Locate Your Lost Android Phone with this free App

An App to let You find Your Phone when on Silent mode. Wow!

Thats right “Where’s My Droid” app can help you locate your mobile phone when you have left it on silent mode either in Your office desk between those million papers or in a party lying under tons of coats. Its truly best when you have misplaced it in your own room and remember it just when you are leaving ‘late’ for your class

How does it work: It has dual functions, as in GPS for losing your phone in a place you don’t remotely recollect leaving it and also in case you have misplaced it in that very special place, where you are so desperately trying to remember.

Case1: You’ve misplaced your dear mobile phone leaving it in silent mode somewhere close-by, you can send a text message to your phone and the app will increase the volume of your ringer to 100% and then ring for 30 seconds, 60 seconds, one minute or five minutes as enabled by you to help you locate it easily in the app settings.

Case2: You have no clue, where your phone is. Text your phone and receive the GPS co-ordinates and a link to Google Map displaying location of your mobile  phone. (The catch is, you would need to leave your GPS on all the time)

You can change the SMS text settings which when sent to your mobile phone activates the awesome functions of the app.

Default is set to “Wheres my droid” & “GPS my droid”. You can change it to something that you would remember easily but would not be too obvious for anyone planning to misuse the same.

You also have an option where you can set a ‘pass-code’ to these settings to keep the secret ‘SMS text words’ secure.

Android Phone users can check out this app “Where’s my droid?” ~ Click here

With this app, be a little more secure while on the go.

Have fun!

Social Media Marketing, Monitoring & Measuring: Turbo Powering Brand You in real-time

Great, so the world is now way past the “Social Media cannot be measured stage” as brands have begun evaluating the ROI for not only their Customer engagement, brand loyalty but have begun crunching sales numbers for their products, services and are gearing up to now go beyond the daily metrics.

Today with the power of social media tools, online marketing campaigns can track everything from pulls, ping-backs, redirects to actual hits, tracking, connect and sale.

The value in return, is well, just like the plan, long term and priceless.

Its all happening and its in real-time.

The Most Crucial Challenge:

The real challenge which marketers across seem to be facing today is keeping the power of the three M’s (Market, Monitor & Measure) connected not just to numbers but the Brand itself.

Why, because we can use the three M’s today but can we empower it to turbo charge our Brand in real-time?

Let’s see how we can do it:

• Customer within: To begin with, understanding that Brands today have a much larger and more responsible role than ever before, that is to connect with the customer within. This would be the first step. Stop trying to think like the customer, “be the customer’

• Its not me, its always You: Wouldn’t you agree if this was the line used rather than the one that movies have made legends out of, relationships would have been stronger with time and loyalty? Now think from a Brands point of view. One needs to accept the fact that unless you are Steve Jobs or Brand Harry Potter, your product might not get a million pre-booking orders a week in advance. Thus the second step is, it’s not just the service or product or brand that sells, for the end user of any other brand its simply ‘you’. Your commitment to them with sincerity in your gesture, tone, message and the constant effort to consistently deliver ‘value’ to the customer is all that matters.

• Gratify NOW: Today the word “like’ and ‘share’ mean so much more and to a marketer these words today are pure magic when it comes from a customer. Why, because when a customer hits a ‘like’ or a ‘share’ button today for your brand, product or service,he is your very own brand ambassador online.
  • He has done three things for you with a single click:

• Given you real time feedback
• Added a power value in the form of referral
• Turbo charged your Brand for FREE

Now when we think of it in the above terms, we realize the need to ‘Gratify’ that customer ‘Now’.  Always track and thank them, give freebies or badges, discounts for sharing etc that will actually add ‘value’ to them. It’s always easier to gift a prospect than share benefits with an existing customer isn’t it? So make sure, when they have powered you, you too empower them.

• Invitational yet paid Lunch: So you have a fan page on facebook and every post of yours is about the new offer that you have come up with. Well, lets see, now ‘How would you feel if someone invited you at their place for lunch and then tried to sell you something at the dining table during your lunch or worse, made you pay for that lunch?‘ That’s right, so when you have a fan page and members, surround them with conversations about what they would love to do. Feed them with useful interesting information, resources and links. These pages are wonderful source to understand your customers so much better. Ask them, take their opinions, know what they like, engage them in conversations. Imagine scores of ‘fans’ suggesting ideas in real-time that could help you in helping them. That’s multi-dimensional targeted marketing power from a single page for you.

• Ease to connect: Very important. Just because there is a site with lots of people online on it or may be a mobile application that is the most downloaded, don’t force it upon your customers too. Give them various options to connect. Have an easy way or platform for each of your customer to get discounted offers, deals, resources, freebies from anyplace that is of ease to them. So every offer of yours need not be marketed using only a blog or a fan page. It could be shared and integrated with website referrals, viral campaigns, mobile integrated offers with check-ins, twitter power and social bookmarking etc. Let them have the ease to connect with you using tools that they are comfortable with.

• Its always fun when its well, ‘Fun’: Same old movies, dinner, clothes and routine work. So dull! Isnt it? So why give only an opportunity to comment, share or like to your customer. Give them something they can interact with. Engage them with tools that will make them use their creativity, or may be share their photography skills, make them fan of the week for engaging others, let them try out their new smartphone for scanning a QR code may be and sharing the awesome interactivity with his or her friends. Let them find out a fact about something interesting and unique, useful and fun while they engage with your brand. Keep it rolling.

There are so many more things that can be a part of customer engagement, moderation, monitoring and connecting with your user that can help you grow in every which way possible. Like the post reads, Turbo charges BRAND You!

