Why you can't ignore SMS marketing any longer

By Andrew Campbell


Where email failed to hold audience attention, SMS marketing might just succeed.

Recent research by HubSpot indicates that most 12-17 year olds are moving away from email usage, towards SMS, instant messaging, and social media. There was a 59% drop in their Web-based email usage over the last 12 months. If most teenagers prefer to communicate with text messages, social networks and instant messaging, then email marketing doesn't achieve as much as it used to. SMS marketing is looking like the new best thing.

HubSpot's figures hint that SMS marketing isn't just for teenagers. HubSpot report that "web-based email usage has been on the decline among ALL Internet users under the age of 55." So SMS marketing could be important for all age groups.

This is not to deny email marketing as a technique, but to remind us that SMS marketing (and social media marketing) deserve a place in mainstream marketing practice. SMS marketing has two main benefits that traditional marketing doesn't have. The first is that its medium (text message) is a communication channel preferred by customers (this also why Facebook advertising is successful).

The second reason for SMS marketing success is that it communicates with audiences in a more personal way. The 'one-way' transmission model of communication is gone: we now know that two-way communication is more successful. So SMS marketing, like social media marketing, works because it makes communication between organisations and publics as easy as possible. SMS marketing becomes valuable when audiences can send an SMS to an organisation and get a personalised reply.

SMS marketing is not the overnight solution some claim it to be. It works well as an addition to other marketing channels. It is effective and well-planned. Above all, it must always adhere to marketing best practice and offer customers something of value. That 59% of teenagers who don't use email won't necessarily be customers of SMS marketing right now, but as HubSpot puts it, "today's kids are tomorrow's customers-and they're probably not going to be reading your email."

Watch this video for a quick introduction to SMS marketing: what it is, why it works, and how you can use it.


How does SMS mobile marketing work? What are its benefits? Mobi explains...

Human Branding - From Stigma To Statement

By Gnifrus Urquart


The word, 'branding' indicates a mark made by burning or otherwise. Such a brand may signify ownership. Some societies used brands to mark criminals to disgrace and stigmatize them. The mark itself may be either burned or frozen into the flesh or impregnated into the skin using special needles and indelible inks. This is a tattoo, and in Latin means 'stigma.'

The first example of a human brand is recorded in the Bible, Genesis 4:15, where the Lord placed His protective mark on Cain. The Lord wanted to make sure no one harmed Cain as he embarked on his new life in the Land of Nod.

The Ancient Greeks (Ninth Century B. C. - Sixth Century A. D.) branded slaves with the letter, 'Delta', to indicate that they were 'dolous' or slaves. Similarly, Ancient Romans (Tenth Century B. C. - Fourth Century A. D.) applied the letters, 'FUG' to runaway slaves, meaning 'fugitivus', or 'runaway'. An entire class of Fugitivarii emerged who earned their keep by capturing runaway slaves and returning them to their owners. The Romans similarly marked thieves with the letters, 'FUR', for 'fure', meaning, 'thief, ' or 'CV, ' meaning 'cave furem', or 'beware the thief.'

More recent civilizations also employed branding as a means of both punishing and humiliating criminals. In the 1600s, Puritans in North America would impregnate the letter 'A' into the flesh of men and women who committed acts of adultery. Canadian military prisons would affix the letter 'D' to deserters or 'BC' to indicate 'bad character' before shipping miscreants to penal colonies. Deserters were similarly branded during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

Curiously, the French adopted the practice of identifying criminals by branding with the 'fleurs de lys'. This is curious because the symbol also marked the baton conferred upon the French field marshall in battle. Today, the fleur de lis adorns the battle headgear of the American Football Team, the New Orleans Saints.

In modern times, human branding techniques are less brutal and are now worn more voluntarily as a symbol of belonging or as a personal or fashion statement. More likely brands are affixed using indelible inks implanted under the dermis level of the skin with the us of specialised needles (the tattoo). Other, less permanent, methods of applying tattoos have emerged.

