    11 May 2012 | 5:02 pm
    For years, African countries have been a dumping ground for outdated electronic equipment, mainly from Europe. Now, rapidly expanding use of computers and mobile phones within Africa is generating more electronic waste--or e-waste--than is imported, according to the United Nations. African countries, however, are seeking to make a silk purse out of the sow's ear that is their e-waste problem. At a meeting convened in Nairobi, Kenya, last month by the UN Environment Program (UNEP) with support from several electronics manufacturers, 18 African governments endorsed a strategy. They intend to…

    The average U.S. household owns 24 different consumer electronic devices, many of which are no longer being used. Some devices end up stashed in a drawer (you know the one). Other obsolete or broken devices -- nearly 2.4 million tons in a year according to the most recent EPA figures -- are tossed into landfills. Electronic waste is considered the fastest-growing portion of the municipal waste stream. And yet, inside these devices are valuable resources including silver, gold, aluminum, copper and titanium that could be reclaimed. San Diego-based startup ecoATM has developed kiosks that can…

    When consumers are buying products, there are typically two things they think about: brand and price. Even if a certain company produces more expensive products, shoppers may still go for that item because the business has a stronger brand. Think of Apple as opposed to other smartphone producers, or food brands like Oreo against the store's generic brand. It's all about filling a role for consumers. If companies can show they understand their ideal customers better than any of their competitors, they will have an easier time capturing sales. "If your company doesn't connect with your target…

The fact is people with vision problems often put down products that they have difficulty reading.

  • Page styles in LibreOffice

    2 Apr 2012 | 11:44 am
    Many users of LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org are familiar with paragraph and character styles. By contrast, page styles are less familiar. However, if you take the time to set up page styles once in a template, the effort can automate your formatting for years in dozens of documents. You’ll find page styles in the same place as the rest of the styles, in the Styles and Formatting floating window available by selecting Format -> Styles and Formatting in the menu or pressing the F11 key. It’s the fourth button from the left in the floating window, between Frame and List styles,…

  • Refuse to be Ignored, Personalize Your Email Campaigns

    Sending prospects or customers emails is relatively cheap, easy, and speedy. So it’s no wonder more than 89.2% of marketing managers say email remains as important or more important in their overall marketing strategy compared to two years ago, according to an EmailVision study. What’s surprising though is most marketers are not personalizing their email campaigns. A Direct Marketing Association analysis shows that today there are more emails arriving in consumers’ inboxes, but that the percentage of emails with personalized content has dropped from 38% to 22%. The email may say…

    Panera Bread Integrates QR Codes into In-Store Promotions If you’ve waited in line at Panera Bread for a hot Panini lately, chances are you’ve seen the banners with QR Codes® that say, “ My job is to make your Panini perfect.” Scan the code with your QR reader enabled smart phone and you’ll be taken to a non-mobile enabled You Tube channel showcasing their Grilled to be Great videos. Lesson learned? Cross media marketing is the rage and Panera Bread has its bread baking, sandwich making, and order taking down to a science, but its QR delivery is still a work in progress.

  • How One Print Error Can Cost a Company or Country Billions (or more)

    Gina Danner
    8 May 2012 | 10:07 am
    To err is human. For the Federal Reserve to err when printing 1.1 billion in redesigned $100 bills led to $110 billion in unusable dollars, which is the equivalent to a tenth of the worldwide U.S. currency. Of course these botch bills can be destroyed over the course of many years, but they still cost the government 12 cents a piece to print, which means the Federal Reserve spent about $120 million printing bills with errors that must be pitched. Cutting Printing Mistakes Can Save a Business Thousands Once the ink hits the paper, there’s no turning back. Printers site that they lose one to…

  • How to Turn that Abandoned Cart into Dollars

    Gina Danner
    1 May 2012 | 3:38 pm
    Internet shopping has increased 51% in the past two years. Today, seven out of 10 internet users shop online. If you’re an e-commerce company, this is all good until you see that e-retailers have lost around $33 billion in revenues because of abandoned carts in the past several years. Statistics indicate that three out of 10 online shoppers abandon their carts – that’s 70 percent. Abandoned carts mean abandoned revenues. Getting someone to almost make a purchase serves no one on the game scorecard of business. Surprisingly only 15% of the top 1000 online retailers are following up with…