I have listed just a few from it.

Do share your views, comments and your experience using various techniques to keep your customer engaged with your brand.

Looking forward to Your comments.

Have a wonderful day ahead!

Regards

Style & Design

• The Theme of the website was the TECHDIVINE logo itself. The colours have been inspired from the logo to begin with (Light Green, Blue, White & Maroon across links, pages, bg etc)
• The Source style and background (bg) used is the Back Cover design creative of our Popular Your SMQ Social Media Quotient Magazine. That bg forms part of our inside pages too as the main background with a brushed water effect.

The idea of this design for the website is:

• To make navigation easy for our website users.
• To provide in detail textual and image rich content & information (this was among the core feedback points that we received for our old website, when we took a survey before planning the new website from our members across platforms of Facebook,  Blog, Twitter etc)
• To have complete social media feed integrations across facebook social media marketing group page, twitter, blog, facebook fan page on our website for users to connect, share, comment etc easily.

• Finally, to connect with our Founder in Contact Us section under Connect beyond, know more about our company background etc

Functionality:

We wanted to make the navigation easy and at the same time creative. Which is why we planned our Navigation buttons at the bottom of the page in a simple pop-up fashion and integrated sub-head as pages within thus reducing the overall page load time drastically and making the site quick load with content rich in text, images and social network integration.

Easy Navigation

Each page also has a “quick click navigation system” too on top of the website with links to “Home, About Us, Our Services, Contact Us”

Quick Navigate

One Core Section for  - “The Creative You” called ‘PAGE YOU’:

Pre Launch – 4th Year Corporate Blog Anniversary Special Preview

Your SMQ – Social Media Quotient 1st Year Birthday special

Social Media Marketing Connect  -4th Year Celebration Bash

Today the power of social networking sites like facebook, orkut, myspace, Friendster have been more than successful in capturing the three worlds – Corporate, Consumer & Social influencer.

There are many brands which choose to begin with Viral marketing campaigns when they kick-start their online marketing activity. And why not, with the power of live and interactive tools that have been integrated and have become part of emailers, landing pages, web banners etc today,  viral marketing is much more than your regular “just to sell” emails.

Viral Marketing campaigns can be carried out for products (physical & software), services, Brands, internal referrals, new offers, product upgrades, etc in a manner that truly adds some value to the end user.

Of the various ways and techniques in which one can promote products across viral marketing campaigns, emailer campaigns and landing pages are two of the most powerful and popular formats.

Moreover, when its linked with each other, as in an emailer click-through landing you on your target page is one of the best forms of viral marketing campaigns connect available.

• Simply, to begin with, when the click-through occurs, the prospect is already at a stage where he or she has shown their interest towards the message in the emailer.
• Then, once landed on the target page, the impact of the visual and message which form part of the real offer is what tells the marketer about the appeal of that offer to the said prospect.
• This finally depends on whether or not the prospect registers on the target landing page and responds to the call of action.
• At the same time, the new age media tools today give the marketer enough statistics and marketing tracking and measuring tools to track the complete click, hit, land or miss journey based on which the organizations future viral campaigns can be planned and implemented.

“Planning Your Landing Page / Emailer Viral Marketing Campaign right from stage 1 to have a more systematic tracking approach.”

Lets see, so you have your creative lined up, your HTML and your php or SQL page ready for database management, tracking and your CRM software or your creative marketing agency does the rest of blasting mails across ids.

The real question is, would we still want to rely only on an email blast tool to shout out our company’s important message across our prospects.

Isn’t this what we term or mark as spam most of the time. Yes, they are.

So how do we assess that the target receiving the emails is our target market?

I guess we would find out once we check the metrics and analytics, tracking etc. OR Is it only because our advertising and marketing agencies tells us they are.

Well, if you have picked either of the above answers, then I guess the core message itself has got failed to connect right from the root level.

This is the social era. The power of Peer and influencer’s rule over any aspect of ‘email blasts’ today.

So how do we know whom to target? Wait a minute, the question itself needs to be rephrased here.

Its not whom to target, but whom to connect with.

That’s right, with the power of social media marketing campaigns, social bookmarking tools, blog power, geo and demographics targeted marketing possible today, it becomes more than easy to reach out to a far more better filtered and interested group of right prospect / consumer and not just spam those who are not currently in need of the product. This also helps to reduce their current chances of marking your email id and your brand as spam. With tools like block emails, call ids, spam subject filters, these aspects matters a lot for any Brand, whether they are already massive or gradually growing.

This gives you an opportunity to assess the power of a creative marketing message appeal too. Especially in case of referral viral marketing campaigns.

Today we can track with the right customized social media marketing creative viral campaign tools “who,when,how long,from where”  and to the core of such insightful metrics.

The advanced tools available for market analysis, customer responsiveness research and tracking are powerful enough when applied appropriately to help you connect with the right customer.

So we have now moved from a visibility era and journeyed to the era of reach, connect and finally to the power of real-time ‘leads’.

Well, when you reach the right set of people by connecting with them rather than just targeting them, you have already filtered through your level 1 of sales funnel, haven’t you.

That’s right, the tools of today help us to design a more controlled and sophisticated marketing experience not only for the brand and organization but also for the consumers.

Its always wonderful to reach those who are interested, it not only reduces your business age of sales but also makes creating more such bundle offers and referral programs possible for every group of demographics of consumers and prospects.

What has your experience been with viral marketing campaigns so far. Do share with us here.

Thanks!
