2 Replies

When it comes to guilty pleasures, we all have some stocked away in a tiny closet of your minds that is indulged every now and then even though we do not really prefer talking about the same. According to several dictionaries and meanings, guilty pleasures are those which are enjoyed by people and considered pleasurable at the same time. The guilt associated to these pleasures is often related with embarrassment rather than moral guilt.

Sleeping and lazing around-

One of our biggest guilty pleasures, we end up sleeping and lazing around a lot more than we actually should though we never admit it. We often make thousands of excuses just to hit the sack or snooze button depending on our state of mind and mood

Online gossip columns and websites-

This is another guilty pleasure that we rarely admit to. There are thousands of film and television industry gossip columns that we secretly end up reading even though we cringe when someone finds us out. We always love finding out more information on our favorite stars, celebrities, businessmen and other leading lights across the globe.

Following people on social networks-

Sometimes it is so relaxing and cathartic to follow people around on social networks and glean information on their lives. We can literally do this for hours at a stretch while browsing social networks though we will never really admit it!

Junk Food-

One of the biggest guilty pleasures on earth, junk food is something we simply cannot stop binging on! We will always declare our love for health food and maybe even stick to a routine but this is one guilty pleasure that often surfaces when we’re stressed or simply looking for something to beat life’s monotony.

Drawing pictures in magazines-

How could schools use social media

Social media over the years has changed the way people use internet. With social media people’s interaction with one another has increased which has led to people visiting these sites more often. Though most people see social media as a place to hangout it can also be used as a productive tool. And schools are a place that will benefit from its use. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Pinterest, etc. can be used to increase the interaction between teachers, students and parents. It can also keep the parents in the loop about what their children do in school.

Here is how social media can be used in classrooms:

Facebook

By creating a Facebook page for the classroom, the teachers can post homework and assignments which can be seen by the students and their parents. This way, even the parents will be aware of what’s going on in the class. The teachers can also share stories, post reminders and any changes in the lesson on Facebook.

Pinterest

Students can post their class work/projects on Pinterest for the teachers and parents to see. This can let students to see what their peers have done and get tips on how to improve their project.

Twitter

Students can do quizzes on Twitter. For e.g. teachers can give students quiz questions and ask them to tweet their answers. The teacher can display the answers on the screen in real time. The teachers can also ask their students to give a lesson recap on twitter using 140 or less characters.

Blogger

Blogging is a great way to encourage students to improve their writing skills. Teachers can give out writing assignments to students in blogger. There can also be an essay writing competition between students of different class at Blogger and the best essay can be published in the school’s own private blog.

Why do big brands really need advertising and marketing?

If you’re an advertising agency wondering whether a big brand will really need you or not, you’re in for a lucky surprise! Most big brands are the ones who consistently fuel the advertising and marketing industries. This may sound surprising at first but Fortune 500 companies and brands like Pepsi, Coca Cola and Lays are the ones who actually require marketing and advertising on an ongoing basis and earmark big chunks of their budgets for the same. Consider Coca Cola, one of the world’s biggest and most successful brands and they still spend billions of dollars every year on their advertising and marketing initiatives.

A small business or micro-business is worried about surviving in its target market and hence their investments. However, once these companies reach a certain target, they may stop investing altogether. Big brands, on the other hand, look at marketing and advertising as complete nourishment for customers and realize the effect this strategy has on keeping them on top of the pile. Big brands know that true results are derived only out of innovation and marketing and hence their need for consistent advertising. A big brand needs advertising to keep its reputation intact and stay on top of people’s minds without rotting out or going out of sync. This also helps shape target customer bases on a regular basis and brings in new customers and helps retain old ones through the right visuals, messaging and strategies.

Most importantly, all big brands know that no matter how much success they attain, advertising and marketing is what keeps theme relevant in a rapidly evolving landscape. Marketing and advertising keeps the company’s future secured by drawing new business. Big brands do not rely on current situations; they create newer harvests in advance.  This is why, they need more advertising than other micro businesses that only resort to advertising whenever they fall short of goals or desperately need more work to keep the cash flow position intact. As a result, an advertising agency like Rego Advertising knows that it is indispensable for big brands looking to retain a firm foothold in the market with sustained and evolving campaigns and hence offer tailored solutions accordingly.

Are you a company head looking to impress potential clients? A business card is usually handed out to prospective clients and investors at meetings and PowerPoint presentations. However, in today’s changing times, business cards are no longer in vogue. You have to basically give any client a through idea of your own personality, credentials and your ability to usher in results. Social media profiles and activity are now virtual business cards. Clients now ask for Facebook, Twitter, Google + and LinkedIn profiles. They want to see your experience, your activities, your opinions, your network and your personality in a nutshell and this goes way beyond the scope of what a business card can really show them. This is why social media is given immense importance by companies and clients before taking any major decisions.

This is where you have to tailor your social media profiles immaculately. Your LinkedIn account should contain accurate and honest information on your work experience and areas of expertise. Your skill, talents and professional network should be perfectly showcased on LinkedIn. This holds true for companies as well. Additionally, you should always look to get a few testimonials from previous colleagues, clients and even professionals from other industries and fields. While LinkedIn profiles have to be all about business, companies need to be active on Facebook and Twitter too! Companies should have a sizeable amount of activity in terms of interesting posts and feeds along with decent follower numbers.

This always impresses clients more than anything else. Individuals need to be careful with regard to sharing personal information and photographs on social media platforms. It is best to adopt a balanced approach. Agencies like Rego Advertising believe in harnessing the power of social media to conduct digital marketing campaigns and their accounts are the best virtual business cards, offering insights into their work, their ability as change makers and influencers and their areas of expertise. Similarly, you can also build up your social media platform accounts to work as your best and most potent business cards. This is the biggest trick that many people miss out on these days.
