Here are some wonderful methods that can enhance your marketing on social sites and bring expected output:

Create Profiles on Targeted Social Media Sites

Today, marketing professionals are creating their profiles on every social media channel available to reach as many people as possible. Unfortunately, they fail in their strategy and with that mindset and could not reach to their actual audience. That is why it is essential a look at your buyer personas while selecting any social media channels for launching a jewelry brand then you won’t necessarily need a LinkedIn profile; the same as Instagram will not work if you are thinking to promote your surveillance services.

Influencer Campaign

Influencer Campaign is much-having influencers who are famous bloggers, tweeters, video makers and such to promote your brand. It is considered as one of the most effective and powerful techniques for doing social media marketing. It creates the strongest form of traffic, it not only creates hundreds of thousands of visitor, but it also has a very high brand building and conversation rate since it is through a trusted referral. Some marketing experts pay the influencers directly to advertise or sponsor a conversation, some give out free units, and some just give out first dibs to new services. Here, you need to make sure that the blogger discloses the relationship to their readers to not get in trouble.  Finally, your product or service will be famous for this to work well since influencers are giving their reputation on the line and are not going to promote random commodities.

Social media listening

Social media listening helps you to track all mentions of your company. By using this technique one can quickly respond to all complaints. And, when people ask questions about your product or service, you can easily answer them and get more sales. Social listening is also used to keep track of important keywords that can include the names of your competitors. It can help you analyze your competitors marketing strategies and find even more sales opportunities.

An additional feature of the social listening tools is sentiment analysis that lets you see if the comments being made about your business online are positive, negative or neutral in real time.

Treat Each Channel as an Individual Entity

Treat each social channel as a separate entity. There can be content that is spread across all platforms – for example, in case your business was acquired by a global company, it is news you want to share across the board, but you need to make changes in your strategy according to the audience for that channel. Take care of your follower demographic on each channel to publish content that appeals to them.

No other marketing strategy is as effective as social media marketing for e-commerce or any online business. It delivers consistent, scalable, quality leads and customers from day one and can supplement promotional marketing effectively.

Difference between Virtual and Augmented Reality

In the contemporary world, Virtual and Augmented Reality are two of the most popular technologies. They are the two primary factors that can change the way you look at the world. Though they are well-known worldwide, the differences between them are not clear at all. The terms are confusing, and sometimes people think both as the same.

Virtual Reality: Creation of an Imaginary World

Virtual Reality is basically the creation of the world that is not real but, seems real. We can understand Virtual Reality as the creation of a 3D environment. 3D simulates the real world, and users can interact with it by wearing a VR helmet or goggles similar to Oculus Rift. The virtual world is immersive and fully computer generated.

Augmented Reality: Blend of the Digital and Real World

Augmented reality is a blend of the digital and real world that makes the existing reality more meaningful.  Augmented Reality mainly calls for the integration of digital information with the environment of the user environment in real time. It makes use of our current reality to overlay new information on top of it, and then allow the user to make more sense out of the present environment. Augmented reality can also be said as an enhanced version of reality created by using technology to add digital information on an image of something.

Major Difference between AR and VR

Virtual Reality

  • Virtual Reality presents a computer-generated world, where the user sees only an artificial recreation, in this condition user loses contact with the real environment.
  • We obtain the VR experience with the digital 3D world with aids such as VR glasses, headset
  • In order to get a better virtual reality experience, one should have a more powerful computer
  • Virtual Reality isolates a user from the real world and creates a world that is completely fabricated
  • We can see, feel and hear the virtual world
  • The major utilization of VR is found in industrial applications, training, 3D games, property marketing, and much more
  • Virtual Reality creations include 360-degree images, 360-degree videos, and fully created 3D worlds

Augmented Reality

  • Augmented Reality enhances reality by adding digital information to it, in this world, the user is connected with the real environment. AR allows the user to make interaction with the “augmented” objects and stay with the real world at the same time
  • AR is easier to access, and we need any external hardware like a smartphone, tablet, head-up display, holography system, or augmented reality glasses such as the Microsoft Hololens are required for this experience
  • With AR, virtual components such as digital images, sensations, and graphics are added to the real world that creates a new layer of interaction
  • AR provides games, interior furnishing planners, navigation apps, workshop instructions, and more
  • The first AR display DEEP FRAME was presented at the CES; it enabled augmented reality WITHOUT glasses

It is clear now that Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality and two different concepts. While Augmented Reality is for real world, Virtual Reality is for content that does not play any role in our current reality. Augmented Reality adds more meaningful information to our experiences in real time, while Virtual Reality has its own advantages. Sometimes, people debate on the scope and potential of both techs. Here, we should remain neutral. Both technologies are very compelling and have distinct uses as well as positive points. AR and Virtual Reality both evolve and hence are not competing with each other but complementing technological sphere.

Indian Real Estate & Modi Government : impact of numerous implementations within five years

Modi government always tries to initiate the amazing transformations in each segment, and real estate is not an exception. The government has been coming up with innovative revolution during the last four-and-half years. It is the fact that building a positive image is not everyone’s cup of tea, but the government went in all way in these years in order to create a history. The implementation of the real estate law and the benami property law are the perfect examples to show the government’s intent to achieve that goal. And, the note ban move was another step in that direction.

