Develop A Social Bond To Wow Your Customers – Some Guidelines To Execution

By

Organizations are living entities and they must form bonds with the other entities, customers, that keep them alive. Without that connection, no business can survive. Some worship Apple today because of the kind of bonds it has formed with its customers. It has asocial bond and that continues to be nurtured. Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO, takes Apple customer experience very seriously.

 

Brand loyalty does not come from one side. You build it and you work hard to sustain it. That means the company must also communicate with the customers. You have to find an opportunity to respond to what the customers want and meet those needs. If you ignore them, you have failed in managing your brand.

 

The following are some ways you can deploy to develop a viable and sustainable social innovation strategy that will grow and nurture your brand.

 

  • Get the right product. No matter how hard you try, if you do not have the right products, the customers will not stay

 

  • Engage your customers through news, forums, blogs and more. Recently companies like Businessday have SMS through which they can communicate with their customers. You need that interaction space to keep the relationship healthy.

 

  • Be honest about your business, products and services. Nothing hurt customers than deception. You need to be plain and simply simple when you market them. You cannot lose your trust bank.

 

  • Feed the buzz – understand what they are saying and follow up where necessary. If they email, respond and try to keep them engaged

 

  • Use social media to engage them and if possible create groups on Facebooks and nurture that group relationship

 

  • Have a plan and exactly how to engage your customers. If you have staff, have a policy on what has to happen and what each must do at any point in time. You may have to hire someone if the firm is big and needs a lot of attention on the image.

 

  • Find some budgets to advertise your brand. People need to know about it.

 

Brand management is such a huge part of business management especially when considering what is happening in the social media network. If you ignore your brand, it can die before you know it. Information flows fast and it is imperative that you respond quick and aggressive when you need to. It a contact sports – in this age, it is a 24/7 social bond that will keep you ‘liked’ by your customers.

Before You Make That Website – Guidelines From Our Webmaster

We have received many commendations on the simplicity of our site. We just took away the noise in website design and put only the things we NEED. No fancy, just what is needed. Now, the team that built tekedia has some lessons to pass across. These are some guidelines for making your site.

  • Plan what your contents will be. The nature of the content will affect the design and structure of the site. A business site should be conservative while an entertainment site should be sociable. You must not make a law firm site to look like a college party site. The content defines the strategy
  • Think about the audience. Who will visit the site. If you are an investment bank, it is possible that only the high network with visit. The poor guys are not around. What do you have to do to save these guys time? You make things very simple and direct.
  • Simplify any design phase. Your menus and categories must be needed and cannot be done in a hurry.
  • Logos matter, don’t cheap out. You don’t have to spend 1000s on a clever logo, but it should be clean, simple and memorable. A Perth logos company friend showed me a few dozen logos and I instantly recognized the popular ones, at which point he showed me they all have the same clean/simple designs.
  • If a blog, plan your content and if you cannot get content, ask yourself if it is worths the time and investment to make a site. You need consistent sources of content.
  • If your site is heavy in traffic , you may need a webmaster. That can be outsourced to an external company to do for you, though.
  • Think through your search engine optimization (SEO). Is your site SOE search engine friendly?
  • Do not forget the contacts and visitor forms. For most customers having that form makes things very easy and fast to communicate.
  • Get Facebook and Twitter, at least, integrations to your site. Where appropriate, include YouTube
  • You may need to have any analytics on your site to track traffic. This could be from Google or Bing,

2011 PC Market Growth Slashed From 7.1% To 4.2% by IDC

International Data Corp (IDC) , a Market research firm  has slashed its forecast for 2011 PC shipment growth to 4.2% from 7.2% owing to multiple of factors. They include declining Q1 2011 shipments, challenging economic outlook and maturity of the PC market in the developed region. The developing world will provide most of the growth. Also, there is a concern that the tablet is displacing PC.

 

Consumers are recognizing the value of owning and using multiple intelligent devices and because they already own PCs, they’re now adding smartphones, media tablets, and eReaders to their device collections,” said Bob O’Donnell, IDC’s vice president of clients and displays.

 

Many analysts have been reducing their 2011 forecasts for PC.   GarTner has since reduced its estimate to 10.5%. Yet, Intel remains optimistic about the PC growth, but is realistic that the growth will not be high as it used to be.

 

High unemployment  remains a key factor that is affecting how consumers spend. With the job market static, spending is watched very well by consumers. Unless the economy improves, most consumers will not like to spend and invest in PC.

 

The events in Japan can actually spark PC market depending on how many will be replaced after the crises. Q1 2011 PC shipments were down 1.1% from 2010, with a decline of 4.4% in consumer shipments that was only partially offset by 3% growth in commercial segments, according to IDC. The decline in consumer shipments was particularly acute in mature regions, with double-digit declines in Western Europe, the U.S. and Canada, according to IDC. Asia, Latin America and Africa will lead the growth as most people are still buying their first PCs as their economic outlooks improve.

Sturvs is a web 2.0 social aggregator with updates from all the major sources of information on the Nigerian web. An aggregator is a computer software or website that aggregates news from other news sources.

 

We spent time on the site and it really looked very nice. Tekedia is fascinated over the Sturvs Engine.

 

We have submitted tekedia to this site and will be expecting that it gets accepted.We really like Sturvs and the social network integration is cool. If they can reduce the density of their graphics the site will be better. We just think that the usability is affected by the too much graphics.

Xilinx Demos Optical Transport Network (OTN) – Virtex-6 HXT Is the the industry’s Highest Serial BW FPGA

Xilinx successfully  showcased its optical transport network (OTN) portfolio  and explained how the technology could help customers overcome high bandwidth optical transport network (OTN) challenges at the Linley Tech Carrier Conference last week. The demo covered  quality of service (QoS) and traffic management requirements for high bandwidth networks.

 

Xilinx demonstrated its Virtex-6 HXT FPGA Optical Transport Network (OTN) Targeted Design Platform for supporting faster market implementation of 100G line cards and demonstrating the key technologies enabling high bandwidth applications.

 

Xlinix announced its Flexible Platform for 100G Optical Transport Network Solutions Development and Smooth Transition to 400G  in March this year.  System architects can use the OTN platform to quickly demonstrate and evaluate the flexibility, high-end performance and integration capabilities of Xilinx(R) FPGAs for 100G OTN applications. They can later smoothly migrate their designs to the Virtex-7 HT FPGA family to evolve to 400G line card applications.

 

“In order for the communications industry to effectively answer the insatiable demand for bandwidth, optical communications equipment vendors must deliver more rapidly and more effectively the necessary levels of flexibility, integration and performance without raising power consumption or costs into their optical platforms,” said Krishna Rangasayee, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Xilinx’s Communications Business Unit. “As part of Xilinx’s recent acquisition of Omiino Ltd., we have created a new OTN Solution Delivery Center that will include all of Omiino’s deep OTN expertise plus their existing portfolio of OTN solutions and OTN development platforms to give our customers the most optimized and cost effective solution for their systems.”

 

 

Virtex-6 HXT and Virtex-7 HT Devices?

Virtex-6 HXT FPGAs  are the the industry’s highest serial bandwidth through a combination of 6.6 Gbps GTX transceivers and 11.18 Gbps GTH transceivers to enable next-generation packet and transport, switch fabric, video switching and imaging equipment. The devices are built on 40nm process using third-generation Xilinx ASMBL(TM) architecture and offer 15 percent higher performance and 50 percent lower power consumption as compared with competitive 40nm FPGA offerings. The devices operate on a 1.0v core voltage with an available 0.9v low-power option.