It is not uncommon for soldiers on leave to return to their posts bearing tattoos of their wives, mothers, girlfriends, or a special mark identifying them with their regiment. In an episode of 'The West Wing, ' an itinerant veteran, overcome by the icy elements of a Washington winter, was identified as having served in Korea by virtue of the tattoo that he bore on his arm. Tattoos form an important part of modern subcultures like the Twentieth Century Goth movement. Henna tattoos are also popular amongst religious groups and revellers at modern music festivals like 'Glastonbury' or 'T in the Park'.

What Is Satellite Radio?

By Owen Jones


Satellite radio has actually been around for quite some time, but it was inaccessible to many people because the stations that were broadcasting were fairly unknown, the apparatus was expensive and the antennas, normally in the form of dishes were highly directional, which meant you had to use expensive, skilled installers.

For proof of this you should look no further than bookmakers and betting shops who had specialized satellite broadcasts beamed to their establishments with the results of the races live.

The difference now is in cost and the power of the satellite radio transmission units in addition to the receivers. In other words, satellite radio technology has advanced a long way since the Eighties. Satellite radio can also be received more easily nowadays, although the reception of satellite TV broadcasts still necessitates a directional receiving dish. This is why satellite TV cannot be received well on a boat or in a car, but you can still get satellite radio and you can still operate your mobile phone.

Satellite radio broadcasts are digital so most of the advantages of using it are linked with digital technology. Some of these are: the ability to pick up signals from all around the wold through the satellite network and the lack off interference - that annoying hiss that you often could hear at night while listening to a distant broadcast. Reception is now invariably crystal clear owing to the simple rythym that is digital - on and off or high and low.

Digital only makes use of two signals so they are impossible to mix up, whereas analogue had millions of them allowing for mistakes due to bad weather or / and bad apparatus. That has been basically eradicated.

The situation in the US is that there is still competition between two opposing systems: XM and Sirius and it is to be hoped that this situation will soon be settled as it was thirty years ago between VHS and Betamax, because otherwise it will only be the public who lose out in the end - the clients of the company that goes through.

There were originally problems with satellite radio in some regions because natural or man-made structures would block the line of sight from the antenna or dish to the satellite resulting in a break in reception. Typical reasons for this would be tunnels, mountains and sky scrapers.

However, the satellite radio service providers soon came up with a resolution to the problem by bouncing the signal from the airborne satellite off terrestrial dishes, in other words, reflecting them at closer to ground level, thereby providing satellite radio to millions of inner city dwellers.

Genealogy of Jesus: Knowing About the Genealogy of the Savior

By Wayne Sutton


Everybody knows Jesus and everybody knows what he stands for and what he did for all mankind. However, you have to consider how Jesus came to this world and who his ancestors were. Besides, without his ancestors, there wouldn't even be any Jesus. You have to consider that you also have to be thankful for Jesus' ancestors because without them, there wouldn't be any savior at all and Christianity wouldn't have existed.

Many people lives following the words of Christ and God. Many people have integrated the words of God through Christ in their life and let it serve as a daily guide on how to live their life. You have to consider that a lot of people follow Christ and even though Christ was born and spread the word of God thousands of years ago, Christianity and Jesus Christ are still alive in many people's hearts.

So, where did Jesus come from and who were his ancestors? If you read the bible, you will know about Christ's genealogy as stated in the book of Matthew and Luke. You will see that Jesus' genealogy is traced back to King David and from there, it goes back to Abraham. However, there are significant differences about the genealogy of Christ between the two books. In Abraham up to King David, the genealogy is quite similar. However, starting from King David, Matthew and Luke explains the genealogy quite differently.

In Matthew, you will see that it will start with Solomon and the lineage will proceed to the kinds of Judah and includes Jeconiah. From there, it skipped up to four generations. You will also see that the genealogy of Jesus will state that Jesus Christ is the legal heir to the throne of Israel.

In Luke, you will see that it will also start with King David. However, it will proceed with the different son of King David. Instead of King Solomon as stated in Matthew, you will see that Luke states that the lineage of Jesus will start with King David's other son named Nathan. The two different genealogies have been debated by historians and genealogists for years. Up until today, the debate is still on going and many theories and facts are coming out.

You will see that all will be quite confusing and very difficult to explain. There are quite a lot of people involved and some people even said that the genealogy of Jesus is quite impossible to interpret because of the contradicting genealogy written by Matthew and Luke.

