But Macritchie can never be as hilly as where we ran. During the annual cross country race, there will be this steep slope before the route opens into the main road that everyone dreads. But here, there are an uncountable number of them. I wished I have at least gymmed for the past 5 days before coming here. However, the pace was comfortable and we had to slow down most of the time to avoid slipping down the muddy downhill sections and to land properly on the rocks as we ran along the face of the hill. One interesting thing about the trail is that instead of normal wooden bridges that span across the river, there were huge pipe like stone structures instead. One careless slip on it will just send one stumbling down into an abyss of stones and whatnots. But on the whole, I felt this great sense of accomplishment as we ran back into the carpark. At least the fattening food I have eaten over the last five days now have somewhere to escape. Steve sent us to the university area after Bennett dropped us off near the Arts museum. (see I said he's nice) Nadia and I indulged in a Dunkin Donuts' breakfast before heading off home.
Survey Shows that Willingness to Engage With and Listen to Consumers Increases Brand Advocacy
Fifty-five percent of consumers want an ongoing dialogue with brands, according to a recent survey conducted by ExpoTV, exploring how direct consumer engagement creates brand advocacy. The survey also revealed that positive brand experiences can generate word-of-mouth buzz: more than 60 percent of those polled said they tell 10 or more people about the products they like while a third tell 20 or more people.
Such is the power of word of mouth marketing!Instead of talking down to the customers and guessing what they want, brands should engage their customers in conversations, know their needs better. But is this strategy limited to big brands?
The willingness of a company to engage with consumers directly impacts loyalty and can even lead to increased purchase intent. In fact, 89 percent of respondents would feel more loyal to brands which invited them to participate in a feedback group, and 92 percent of those who have a positive experience communicating with a brand will recommend purchasing a product from that brand to someone they know.
By showing that they care about their customers, customers will certainly feel the sense of gratification to return them a favor by developing loyalty to the brand. Customers feel good as they are empowered in a way.
While consumers are interested in engaging in a dialogue with brands around customer support and pricing, the survey showed that they are most interested in discussing product design.
Survey respondents were also interested in communicating about brands’ efforts to improve existing products and share positive experiences.
In fact, 93 percent of consumers surveyed would be interested or very interested in communicating with competitive brands that expressed interest in their feedback.
We want to be part of the process!
horizons, such as New York (of course!), Washington DC, Boston, Baltimore, Connecticut and Cape Cod. Most of the time we would take a bus, but recently, we had finally gathered enough courage to go on a road trip. What is so unique about each city is that there are always some intriguing stories behind them. For instance, Boston, Connecticut and Cape Cod are located in the region interestingly called the New England, as it has been known that the English Pilgrims fleeing religious persecution in Europe first settled there in 1620. While some people prioritize visiting places of attraction, it is important for me that I learn about the history and culture of the place that I visit. The objective of traveling for me has always been to learn and appreciate more about the differences between Singapore and the rest of the world.
apply most of the concepts which I learnt during my course, Engineering Entrepreneurship. Not only that, my boss is a seasoned entrepreneur who has started 1 other companies and worked for 5 early stage companies like eMoney, which has been acquired by Commerce Bank. It is not difficult to see why he is so successful and each week, he would offer us insights into the web 2.0 arena or motivational stories pertaining to his entrepreneurial background. What I appreciate the most was his insistence that we are given freedom to consider the important tasks we need to do for the company and take responsibility for our own actions. This level of autonomy granted has set free the creative juices that I did not know I had. Moreover, the fact that the majority of the employees are young also means that I have little problem clicking with everyone. In Orbius, I see limitless opportunities to grow as a person and hopefully become closer to fulfilling my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. |

CNN.com says "Forget Facebook, MySpace or any other online hangout that boasts tens or hundreds of millions of people.
Katie Ellis, 23, a tri-athlete, uses Athlinks as a networking site and even finds people she has unknowingly raced against.
For Teresa Munoz, Athlinks, population 34,000, is the place to be."
This lady can't find the people she can connect with for the sport.
This totally sounds out the focus of my company:
"Social-networking sites geared toward hobbies, sports and other specific interests -- alongside those targeting certain age groups, ethnicities or diseases -- are finding growing success as supplements to the larger online hangouts or even as replacements."

Another argument for looking elsewhere for building communities:
"Why not MySpace or Facebook? Ellis said that after seeing her older brother use both, she's concluded "I think it's a waste of time." "
There is certainly a problem of "finding the right groups and identifying the most dedicated members" when it comes to building online communities.
Someone who is interested in joining few craft-related groups, tried doing that on Facebook but "found participants "all really young, immature and not very knitting-literate.""
