Some people believe that playing online mobile games is just a waste of time, while others enjoy the experience. No one can deny that a lot of fun can be had by playing these games for a few hours each day.

So, what is it about these games that make them so attractive?

For some reason, people are too scared to protect their details while online mobile gaming, but for all I know, they do not even think twice before entering the same email address that they usually use for all of their bank details!

These machines have all sorts of security measures in the background. The top casino sites for mobiles even offer extra protection, such as secure online gaming transactions and instant game transfers.

Moreover, most of these games come with good quality graphics and sound and are designed with a high degree of professionalism.

Online gaming is becoming more popular for the simple reason that it is a lot of fun! However, there are certain things you should keep in mind when you are playing these games, particularly if you want to win some money.

Here are some things that you should consider before you start playing.

You’ll need to make sure of whether the game that you are playing is a multiplayer game or a single-player game.

If it is a multiplayer game, your chances of winning will increase exponentially, which will help you win money more often.

However, if you play a single-player game such as slots, then the amount of cash that you get per hour will be less than what you would win if you were playing it with a multiplayer game.

This is why multiplayer games are more popular with people who love to gamble and consistently play the game.

Most of the online casino games are free of cost, which means that you do not have to spend a cent to play these games.

If you want to make sure that you play these games only in a safe environment, then you can opt for the ones that offer an online casino bonus and cashback.

It is important to remember that not every game that you play on the internet has the capability of allowing you to try it for free.

If you choose to play games that do not, you could miss out on earning some good money because you will have to pay to download these games and play them.

The best online mobile games are not too complex to understand, and they are simple enough for anyone to learn and master. The more straightforward and easy they are to understand, the better chances you have of winning some good money without spending a dime.

If you are interested in some games that allow you to play them without investing a dime, then you should check out the popular casino games such as slots, blackjack, roulette, and poker.

Many of the best online casino apps will allow you to play for free in a practice mode before you are comfortable to deposit actual money.

Consider reputation

While selecting the best online mobile games, you should consider the reputation of the site you are using. You can easily find this by checking the review pages of the site.

If the site has a good reputation and many positive reviews, then it is probably a good sign that you can expect that the games you will play there are also acceptable.

After identifying the sites offering good deals, you need to decide what kind of games you want to play.

For example, there are various sports and gambling games that you can choose from while playing on the internet. You should also consider the age group and the children who will be playing on these sites.

Once you have decided which games you want to play, you should carefully check out the site’s interest in keeping its users well-informed. This way, you will be able to make sure that you will have a great experience playing on their sites.

Mobile gaming sites offer some of the best deals that you can get, and you can expect to be enjoying these games without spending any money on their services.

By following the websites’ instructions, you can expect to be enjoying some of the most popular online gaming experiences in the comfort of your homes.

Choosing an app

If you want to experience the top mobile casino games in the market, you need to look for the best games available. With the variety of options available today, you have a significant number of choices.

However, choosing the right games from among them can be a bit challenging.

Before choosing the right games to play on your smartphone, it is essential that you first find out what kind of games you are interested in.

There are different types of games that people choose to play. Therefore, you need to consider how often you will be playing the games before you go ahead with it.

Once you have chosen the type of games you want to play, it is now time to figure out the right games to download and play.

Some games may give you more features than others, so you need to consider which games you will play carefully. The number of players will also help you decide which games to choose from.

When you have decided which games you want to play, you need to find the top mobile casino apps available today. You may not be able to visit every casino in the world to play games, but many websites offer these games to users all over the world.

Since there are so many websites that offer these games, you should know which games are being offered on which site to play those games easily.

One of the things that you need to keep in mind when choosing the games to play is the amount of money you would be spending each time you play the games.

Some games may require you to spend a certain amount of money every time you play them. For instance, some games ask you to purchase tokens before you can play them.

Once you have selected the games you want to play and decided how much money you are willing to pay each time, you may now proceed to the actual downloading process.