However, no matter how complicated it is, you still have to consider that Jesus is still considered as the son of God. His mother, Mary is considered to give birth to Jesus Christ as a virgin. You have to consider that whatever the genealogy of Jesus is, he is still considered to be the savior of man.

If you like to see more of Jesus' genealogy, you can read the Bible from the Gospels, Matthew 1:2-16 and Luke 3:23-38. You can have your own theories but at the end, Jesus will still be considered as the savior of man.

How Accessories Affect the LG Revolution

By Gareth Jale


Smart phones have definitely revolutionized the way people in the United States stay connected. Although not everyone owns one, that will soon change because they are becoming more and more popular by the minute. They can be seen everywhere, in the park, at work, and even at school. Some people use them to get stuff done, while others use them to stay in touch, and still more use them to amuse themselves. Wherever you fall into the smart phone continuum, one thing is clear: smart phones do better when you pick the right accessories for them. In this article we will discuss some of the roles that accessories play for a smart phone like the LG Revolution.

The first thing to keep in mind about accessories such as a screen protector or a case is that they are designed to work for you, rather than the other way round. In other words, if you find yourself buying accessories because other people have them or are telling you to buy them rather than because you want or need them, then you might want to stop and think things over a little.

After all, if you buy an accessory without giving some thought to its use or purpose, it will likely end up abandoned and unused in a corner of your apartment. While an accessory that you have put thought into will be put to better use.

A good example of an accessory you might find useful is some sort of case for the phone. A case will keep your phone working for longer without your having to spend money on its repair or repurchase. Screen protectors are very similar in the sense that they will also help protect a part of your cell phone.

Alternatively, you might not be interested in protection when it comes to your smart phone as you are about power. This is why chargers and spare batteries can be very beneficial to your phone. Neither is better than the other; which suits you more will depend on what you plan to use more. For example, if you are interested in being able to charge your phone up no matter where you are, then you will want to look into a car charger if you don't already have one, as it can afford you the great convenience of charging on the go. Regardless of what kind of charger you want it is essential to have different charging methods for your device.

You might also want to look into an external battery case for your smart phone, as a second battery is another good way to make sure you always have power while you are on the go. An extra battery will also prolong the life of your primary one.

Getting Yourself Familiar With SIP Trunking

By Martin Paul


You must have already heard ofSIP Trunking but I suppose you're not yet aware of this certain acronym. SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol and when we say SIP Trunking, we mean service connections that are usually offered by Internet Telephony Service Providers.

The idea is to supply connections from the organization to the PBX with the use of internet servers - the outcome is VoIP.

Say for instance, if an worker dials a particular number and does a call that goes by through conventional telephoning system of PSTN, the SIP trunking will designate the company's IP to a PSTN number that's considered the nearest to the called number. By doing this, the employee who is producing the call will simply appear to be calling just within the neighborhood or town.

This will significantly lessen the lengthy distance charges to the company. This kind of telephone system also works the other way around in the sense that it can give local PSTN numbers to clients to call wherever what part of the country they may be.

But the most interesting component is that when these buyers dialed these local numbers, their calls will probably be instantly directed to the PBX. This may give the buyers hassle-free and inexpensive calls.

What is also intriguing about SIP Trunking is that it lessens the use of many physical connections and that the calls which are dealt with by SIP trunks aren't constrained so you can call so long as you would like. But since the calls that usually pass though SIP trunks, the calls are determined by their bandwidth.

This is the answer why businesses make sure that they stop too much visitors often brought on by simultaneous telephone calls and they give a solution to this by buying more than one SIP Trunk.

When you want to get an SIP Trunking service, you can get it from ISP or ITSP providers and based on on the kind of provider you've, you are able to pick out the one that works best for your kind.

But it is extremely critical that you want to know that an SIP has lots of types to offer. With the various varieties of SIP phones, how will you be able to choose the correct one for you?

The SIP VoIP is the first kind of SIP phones and it is also called SIP VoIP soft phones. This type of phone makes use of built-in audio output and input; this fundamentally means the use of microphone and speaker. These microphones and speakers are usually connected to a personal computer to send and receive from your phone.

One of essentially the most well-known examples of this phone is the 3CX VoIP for Windows and Xten. The second type is the USB VoIP phone. This one looks like a telephone and it needs to be connected to your computer to make and obtain calls.

