking down at them and most thieves will decide to look elsewhere. My DIY skills amount to being able to turn a screwdriver in the right direction and I was amazed to see that I was able to fit one of these systems all by myself.

Burglar Alarms

I was sitting at my desk in the office one day about 15 years ago when the alarm went off. Good lord, the clanging almost burst my ear drums. It turned out to be a false alarm as well, as a pigeon or some other undesirable creature had set it off. Anyway, I only mention this because I had assumed that modern burglar alarms were like the old ones only shinier. It turns out that they aren’t, and with a smart new wireless burglar alarm you can keep a home well protected without any hassle. As it is wireless it once again falls in my “can do” column and I got mine set up without any problems. There are now types of alarm for all types of home, and even if you live in a rambling mansion you can use the wireless aspect to cover all of your property very easily. As my mansion is pretty compact and semi detached-like I didn’t really have to spend too much time thinking about this aspect anyway.

Not Getting Paranoid

For me the really big benefit of using this crime prevention technology is that I haven’t turned into a nervous wreck or a curtain twitcher. My Mum’s home got broken into years ago and it took her ages to get over it. She used to phone me up at work when a strange car appeared in the street and I think she was even considering buying a ferocious dog at one point. Instead of living like this it is far better to simply protect yourself and breathe easily again. By making technology work for you burglars will be scared off and you can reclaim your property as a haven of peace and security again.

The hidden benefits of Cloud Computing

February 6, 2012 — 12:39 pm

As Cloud Computing is adopted by many more UK business in 2012 there will be a number of ‘spin off’ cost benefits.

Reduction of capital costs, real enablement of a mobile workforce and reducing the amount of IT administration are just some of the benefits of Cloud Computing being touted by the IT industry. There’s no doubt that this particular computing revolution is good for businesses bottom line. But there are other significant benefits that can be made when a company ‘goes cloud’. Benefits that are often overlooked include office space requirements and insurance.

By reducing the amount of expensive IT equipment kept onsite, business insurance premiums for many small and medium sized businesses could reduce. At a time when insurance premiums are rising across the board this would be a welcome reduction for many UK small and medium sized businesses. These are the companies who may have a number of servers currently being housed on their premises and for whom moving to the Cloud would free them of associated maintenance costs.

There will also be significant savings to be made on office space and energy used to maintain temperatures in specially designated server rooms. These are just some of the hidden benefits of Cloud Computing.