In contemporary Indian politics, demonetization is considered as one of the effective steps taken by the government.  It curbed the use of black money in this sector. Because of demonetization, the avenues of escape through real estate, for those who were making a profit through corruption, have been blocked. It has also stopped the utilization of unaccounted money in the sector, boosting the level of transparency in a sector that has taken a severe image beating in the past over a variety of issues.  Another initiative of the government is GST. The GST on real estate has been reduced to 8% to make housing at an affordable range and 12% for other under-construction homes. The GST rate on diverse construction materials has also been decreased to 18% from 28%. From major amendments to bring changes in old Acts, from a decisive step to infrastructure growth it is clear that the Modi government set the stage for Indian real estate to flourish in the long-term.

Though apart from the positive output, people are not satisfied and thinking these decisions wrong. And, the professionals in real estate, they had to suffer a lot due to these two and other implementations.  While in the Modi regime, where the industry bared the brunt of demonetization, RERA and GST there are numerous advantages as well. Within the ambit of the overarching PMAY, a Technology Sub-Mission was established to facilitate the adoption of innovative, sustainable, green and disaster-resilient technologies and building materials for speedier quality construction of houses at a lower price. The government’s focal point is towards a real estate future with sustainable development and advanced technology empowering the housing and construction industry sector.  Recently, with an aim to bring the best Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri launched the Global Housing Technology Challenge among stakeholders.

To sum up, it can be said that there is not a single doubt, that the ruling party took a multi-modal approach for the complete growth of infrastructure in the last five years. Amidst new trends emerging in residential real estate, the last few years have experienced the sector held to ransom by numerous problems including stalled or delayed projects, a massive pile-up of unsold stock across cities, property prices that are not reasonable for the largest part of the population, and the ongoing credit squeeze on developers.

Mumbai Ranks 16th as the Most Expensive Prime Residential Property Market

Mumbai ranks on 16th in the list of the most expensive prime residential property market on the global level. When it comes to the price rise, Indian luxury home markets remained low on growth chart with Delhi gaining 1.4%, Bangalore 1.1%, and Mumbai 0.3%, according to the Knight Frank’s Prime International Residential Index. Mumbai, Gateway of India is the only Indian city to feature in the global top 20 list of expensive prime residential markets recorded in The Wealth Report 2019. The index is prepared based on four major indicators including wealth, investments, lifestyle and future.

Mumbai while as the most expensive prime real estate market of the country, still stacks well against many other markets. It will purchase ten times space as in Monaco and more than three times more space as in London and New York. While Dubai allows people to about 50% more space as in Mumbai. The good news is that prices have corrected marginally over the last one year enabling comparably higher space in the town.

This ranking is based on the affordability of prime residential properties in a specific town. For instance, in Mumbai, around $1 million  can buy a property of about 92 square meters, while in Monaco that tops the list of most expensive cities, the same amount can buy 16 square meters of space.

Global Ranking

Manila is on the top in the list with the highest price appreciation of 11.1 percent last year. Edinburgh (Scotland) is in the second position with a 10.6 percent rise. Berlin and Munich, two cities in German, took the third and fourth positions, respectively, followed by Buenos Aires, the capital city of the Argentine capital in the fifth rank.  The report also shows that Bangalore will lead the UHNWIs growth forecast at 40 percent, while at the same time, Mumbai and Delhi will grow by approx 38% in the next five years forecast. In the top 5 ‘cities of the future’ Bangalore is the first followed by Hangzhou, Stockholm, Cambridge, and Boston.

The report identifies top cities across the world that will support wealth creation including innovation indicators, wealth forecasts, and economic growth and those aspects that improve a city’s progressive prospects, like infrastructure. Termed as the ‘Future Cities’ of the world, they demonstrate characteristics that will propel wealth creation and also future property investment.  Leading this table is the city of Bangalore that is expected to see a UHWNIs growth of 40% in the next five years.

The previous two seasons took place in Georgia and this visibly is a pretty big departure. The next up the list is a promising-looking-eight episode French Science fiction series Osmosis. Talking about Osmosis, it revolves around an app that does the task of deciding love for people and then manipulate their memories like data.

If that wasn’t enough, there is another surprise element for the users.

To start with, it is presented by Tim Miller. For all those who don’t know he is of the Deadpool fame. Accompanying him is David Fincher ( Seven, Gone Girl, The Social Network).

Given the buzz generated, it is surely bound to take the audience on a great ride of entertainment.

Not many know but some of the imported shows of Netflix get a week-by-week single-episode release treatment. Romance is a Bonus Book and Patriot Act are getting week-to-week releases. Both the contents did pretty well that sparked the need for Season 2.

Having said that, it would be wrong to say that it’s all about inclusions. There are many titles that would actually be leaving Netflix too. Yeah! Don’t be surprised if they are your favourites. Titles like The Breakfast Club and Pirates of the Caribbean: At world’s end are leaving Netflix. Don’t worry, they are cheap on Amazon or YouTube. Apart from this, many other seasons are now coming to Netflix.

All these announcements and the inclusions, make up the reason of March being an exciting month for streaming on Netflix and obviously for the users and the fan base.
