New CD-ROM & DVD Duplication & Print Price List is now Available

2010-01-06T10:25:00.004+11:00

CD-ROMs play an important part in promotion and learning for many companies. Unlike websites, CD-ROMs are in a physical form, so employees, students or potential clients can take something with them after your first meeting, whether it be a conference, promotional show or one-on-one meeting. Once inserted into a CD-ROM drive they automatically start, playing at full screen, so the user does not get distracted.

How do you interact with your clients? "get the brand in their hands"

2009-11-11T13:30:00.006+11:00

Apps Electrics Celebrates Anniversary in Style
Today i finished a clients project where we made a presentation in Flash and converted it to an iPod, iTunes & iPhone compatible mv4 file and copied it to 70 iPod Nano's.

The iPod Nano's we purchased were the same colour as the clients branding and had their logo printed on the back of every iPod.

When each client receives their Christmas present they get a branded iPod with a video thanking them for their support over the pat 3 generations of directors.

In summary this is the ultimate way to put a video message in a clients hands and they will refer back to it for years to come as the Apple iPod range are so popular and the "brand is in their hands"

Communicate Live with anyone, anywhere in up to 45 languages.

2009-10-02T13:38:00.004+10:00

Here is a great site I came across. www.babelwith.me
"Communicate with anyone, anywhere in up to 45 languages. BabelWith.me is a simple, free group chat that automatically translates your conversation as you type."

Even though this seems like the best chat invention ever, automatic translation for professional website use is a bad idea.

Here is a quote from the Commercial Translation Centre's website Article: "Free Translation"
"the word "run" depending on the context may have up to 47 possible translations and so far a human translator is still required to decipher this."

In conclusion, instant online chat & website translation is fun, but can be quite offensive to the potential or existing client.

Joomla vs osCommerce. Which one is best for E-Commerce?

2009-09-04T10:50:00.004+10:00

I have been a fan of osCommerce & Joomla for years now, but I'm considering giving Joomla a shot at E-Commerce rather than just CMS, blogs & Directories.

I would love to hear from the community to see if you have made the switch to Joomla for E-Commerce and if it has been positive and is there any limitations.

A New Way to Publish YouTube Videos in a Playlist

2009-07-30T09:42:00.010+10:00

I recently discovered http://embedr.com/ which is the easiest way I have found to create video playlists so far.
Pros:
- Copy and paste YouTube, MySpace, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and Blip.Tv urls into the playlist maker
- order them in anyway you like
- "Smart Playlist" enables you to create an automated playlist based on a YouTube username, playlist, keyword or category
- Customise size, colour, Standard Screen Format or Widescreen Format, autoplay
- Sharing options: embed, link, post to social media
Cons:
- 50 videos max per playlist
- no uploading of own videos
- playlist is branded however go a quick response from their support team saying "Currently there is no way to do this. However, we are working on a white label package that should be ready in a few months."

Are you attending any Bridal Shows this Year?

2009-07-30T09:37:00.006+10:00

I have an E-mail Marketing Program that runs on my server and I can give you access to use it from $19/month.

For Bridal Shows you could get potential clients to enter their details for a ‘competition’ or ‘subscribe & save offer’, which will then collect all of the potential contacts details in a database.

You can also have an auto-respond email, so when they check their emails on Monday morning, your business is on top of their minds.

You can create unlimited amount of contact lists, so you could have one for potential, current and existing clients to market to with ‘newsletters’

Once the form is created I can paste the code into any website, so there is no branding.

Let me know if you are interested.

Google Adwords: Questions and Answers

2009-02-05T13:00:00.008+11:00

Q: "Why can't I see my sponsored link when I type in a keyword into Google Search?"
A: This is becasue you have achieved your daily budget.

Q: "if all the budget is not used in one day does it carry over?"
A: Your money is only spent if it is clicked on, so even if you say limit you spend to $2.00 per day you could actually only spend $10.00 per month.

Q: "Can you set a different cents per click on different words? for example $0.35 on 'snowglobes' and $0.10 cents on 'toys' ?"
A: Yes. Each keyword can have it’s own value for each advertisement, yet if you want a different maximum daily budget for each keyword you have to create a separate campaign for each one. (then you can also change the text in the advertisement to suit the keyword)