  • When Customer Profiling and Stereotyping Are All in the Line of Duty

    Airport security guards are warned not to violate civil rights by profiling passengers. Human Resource recruiters are under watch by the EEOC so they don’t racially profile candidates. And police officers are under constant watchdog scrutiny to prevent future criminal, predictive, or racial profiling. However, Chief Marketing Officers are one of the few professionals who must profile people as part of their jobs. Of course they must follow privacy and disclosure laws, but a successful marketing manager can and should profile customers with the intent of selling them appropriate products and…

    By the time you read this, I will have changed every online profile I can find from “businessman, writer, and public speaker” to “businessman and content creator.” This refined tagline is more descriptive of what I actually do and easier to say when someone asks what I do. It’s about understanding my current position and shifting that positioning so the world has a better idea what it is I do on a daily basis. Position and positioning Before I start throwing buzz words around, let’s settle on a couple of definitions. For our purposes, “position”…

  • Why disruptive innovation means telling people it is time to change

    JimRaffel
    14 May 2012 | 9:15 am
    Telling people what they want to hear and what they already believe to be true will not inspire action. Promoting new thinking and ideas requires you to tell folks what they may not want to hear or even believe. Selling a new concept Think about the early days of social media. Ten or even 15 years ago, not very many people thought blogs and online chat (which is what Twitter really is) would change the way we communicate both personally and professionally. Sure Twitter, Facebook and WordPress are only tools; but they are tools that quite frankly changed the world. Your product may not have as…

    I just returned from the Successful Online Business Conference (SOBCon) and I have far too many takeaways to even try and share them all in one post. Instead, on the drive home today I searched for the most significant takeaway; the one that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Big Hairy Audacious Obstacles Perhaps you are familiar with the term Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAG). The folks who attend SOBCon have achieved and are striving for BHAGs. I was struck by the fact that most of the goals in the room are focused on a higher purpose. Sure most of us are there to figure out how to…

  • You can’t scale yourself, but you can scale a brand

    You are difficult to scale. A brand you create, on the other hand, is fairly easy to scale. Don’t get me wrong. It’s cool having a blog with my name on it, but you come here to read me, not guest posts. On the other hand, those who visit the ColorMetrix blog are looking for information about color, color verification and color process control. I don’t need to (and I don’t) write all the posts there.

    Finding an innovative problem solver The trick to finding an innovative problem solving piece of technology is to watch trends in your chosen industry. For example, right now I’d love to be a salesperson for a company making high definition, low-energy flat panels displays of a size suited for mobile devices. In hindsight had I been paying attention, I could have told you who the players in that segment would be 10 years ago. They were investing research and development dollars in that technology and displaying it as leading edge (but not ready for sale) technology at industry events I…

A perfect blend of style and substance to enjoy a little 2 min break from the real world on a Friday afternoon… This advert for the Guardian’s open journalism, screened for the first time on 29 February 2012, imagines how we might cover the story of the three little pigs in print and online.

    I hope almost everyone interested in fashion or beauty in this world knows this charming and incredible woman. Even if you don’t know her name or anything about her you had to notice the famous posters, paintings of her sitting and smoking a cigarette wearing a LBD and pearl necklace and looking like an angel. All her famous and awarded movies influenced the fashion world – naming only few: Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany’s or My Fair Lady. Her name was connected with Hubert de Givenchy, wearing his clothing during Sabrina and in the world famous opening scene at…

  • Water Based Discharge Screen Printing

    gio
    15 May 2012 | 3:07 am
    Discharge screen printing is a water based process that allows for printing onto dark coloured garments with light coloured inks, while maintaining an extremely “soft hand” finish offered by water based inks. Water based screen printing is limited in that it is not well suited for printing onto dark coloured garments. Discharge ink differs in that it is specialty ink that works by removing the dye from cotton fibers in a garment at a certain temperature, then replaces the dye with the desired ink, thus allowing for printing water based discharge ink onto dark garments.  Discharge screen…

  • Eco-Friendly Water Based Screen Printing

    gio
    14 May 2012 | 3:04 am
    When it comes to screen printing ink, there are two types: plastisol and water based. Plastisol is the industry standard and the default ink used by commercial printers. It uses a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) base, as opposed to water based ink, which is exactly what its name suggests, a water based ink with pigments suspended within it. The limitation associated with water based inks is that you cannot print onto dark coloured garments, but they are excellent for printing vibrant colours onto lighter coloured garments. Furthermore, the print result is affected by the colour of the garment. For…

Well…if you do then maybe you should not wear the red shoes as well. Black, white or the best choice will be the nude pumps or wedges – anything what makes you feel comfortable but also not destroying the outfit! For someone it can be too much wearing only red, especially if it is not his or hers favourite colour. Usually people are used to wear only one red part of the outfit – t-shirt,…
