How Snapchat Can Help Retailers Kill 'Showrooming'


Showrooming — a term known to every retailer as the death sentence to his or her business. A consumer walks into a store, falls in love with a product, whips out her phone, finds a lower price online, and leaves the store, interested but empty-handed.

Amazon and other apps have made showrooming substantially easier for the consumer, and with this comes an increasing number of businesses closing their stores for good, or forced to move online to compete with online-only stores.

How can a retailer that requires foot traffic and in-store browsing compete with its lower-priced online counterparts?

Carlsberg: The Carlsberg Drinking Equation

Did you know that road accidents in Israel are responsible for more deaths per year than any wars or terror attacks?

With the New Year parties in mind, we wanted to warn party goers. And remind them that if they are planning to drink, they should take the car out of the equation. Don’t drink and drive.

Trollagem brilhante: site permite enviar um pacote de glitter para quem você detesta

ship-your-enemies-glitter-capa

Ao invés de enviar maus sentimentos, ser rancoroso e ficar buscando intriguinhas, já pensou se você pudesse encher o dia da pessoa que você odeia com muito brilho?

Essa é a ideia do serviço “Ship Your Enemies Glitter”, que fez sucesso nas redes sociais nos últimos dias. Através do site, é possível enviar um envelope anônimo, contendo uma mensagem e um bocado de glitter.

Os responsáveis pelo site prometem que o glitter estará misturado em meio à mensagem, para garantir que o destinatário seja coberto de partículas brilhantes ao abrir o envelope.

ship-your-enemies-glitter-1

O custo do envio de cada mensagem é de 9.99 dólares australianos, o equivalente a cerca de 22 reais. Nada mau para fazer uma pegadinha até com um amigo, enchendo o dia dele de muito glitter e alegria (ou não).

Nova York a 2500 metros de altura

NY

Você já deve ter visto dezenas de imagens aéreas da cidade de Nova York, incluindo aquelas que se transformaram em quadros padronizados a venda em lojas de departamento. Nenhuma, porém, como essas registradas pelo fotógrafo Vincent Laforet.

Voando de helicóptero a quase 2500 metros de altura, Laforet capturou a cidade de forma impressionante, com ares de Gotham City. O fotógrafo utilizou cameras Canon 1DX e Mamiya Leaf Credo 50 MP, capazes de produzir imagens limpas em ISO’s altos, como 3200 e 6400, incluindo lentes de f2.8 a f1.2 e tilt-shift.

Confira mais fotos nesse post feito por Vincent, e abaixo um making of em vídeo:

state-of-marketing-salesforce-capa

Os departamentos de mídias sociais poderão receber uma verba extra neste ano.

sales-force-state-marketing

Dentre os 5 mil profissionais entrevistados,

66% afirmaram perceber as mídias sociais como essenciais para os seus negócios, e a mesma porcentagem já possui equipes dedicadas a cuidar de canais da marca em redes sociais.

Conteúdos orgânicos e patrocinados também estarão em alta neste ano – 70% dos entrevistados disseram ter intenções de investir mais nesse tipo de ação de marketing.

sales-force-state-marketing3

“Um dos receios que eu tinha era que com o crescimento da publicidade em mídias sociais, que as marcas não conseguissem entender que seria preciso também manter uma base de conteúdo orgânico, caso contrário, a publicidade pode ter uma baixa performance. Mas parece que as ações publicitárias serão complementadas por conteúdos orgânicos também”, explica Jeff Rohrs, VP de insights de marketing da Salesforce.

O relatório completo pode ser conferido no blog da Salesforce. Abaixo você confere um resumo das informações referentes ao Brasil (o relatório é global).

Göteborgs Auktionsverk: The Trojan Evaluation


Direct Marketing
Göteborgs Auktionsverk

To perform auctions you need items. So we turned to famous Swedish antiques expert Peder Lamm and let him scan the Internet for photos of houses for sale to see what the Swedes were hiding in their homes. When he found something he downloaded the image, circled the interesting item, put it on a postcard and sent it to the homeowners, asking if they wanted to sell more than their house.

Atualização do Google Translator inclui traduções de voz e placas em tempo real

google

Quantas vezes o Google Translator já te salvou, mas sempre te deixou com aquela impressão de que mesmo sendo bom, poderia ser melhor? Quem sabe se você não tivesse de digitar a todo o momento para saber o que alguém está dizendo (apesar de usuários de Android não terem este problema há algum tempo), ou a mensagem contida em uma placa? Em sua mais recente atualização, estes problemas – se é que pode-se chamar assim – foram resolvidos.

A grande novidade deve ficar por conta da integração com o Word Lens, o que permite que o usuário segure o smartphone sobre o texto para que ele seja instantaneamente traduzido. A nova versão também conta com um detector automático de idioma que pode ser usado no modo falado, o que facilita a conversa com pessoas de outros idiomas – atualmente estão disponíveis o português, inglês, francês, alemão, espanhol, italiano e russo. Tudo isso em tempo real – e pelo menos no caso das placas, sem a necessidade da internet.

A atualização está disponível para Android e iOS.
