For those in advertising discussing Future of Advertising, here is an interesting case study. The presentation is by Heather Oldani, U.S. Communications Director at McDonald’s and is a great social media strategy pres to pickup a few interesting points from. Enjoy! (via ViralBlog ) McDonald’s hasn’t over played their hand in the social space so far, and that’s probably a good thing for most brands to consider when getting into social media. What I like about the McDonald’s approach so far, is that they are there listening, have become willing conversationalists and are activating engagement, BUT are not trying to be over night heroes in launching the next Whopper Sacrifice Campaign or  Ikea...

Social media is fit just for social interaction to waste idle time or to exchange knowledge and views. In fact social media is an expensive hype for not only for mid-sized b2b company, but also b2b giants.

Free Style Marketing How many times have you been to a business conference that guided the world to sell things for free? Well, if you never heard about one, then you need to know about Nokia World 2007 Conference where Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief talks to the world referring to this. The campaign broke all the traditional rules of selling a service product. As per Chris, the new way to sell today has changed focus from the actual product to the complementary product or supporting product that could enhance the selling of original product. Chris talks about the new selling concept of 0 + 2 = 2 in contrary to the old concept of 1+1 = 2. Now, what the hell does he mean by this Maths..? Consider Company A that sells both - the products and the services on the same products. As per the traditional earning model Company A earned Rs 1 revenue from selling the product and Rs 1 revenue from the services on the product. The modern way of selling sacrifices the revenue on product to earn...

What could be wrong with the Stock Market? Today, the 1 standard deviation event occurred, Sensex numbers.  Economy is predicted to grow at 10% next fiscal. Credit market working ok. No subprime troubles.  Industrial numbers grew around 9% till this quarter compared to 7.8% last fiscal same time. American numbers very encouraging. Showing  median of 20% less trouble than last year. What could be the explanation of the markets heading south, when it is supposed to give a 0.02% daily return. The reason can be the unprecedented  upward movement of the  Dow.  The Quants  there might  not have expected the sudden surge in the index there. The hedge funds and mutual funds  there depends heavily on leverage.  For every 1 dollar of invested funds they can leverage beyond 10 times that. Then they short certain quantity of investment with the long position say like 70/30, 70 long and 30 short or 120/40 the same way. If their Quant models misbehave like there short positions start loosing...
