巧克力和标志的重要性

你喜欢巧克力吗?好时巧克力怎么样?
如果您的回答是肯定的,那么您可能不应该查看在互联网上引发热烈讨论的公司新标识。

(许多消费者认为该标志是垃圾。字面意思)
继臭名昭著的Airbnb案例(见下图)之后,作为标志剧的最新“热潮”,世界上最知名的巧克力品牌之一陷入了看不到“大标志图片”的陷阱。

这些可能是很好的例子,说明如何深入细节并过多关注自己的信息会适得其反。
我想这个故事的寓意是……无论你花费多少时间、精力和资源来传达你的愿景——花点时间退后看看它。真的看看。

VACATION TIME IS A MUST FOR BOOSTING EFFICIENCY

thumbsup

As the summer has come to an end, there may be a number of questions in the back of our minds: have we taken the trips and time-off we were planning to or has the summer gone by without stepping in for a coffee at your house?

It is easy to forget to give time to yourself when you are busy chasing business opportunities and easy enough to find excuses for yourself if your sacrifice resulted in a shiny new business deal. But is it smart to miss out on vacation?

According to internal research by audit firm EY (formerly Ernst & Young), employees who use more vacation days end up with better performance reviews.

So next time you are considering putting off another vacation, trey to change your mindset. Think of rest time as part of your working schedule, a booster, an express course in better efficiency – and make sure the next summer will not pass you by.

假期是提高效率的必要条件

随着夏天的结束,我们的脑海中可能会出现一些问题:我们是否已经完成了计划中的旅行和休假,或者夏天已经过去了而您没有走出家门去咖啡馆喝杯咖啡?
当您忙于追逐商机时,很容易忘记给自己腾出时间,而如果您的牺牲带来了新的商业交易,则很容易为自己找借口。但是错过假期是否明智?
根据审计公司 EY(前身为 Ernst & Young)的内部研究,使用更多假期的员工最终会获得更好的绩效评估。
所以下次当你考虑推迟另一个假期时,试着改变你的心态。将休息时间视为您工作日程的一部分、助推器、提高效率的快速课程——并确保下一个夏天不会错过。

LESSONS TO LEARN FROM THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE

ice bucket challenge

We have all seen examples of how a simple video, picture, trend or even a phrase can go viral – the most recent one being the “ice bucket challenge”. No matter where we stand on the idea itself, there are definite marketing lessons to learn here.

So what is it that creates the viral effect? According to Entrepreneur.com, there are a number of factors at play here:

  1. Have a goal/cause

Most viral phenomena are created with a purpose in mind. Define a clear message for your campaign and keep it simple.

2.  Make it fun and easy

These days, as we all know, people have neither the time or the willpower to read long articles or watch complex presentations. Put your message in the simplest form possible and add a touch of humour. Success guaranteed!

3.  Ask other to join in

As with the ice bucket challenge, asking each participant to spread the word- encourage your target audience to involve their immediate network, thus increasing the scope of your campaign, as well as add to the fun of being part of something together with your friends.

NEW DOMAIN SPACE FOR YOUR BUSINESS

new domains

A recent decision by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has probably changed the face of the Internet – or at least have offered it a set of new accessories. More than 1, 000 generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) have been opened up (outside the .com .net and.biz variety. This means that a small business has now the option of choosing an almost tailored business domain: .florist, .gallery, .repair, .homes, .technology, .coffee and more.

Even though the .com domain will probably be dominating over the Internet scene for a number of years, the newcoming domains are by far a confident step into a more diverse future.