Ensure you use a safe and secure connection to the website to avoid having your computer or mobile device hacked or stolen. Also, do not sign in using your social security information or credit card information to prevent potential security risks.

Nigerian Publishes Framework for Implementation of N75 Billion Youth Investment Fund

The Nigeria government has released the framework for the implementation of the N75 billion Youth Investment Fund. This was disclosed in a publication titled “Framework for the Operation of the NIRSAL Microfinance Bank Window of the Nigeria Youth Investment Fund” from the Central Bank of Nigeria. NIRSAL, a risk agency within CBN, will do the implementation.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has released instructions on how to access the N75 billion Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Survival Fund. The program took effect from September 21, 2020. This fund is part of the N2.3 trillion stimulus package of the Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan.

Here is the link; please apply. It is your money and do not wait. Part of this is structured as a grant which means you may not have to pay for it (that can change though).  Also check this link.

Good luck. If you are attending Tekedia Mini-MBA, we will get an expert to provide guidance on this next week.

Meanwhile, the government has started the disbursement of N30,000 one-time grant to 330,000 artisans across the country.

The government has moved really fast on the Survival Fund implementation since the site went up a few days ago. Also, this week, the news is that the President has approved the free business registrations for small businesses. While I do not support these typically wasteful initiatives, I commend the government on doing anything it could do to bring short-term peace. My proposal has been consistent: find an anchor city in each region, and use the money to provide 24/7 electricity for the artisans. If you do that, they would create jobs, help themselves and others. That is a more sustainable roadmap than giving N30k (about $80) to men and women.

Meanwhile, please apply if you can.

Shopify Partners TikTok As It Looks for Demand

Shopify, a Canadian  e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems, wants to grow faster. It has already partnered with Facebook to launch a Facebook shopping feature even as Facebook continues to expand its tentacle. This partnership will give Shopify demand which it does not have at scale.

It is what it is: if you have demand, you can venture into anything online. The latest news is that Facebook has gone into gaming. Why not? When you have demand, everything else becomes marginal. Yes, once the foundational fixed cost has been taken care off, building new application layers becomes easy. That is why we have Facebook Shopping, Facebook Local, Facebook Neighborhood….and now Facebook Games. It is building leverageable assets in technology.

Shopify needs demand, and would be further partnering  with TikTok since growing demand does not happen overnight. With this partnership, the ecommerce platform can grow faster: “The partnership will enable Shopify to reach a wider audience of younger people as it pushes for more sales”. Call this infusion: the one million Shopify members will have access to hundreds of millions of TikTok users.

“Today, we’re announcing a first-of-its-kind commerce partnership with TikTok that brings the world’s leading destination for short form video to Shopify’s more than one million merchants. With the TikTok channel for Shopify, merchants can take advantage of TikTok’s global scale to reach new and engaged audiences,” Shopify said in a statement announcing the partnership.

The partnership will enable Shopify to reach a wider audience of younger people as it pushes for more sales. The e-commerce company has over 1 million merchants looking for customers and TikTok has the audience that fits in. The companies said the partnership will eventually expand to include other in-app shopping features.

Under the deal, Shopify merchants are allowed to create, run and optimize their TikTok marketing campaigns directly from the Shopify dashboard by installing the new TikTok channel app from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, merchants will have access to the key functions from TikTok For Business Ads Manager at their disposal.

What is happening here is fundamental: modern digital empires control demand, not necessarily supply. Shopify needs access to demand to thrive. TikTok has demand, and that is why this partnership looks great. I expect Shopify to pay TikTok for this just as Google pays Apple to have its search as default on the Safari browser.

Shopify Partners with TikTok to Entice Younger Generation Merchants

TikTok announced Tuesday it is investing in social commerce through a partnership with Canadian e-commerce platform, Shopify.

