… I wonder if I will get jailed for this
Ever since I caught my eye over The Flip at Webink’s “A Flip Video camera in every marketers and customers pocket” I couldn’t help, but keep wanting to get one. Not only does it switch on and ready to record in less than 4 seconds, it’s as small as a cell phone (even smaller than the sexy iPhone), weighs roughly 3.3oz, goes as cheap as $149, and even being able to customized the design however you like it (great for sticking in your company’s logo and passing it out as gifts)
Finally, now I can catch my friends in their embarrassing moments and use as blackmail when the time comes…
On a side note, The Flip has recently just introduced the affliation program, which I think is such an awesome idea that fits their marketing perfectly. Flip was able to create an online rave through the support of bloggers, now with more incentives, I can only see it generate even more online buzz ever (even I am talkng about it…)
Dell Singapore recently launched a new social media marketing campaign, Dell Swarm. The idea is the more buyer of a specific Dell laptop within a time range, the cheaper the price of the laptop becomes for everyone. The campaign closely embed facebook, twitter and youtube, allowing users to easily share “the urge to buy” with friends and families, hopefully attracting more buyers creating a win-win situation for everyone.
However…
judging from the histiry of sales, the results are rather poor I have to say, maybe 1 to 2 buyers per machine. I wonder if it just hasn’t caught on yet or because the laptops are Dell?
I was searching around for social media monitoring service and came across ChatterGuard. Haven’t had the chance to actually evaluate their services yet, but there is one thing that caught my eye:
Don’t Let This Happen to Your Hotel
This seems like a great approach to get businesses to start taking social media seriuosly.
Yes! I will fight my laziness and regain control of this forgotten blog (is there a word for this? I bet 50% of all blogs are left thre dying) Well, atleast I’ll try…