How To Get Ex-boyfriend Back

By Charles Culbertson


Some romantic break ups just aren't meant to be, and are worth trying to repair. Are you trying to get your ex husband or ex-boyfriend back? The first thing that you need to do, is to determine whether or not this is actually what you want to accomplish. Once you have made up your mind and have decided that you want to get your former boyfriend or spouse back, then some of the following, ten ways to get your ex boyfriend back, may be able to help.

1 - Take the time to figure out why the breakup occurred. Is there something that you can change? Sometimes people get comfortable in their relationships and let themselves go, and all it takes to repair this problem is to discover what it is and make a change.

2 - Never personally tell him that you want him back. The odds are, he is missing you too. Play a little bit hard to get and let him remember why he misses you and wants you back. Whatever you do don't overplay this card, as it could have disastrous consequences for you.

3 - Take a look at how you present yourself. Do you make an effort to dress up for your ex boyfriend, or are you too comfortable around him for that now? If you used to dress more nicely and perhaps more provocative, consider going back to that. If you dress to impress, he may find himself wanting you back.

4 - Get a little closer to his male friends to stir up a bit of jealousy. Some times all that it takes is to remind him how much he wants you back by making him a little jealous. However, a word of caution when using this tactic; it could possibly backfire on you.

5 - Think about how you talk to him, in comparison to how you used to talk to him. Talk to him the same way that you want to be spoken to if you want to reignite a romantic feeling between the two of you. Bring back the "sweet terms of endearment" you guys used when you first fell in love with each other.

6 - Ask him out after you have formed a game plan, and show him that you can still have fun together with one another. Don't worry about complicating things by working out the issues now, just show him that you guys can still have fun and watch things reignite accordingly.

7 - Force yourself to be laid back and even confident when you are around him. Do not stress yourself out worrying about talking things through with him. Most guys prefer girls that know what is best for them.

Elements of a Residential Photo Voltaic Power Plan.

By Michael Thiele


A Residential solar energy system consists of four components : photovoltaic panels, charging controller, battery pack and an inverter. The photovoltaic panels convert solar light into electrical energy. The electricity is sent in direction of the charging controller who keeps the battery pack fully charged, but not more than charged. The battery pack sends the electric electrical power towards the inverter who converts the DC voltage to family AC at 120 volts and 60 hertz.

Photovoltaic panel

The output of your photo voltaic panel is stated in watts. The wattage is stated is usually for peak solar various hrs. Considering that the amount of solar light varies through the course of your day, to level out the variations the peak sun a number of a long time has been adopted by most manufactures to assist installers and customer's compare various photo voltaic panel models.

Suppose a photo voltaic panel is rated for 100 watts and an average of six peak solar a number of several hours is obtainable per day. Then the photograph voltaic panel would produce 100 watts * 6 peak a number of a long time = 600 watt several hours of electricity or 0.6 kilo watt several hrs (KWh)

Charging controller

Charging controller or charge regulator controls the charging from the battery pack. It continually monitors the battery pack's charge state. If the batteries are low, it will send electricity from your solar panels towards the batteries. It also prevents more than charging through the

battery pack.

Do not permit someone to convince you that a charging controller isn't really required. Directly connecting the photovoltaic panels towards the battery pack can permanently damage the electric batteries and possibly trigger them to explode.

Battery pack

The battery pack's purpose is to store electric power generated by the photo voltaic panels throughout the day after which at night or throughout very cloudy days offer electric electrical power in the direction of the inverter.

The battery pack normally consists of lead acid electrical batteries. Lead acid batteries are comparatively inexpensive and readily obtainable. There are lots of distinct kinds, sizes and capacities of batteries obtainable. Essentially the most well-known are gel cell and AGM deep cycle electrical batteries merely due to the fact they are maintenance free and last an incredible deal longer than wet cell lead acid electrical batteries.

Probably the most essential issue to bear in mind about the batteries is that the require to become deep cycle. Deep cycle batteries are created to turn into discharged then recharged hundreds if not thousands of times. A deep cycle battery is made to discharged to practically empty, but not totally and then be slowly recharged far more than time. A frequent mistake for residence owners is usually to believe that they can use automotive electric batteries instead of deep cycle batteries. Car batteries are shallow cycle electric batteries. They're made to discharge an incredible deal of current rapidly soon after which be instantly recharged.

