We all know why Facebook is topping the charts.  With over millions of visitors a day, Facebook sure knows its way into the social media frenzy.  We have come to know Facebook as one of the major portals of social connectivity but other than that, Facebook is leading us into a different world called Facebook marketing.

What Facebook marketing offers matter to people’s businesses; which is why as a Global Marketing Specialist for Voiceville, we utilize Facebook to connect to thousands of people worldwide.  Not only that, we literally make friends with everybody.  Facebook is here for a reason; businessmen take advantage of this social medium to engage or to use it as an outlet to feel a social vibe.

With the help of Facebook, we allow people to be who they are and we indulge in their interests to show that we respect their individualism.  Here are some tips for those planning to jump in the Facebook circus.

1. Acknowledging Connections – Getting to know who you connect with is the touch base of Facebook marketing.  Without the establishment of that connection, you defeat its purpose.  Treat it the same way that the rest of the world does.
2. Avoid Selling as a Greeting – We all know how annoying it can be when a stranger comes up to us and says “Hi, why don’t you buy some of our products!”   No one, not even those who sleep with marketing ideas on their head can achieve anything productive using this method.  Never compel people into buying anything just yet.  They will need it when the right time comes.  Meanwhile, do what you can to inform them of anything that actually relates to their interests in life.  You never know, it will be them who will come after you and not the other way around.
3. Follow Through – Just because you already made connections, that does not mean you stop from there.  Always update yourself and your friends in Facebook.  Utilize the news feed or the Wall to know what is going on and see how you can target that as a meeting point.  That way, you can market efficiently without losing their attention.  Keyword? Magnetize.

Remember, Facebook knows how to land the plane.  Our role in that is to be the landing strip so the plane gets to where it should be.  Lastly, never underestimate the power of making connections because we believe that it can move mountains.

Being a full time student, an incoming fourth year- with internships and thesis in the picture- and a full time and self supporting global marketing specialist, the Samsung GT B3310 is of great help to my sanity. The features are fit to match a very busy and active lifestyle.

The four-line QWERTY keypad enables fast text messaging and easy handling with its compact body. Menu navigation is a breeze with its optional home screen shortcut tool bar, enabling you to access messaging, music, calendar, alarms, and other key features. The keypad is comfortable and is amazingly responsive. The numeric keys running alongside the screen is perfect for fast numeric typing in messaging when the QWERTY keypad is slid open.

Like most mobile phones, Samsung GT B3310 offers a calendar feature which allows you to keep track of appointments, dates and meetings.  Its music player is compatible with MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA.

But unlike most phones, it offers variety of Social Networking Services support. And it also provides multiple IM Support through Fring feature. Because of the invention of Facebook and the effectiveness of Facebook Marketing, my job has become easier. I can easily access my accounts on the go. Unlike most phones that boast of a full QWERTY keyboard, the Samsung GT B3310 really has a full QWERTY keypad. You can access numbers without having to press other keys.

The phone camera is a 2MP camera with multiple shooting modes. But the quality of the pictures is great for such a specification. When photographs are transferred and uploaded, you will find quality shots. Having ocular visits to sites and documenting them for my thesis study has become fun with the phone. The phone also supports video recording up to QVGA 15 fps.

The phone also has a Fake Call feature which allows me to get out of awkward conversations. When activated, I receive an automated call and hear a recording of my choice. You can opt to record a seemingly real person (perhaps you will use a different voice) and click on the option menu after saving the file and set it to Fake Call. You can assign a button for this- either the north or south key so you can activate it conveniently and convincingly. For an affordable phone such as the Samsung GT B3310, the performance is surprisingly amazing. It can last up to 2 days with non stop text and almost 7 hours call time. With light to moderate use, it can go up to 96 hours. For the audio quality, it is better than most expensive phones.

Being constantly on the run between work and school, the Samsung GT B3310 has become my partner, a sturdy phone to help me keep a steady grip on my priorities.

For winning the PBB Double Up Second Big Placer

Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up, the third regular season of Pinoy Big Brother,  began on October 4, 2009 on ABS-CBN .

Let’s face it; these complaints have made it difficult for you to look in the mirror and utter the words “It’s been a good day today”.  You’re not the only one dealing with these endless complaints because they are every man’s worst waking nightmare.  They don’t just go away; not unless you give it a big punch in the face in order to take back what’s rightfully yours: a well-balanced life.

The inability to juggle time on your hands: business, family, sports, or some me-time.  It could even be a combination of all these but unfortunately, you always get tangled in the same web, which makes success even harder to achieve and life bearable to live.  Admit it, it gets tougher every time and you squeak insanely like an unfed child because IT’S JUST REALLY FRUSTRATING.  No matter what you do, your time just isn’t enough. And your pessimism just smothers you all over again.  Now you need to escape from the cudgels of schedule mismanagement. As they say, “Desperate times call for desperate measures”.

But don’t despair; it’s not too late to make amends with your good old self.  The reason why you’re even reading this is because you believe in second chances.  Voiceville not only provides the illusion that you actually have a second chance: you can have the realization of taking control back in your hands. We also believe in guts and the perseverance to move forward; but sometimes, guts and perseverance aren’t enough! This is where we come in.

The choice is now yours. You can either go on and complain, or you can do something about it. With Voiceville at your side, you can see the better light of day.

If you are thinking of starting a new business or venturing into a new strategy, doing market research enables the company to save on loses; it determines if there is enough demand in the market to ensure sufficient profit.

Others also depend on market research to communicate better with customers. The quantity and quality of input you get from them, the more you will be able to address what needs to be addressed, and you will also be able to assess your company’s strengths and weaknesses through and by how your customers see your service / product. It helps one measure the company’s progress. Defining one’s market also helps a company discover new markets.

Market research is not simple. It requires time, effort, and the expertise. Most of all, it cost money. As a response, many businesses now choose to outsource rather than having it in-house in order to cut on cost, ensure expertise, and save the company of having to hire and train personnel to do the task.

1. Does the company have credibility? Does the company have a good and solid track record? Financial stability and good credentials are the key words here. Is the company you’re considering financially stable and secure?

2. Do they have the expertise for the task at hand? Ask the company for samples. Communicating this early will help you better understand if they can match you expectations. Account management is another thing to consider. How will your account be managed?

3. Are they strategically located? Infrastructure and technology is the name of the game here so this is crucial.

4. Are you culturally compatible? Before you even partner make sure that this company understands you and your company. Take a good look at their vision and mission.