“Today, we’re announcing a first-of-its-kind commerce partnership with TikTok that brings the world’s leading destination for short form video to Shopify’s more than one million merchants. With the TikTok channel for Shopify, merchants can take advantage of TikTok’s global scale to reach new and engaged audiences,” Shopify said in a statement announcing the partnership.

The partnership will enable Shopify to reach a wider audience of younger people as it pushes for more sales. The e-commerce company has over 1 million merchants looking for customers and TikTok has the audience that fits in. The companies said the partnership will eventually expand to include other in-app shopping features.

Under the deal, Shopify merchants are allowed to create, run and optimize their TikTok marketing campaigns directly from the Shopify dashboard by installing the new TikTok channel app from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, merchants will have access to the key functions from TikTok For Business Ads Manager at their disposal.

The brand is growing

These ad tools allow merchants to create native, shareable content that turns their products into In-Feed video ads that will resonate with the TikTok community.

Merchants will be able to target their audiences across gender, age, user behavior, and video category, and then track the campaign’s performance over time. They select which product they would like to feature, and video ads are automatically generated that drive to their Shopify stores for checkout.

The campaigns’ costs will vary, based on the merchants own business objectives and how much they want to spend.

Shopify merchants are enabled to install or connect their TikTok pixel – a tool that helps them to easily track conversions driven by their TikTok ad campaigns.

Shopify’s Vice President of product, Satish Kanwar said that the new feature was previously made available to a select number of merchants as part of beta test. But as of Tuesday, Oct. 27, the product is being made available to all merchants across the U.S., and will be made available in other select markets throughout North America, Europe and Southeast Asia in early 2021.

Shopify and TikTok will also collaborate to test new commerce features over the coming months that will further empower merchants to expand their paid and organic reach in video and on profiles, according to the partnership statement.

“TikTok is one of the world’s fastest growing entertainment platforms with over 100 million highly engaged users in the U.S. alone. TikTok channel means Shopify merchants- even those without a strong TikTok following of their own yet – can connect with these new audiences using content that feels authentic and genuine to the TikTok experience,” Kanwar said in a statement about the new partnership.

In addition to launching the new TikTok channel, Shopify and TikTok have also partnered to showcase Black-owned businesses with the launch of TikTok’s first co-branded Hashtag Challenge plus – #ShopBlack.

The two partners did not provide the financial details of the deal.

The partnership came while Walmart is contemplating a move to TikTok’s platform to boost its advertising strategy. The retailer was looking at a deal that will draw it close to the short-video app’s young audience, but the political tension between China and the U.S. that TikTok got caught in, restrained Walmart.

Other potential partners are waiting on the outcome of the U.S. appeals court hearing billed for November 4. The hearing is to determine whether the U.S. government has the right to ban TikTok, a development TikTok said it would cripple its use in the United States.

Affectionate, Smart, Eloquent Retail Sales Associate Can Boost Customer Experiences in Retail Stores

Providing great customer experience is a key operational goal for retail chain outfits. Indeed, among many other factors, whether or not shoppers will enjoy visiting a store depends largely on the quality of ‘customer experience’ they get.

Also known as CX, customer experience is the sum-total of interactions that customers have with a business and their perception (positive or negative) about those interactions. In a typical retail store, asides the general store design, the ambience, ease of navigation in the store and the checkout process, at the centre of customer experience creation are the retail sales associates who interface or interact with shoppers right from their moment of entry into the store through shopping and then to eventual checkout from the store. Hence, the ‘quality’ of retail sales associates can have a significant impact on the level of customer experience that shoppers have when they visit a store.

Indeed, retail sales associates are the face of the store: they act as the store’s brand representatives. Shoppers spend more time with them than they do other staff in the store. Shoppers rely on them to navigate the store and to help them make informed product choices. Therefore, it will be a big turn off if such associates cannot warm themselves into the shoppers’ heart: which is by understanding their needs, giving them insights about products and recommending products that suitably fit their intended purpose or solve their existing challenges. In essence, the sales associates operate at the front-end of the retail store’s operation and how they deliver strongly affects the quality of the ‘customer experience’ that the store provides.