Inverter

An inverter converts the DC electrical power stored in the battery pack into household 120V AC. Almost everything in your house is powered by 120V electric ability. Things like table lamps, freezer, lights, motors, dishwasher, and so on.

Now you have a fundamental understanding of photograph voltaic electrical power how it functions to electrical power your house. Now you have sufficient details about how photo voltaic vitality functions to determine if it's a technology that you would wish to invest in for your house.

Why Newsletters?

By Michael Kowalski


Many small business owners are asking why newsletters are so important. What does it mean to their business? Why is it necessary?

There are a few key reasons to be sending out a monthly newsletter and how they have contributed to the success of many businesses.

It is more important than ever with the poor economy and stiff competition these days to stay in front of your customers and prospects at all times and to build long term, trusting relationships. With a monthly newsletter, you can do this in a fun, and non threatening manner.

Monthly newsletters are a great way to stay in touch with your client base and to further educate prospective customers. Buying during a bad economy (those big ticket items especially) can be a very emotional undertaking. The more your prospect is educated, and trusts and understands what your company does and how you can help is all about, the more comfortable they will feel when choosing who they want to deal with (and buy from).

New referrals can be triggered in such ways as including a referral contest in your newsletter. Perhaps give away a gift certificate or a free dinner at a popular restaurant in your area. Have a quiz to see how much they know. Make it fun. Include jokes and general items of interest.

Invite more people into your business or have the opportunity to up-sell by including coupons for dollars off of their next purchase of product or a procedure. Newsletters are a great way to introduce new services, technology and techniques.

It's an effective tool for giving updates or changes to your business and industry in general. For example, you may be moving to a bigger location or expanding your existing location, you may have a new employee or you may be introducing workshops or seminars or, you may be having a special event. You might be teaming up with someone else of interest in your industry that complements what you do. It's a great way to introduce other people of importance that you may be doing work with, or are being educated by, or that you're associated with. Have an "Expert" of the month and publish one of their articles. Have a "Customer of the Month" and share their success story.

You can have a special interest story from one of your clients talking about their experience with your company and the product/service they have purchased. People love to hear about what's going on in any business they are interested in and there's always a story there to talk about.

Essentially, your customers and prospects will know what's new in your business on a monthly basis. How often have you gone somewhere else for a service or item because you didn't know your existing supplier had it? Think of the dollars they lost because you went elsewhere. It's also a simple way to help to keep your database of contact information up to date.

Keep these things in mind when putting out a newsletter:

Keep your audience in mind and give them information that's pertinent to them It should be educational Have a few good core articles, a message from you, tidbits, industry news, cartoons etc. Special offers should be included There should be a section that prompts them to refer a friend In today's economy, more and more people are using their coupons. Be sure to include one. Keep it clean and simple and stick to your deadline (build in a cushion for unexpected delays) Get customer feedback. It's important to be putting what they're looking for in front of them.

Newsletters are one of the least expensive advertising and marketing tools. Some companies offer great inexpensive templates that you can follow or you can take a crack at it and create something unique yourself. I hope to get a copy of your newsletter soon!

Getting a Great Experience with the HTC Inspire

By Gareth Jale


Today, if you want to have fun as a citizen of the world, or even simply of the United States, you will want to have a smart phone nearby. It doesn't matter if you're toting a top of the line model such as the iPhone 4 or something more humble such as an entry level Samsung, or an in between smart phone such as the HTC Inspire; the important part is that you have one. This is because smart phones are rapidly becoming the de facto way of staying connected in this country. Laptops and desktops are still around, of course, but there are more sophisticated ways of staying in touch these days, and those are smart phones. This article will discuss how you can get the best possible experience with people.

Perhaps the first thing you can do to maximize your experience when using the HTC Inspire is to make sure the firmware is up to date. The firmware of your smart phone is essentially the underlying programming that enables your phone to function. Unlike software that can be modified at will, firmware is usually updated by an update provided by the manufacturer.

An extra battery can also help you get the most out of your smart phone. While the battery that comes with the Inspire by default is not a bad one, inevitably it will run out of charge, and if you are at all interested in doing fancy things with your phone, you will need to have some extra battery power to make sure you can keep on doing those interesting things.

The great thing with extended batteries is that they come in different sizes. The bigger the battery the less time you have to spend charging your mobile phone.

Many of the apps that already come installed can also be removed and replaced. It isn't that they are bad; just that you can find apps that are designed specifically for what you are looking for and need. There are large repositories of apps all over the internet that include reviews of their efficacy.

These two accessories are the easiest and most convenient way to add protection and energy that your phone will surely need.

Crossing the cultural divide in business communication

By Fox Lescott


Today, thanks to communications technology, our planet feels smaller than ever. The fact that we can share information instantaneously across vast distances has been revolutionary, but, in order to successfully cross the invisible divides that exist, there are a range of cultural obstacles to navigate. The key watchwords for cross-cultural communication are understanding and respect.

Even when everyone speaks the same language as each other, their business methods often differ, and they may have different expectations of how business relationships should be conducted. As a result, collaborating with or doing business with people from different cultures can be a fairly complex thing.

If you prepare properly, however, you will minimise the chance of misunderstandings arising, and therefore reduce the chance of problems or delays. If you don't approach people from different cultures with, at the very least, a spirit of tolerance, you could derail an opportunity irreversibly. By the same token, however, cross-cultural communication opens up a range of new opportunities that could be highly beneficial if you make the most of them. You could get vital intelligence about a market, or you could assemble a team of people from different backgrounds that allows you to solve a problem more effectively than you would have been able to with a homogenous group.

Any international project needs to be based on an appreciation of the requirements of the countries involved in order to be successful. It must also be backed up by an ability to source the appropriate resources. When you are dealing with the contrasting needs of different markets, adaptability is key.

The clothes you wear to a meeting, the language you use in an email, the hospitality a client expects - all these things and lots more besides are influenced by cultural norms. Obviously, politeness should be uppermost in your mind when you're trying to develop a fruitful relationship with someone whose traditions differ from yours. However, even the ideas of what amounts to respect and what signifies offence vary from one culture to the next. Some cultures are more inhibited in the way they express their views; others are more straight-talking. In order to do business effectively in the global marketplace, getting your head round subtleties like this is crucial.

The Suitability Of Satellite Internet

By John Lenokon


Those living in rural areas lacking high speed service through DSL, cable, or fiber optics have resigned themselves to living with slow, cumbersome, and unreliable dial-up telephone based services, or just going without. Reliable access to the information superhighway for personal and business applications has now become more of a necessity than a luxury. Satellite internet is a viable and preferable option for many of those users.

It simply is not feasible to wire all the homes on the planet for service. Therefore large portions of the population have been dependent on their telephone line and dial-up. Many people in these living situations have never connected to the world wide web, where increasingly the world's communications and commercial activity is focused.

Depending on the user's needs, receiving signals through low earth orbit or geostationary satellite internet offers vast improvement over dial-up. The main problems with dial-up have always been the slowness of the signal, and the resulting disconnects due to timing out, or just getting kicked off the system in the middle of whatever you were doing, because other users want access. This option to dial-up is available anywhere in the world, provided there is line of sight access to the signal, at reasonable cost and works fine for most applications.

There may be factors inherent in the technology, having to do with the signal, that some may consider to be limiting. Your data does travel at the speed of light with satellite internet, but this does take some time for the signal to travel between your computer and earth's orbit.

It will take about 1/4 second for a round trip. The round trip is a request for data sent out, and the response coming back. Packet double delays and network delays can make the time considerably longer. However, because most understand that satellite internet is often hundreds of times faster than dial-up, this delay is negligible.

This may not be so noticeable when checking e-mail or searching the web, but this system may not be suitable for various interactive uses such as video games, Skype, and video conferencing. Some of these applications will have difficulty interpreting the latency and will not function correctly. It seems that humans can have the same difficulty. Even when they are consciously aware of the latency issue, delays in responses subconsciously signals doubt and triggers feelings of mistrust between communicants.

A variety of signal speed plans, and options to purchase or lease equipment plans make broadband practical for everyone. Although satellite internet has some inherent limitations, it is a viable option for rural or mobile users.