Surprisingly, however, as glaringly vital as the retail sales role is in the delivery of quality customer experience, it is what retail managers pay attention to the least in terms of the quality of whom should be appointed to handle it. Many retail/store/mall managers do not even know that sales associates are key to the creation of quality customer experience in the first place! Unlike other units of the store operation (i.e. warehouse, inventory, finance, IT, etc.,) where education, skills and competence are considered to appoint talents to fill, in-store sales positions are often filled with the least of the store’s talent. Yet, this is a unit that can significantly increase the store’s customer experience if the right people with the right qualities are engaged.

Having affectionate, smart, eloquent sales associates at the storefront is particularly important if the store operates in an environment filled with people of high socioeconomic and educational status.

Moving forward, let’s x-ray the effects of these three qualities and how they affect the ability of retail sales associates to deliver excellent customer experience at the storefront. 

Retail Sales Associates’ Affection

As a business to consumers (B2C) industry tending to customers in their hundreds, thousands and millions on a daily basis, affectionate sales associates can make a big difference on the quality of experience that shoppers have in the store. An affectionate sales associate has the ability to warmly receive, tend to and care for shoppers, thereby building attraction and evoking shoppers’ interest in the ongoing shopping. The affectionate, warm sales associate is upbeat, spirited and receptive, so this helps him/her to create an atmosphere of friendship and cordiality on the shop-floor.

Affectionate associates are naturally ready and willing to listen to customers’ needs and help in whatever required way. The atmosphere so created by the associates’ warmness and affections helps shoppers feel relaxed and motivated to explore the store the more, knowing full well that care and assistance are just a call away!

Naturally, everyone (yes, all of us) gravitates towards what and who cares for them. The same is true in retail! If the sales associates show genuine attention and care, shoppers will always gravitate towards them and the store. 

Retail Sales Associates’ Smartness

This is the ability of the retail sales associate to, on one hand, thoroughly understand all his/her merchandise: their features, functions, application, limitations, assemblage, and installation as the case may be. On the other hand, it is the ability to study and perfectly understand shoppers needs, challenges, including their taste, class and preferences and then offering or recommending suitably-fit products.

A smart retail sales associate will not leave shoppers to wander in the store without solutions to the challenges that brought them. He/she has the ability to understand the needs of shoppers and help in every step. Smart sales associates demonstrate sound product knowledge and provide adequate products information to shoppers. This consequently boosts the assurance of shoppers and makes them trust whatever judgements or recommendations the associate makes.

Consequently, when next shoppers have needs to fill or challenges to solve, the store will be their first port of call because they know there are smart, capable sales associates to help them make better and informed decisions on how to fill the needs. 

Retail Sales Associates’ Eloquence

Retail sales associates operate at the front-end of the store operation and communication constitutes the majority of their daily activities. They primarily have to engage customers: seeking to know their challenges, needs, and pitching the right products to them. Indeed, retail sales associates’ ‘affections’ and ‘smartness’ remain obscured until they can be exhibited through clear and effective communication.

Eloquence is the ability of the retail sales associate to engage the shoppers and smoothly communicate with them in the language or manner that they understand and enjoy. In other words, it is the ability to lace soft skills and mental competence in a clear language and tone that customers comprehend and appreciate. Literally, shoppers are desirous of associates whom they don’t have to struggle to make themselves clear to. Having eloquent sales associates at the storefront, therefore, helps to increase the status of the store and also the level of respect and reverence that shoppers accord its brand.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making effort to fix affectionate, smart, eloquent talents at the storefront can go a long way in increasing the quality of experience that a retail store offers its customers and, in turn, high purchase and return patronage from shoppers. It will also increase the store’s goodwill and the reverence it gets from shoppers.
