Sun Cellular sucks again?

March 15, 2008 · Filed Under Internet and Technology, People Around Me · 1 Comment 

I did blog around a week or two ago that the service and the network of Sun Cellular seems to have improved. I was able to easily call my family and friends who used Sun and loading was a breeze. I was even able to enjoy clear connections and had a distraction free talk time.

Yesterday I tried to load my account with the 1 month unlimited texting plan, the one with the free 4 hour calls. I couldn’t get it to load. I still can’t load it right now. I need the credits today since my previous plan expired today and I’m going to my friends birthday so I need to make some calls. Ugh. I hope it works out fine later today.

Frustrated over NWA.com’s website design.

March 15, 2008 · Filed Under Internet and Technology, Random Ramblings · Comment 

You might notice that I have changed the theme design of the blog. I was using a dreary white one earlier and it wasn’t only me who noticed. Some friends did come up to me to mention that my blog seem to have lost color and is looking a bit gloomy. I decided that although I did enjoy that white and grey one, it was just too plain and quite unappealing. I decided to look for a better design and I was quite lucky that I found the perfect theme for me.

Website Design is a tricky process. Sure it is easy to whip up some design over at Photoshop and find someone to code it for you (or if you don’t have the budget you can go scour the internet for free themes) but the difficulty lies in determining whether it suites your site. Choosing designs for personal blogs might be easier but for some websites, how people an easily find what they need is crucial. If they have spent ten minutes already trying to find where they can find a specific product or where they can reach you, chances are you will lose that customer due to frustration with your sites actual usability for its target market.

Earlier I was browsing the site for Northwest Airlines because Tita Myrna was interested in adding her email to avail of the 1,000 bonus miles that NWA.com mentioned in their newsletter to her. I’ve been using the Internet for a long time already and believe me, I have never been frustrated with other sites compared to NWA.com. Finding the section where to add her email address was a serious pain. I’m not even sure if the section where I added it was the correct one. Seriously their site needs to be more user-friendly especially since some of their World Perks members are the elderly. If they got me confused, believe me other would most likely be confused.

It is important for your website to rank well on the search engines especially if you want probable clients to find your company. Search Engine Optimization has been widely used by many companies and while I do agree that it is important, I really do feel that you’d need to have a website that is geared toward your clients. Meaning the first thing a company must make sure of would be the actual usability and functionality of the site to their clients. No matter how good your SEO Marketing campaign is, it will not help you acquire more customers simply because they cannot get what they need from your site.

Learn to balance your design with your marketing campaigns and you will see that it will work better in converting those leads into actual sales. If you don’t have a dedicated team that can balance both for your company you can try looking for web design and seo marketing services from web design teams such as Nvisolutions.com. It is better to spend on a fully functioning website that will help improve your profits in the long run.

Try airfare search engines and save your time.

March 12, 2008 · Filed Under Internet and Technology, Travel and Recreation · Comment 

This coming summer vacation many people have started planning their trips all over the country as well as trips to the US and other neighboring Asian countries. With all these travelers around, many airlines give out promotions that enable individuals to find a cheap flight toward their destinations. This certainly helps people to save up on their funds and use it for their relaxation and enjoyment. With lower airfares they can also bring more family members with them thus making it easier for families to enjoy vacations without having to worry about ticket prices.

If you are tasked by your family to find cheap tickets for your travel it would be quite difficult to personally go to all the airline company’s ticketing offices to check up and read on their promotions. It is also time consuming to check each individual website for their existing promotions and then comparing them to each other. That is why websites that enable you to search for each airline’s destinations and seats available then comparing them with each other to give you the best rates possible is a great help in having a hassle free trip. It also saves you the pain of paying such a high fee because they help you find the best priced tickets that fits right into your budget.

Get thrifty with coupons like me.

March 3, 2008 · Filed Under Blogging and Technology, Internet and Technology · Comment 

Hahaha, eversince I started doing online shopping (yay for merchants accepting international shipping!) I’ve been scouring the internet for various coupons that really help in getting my expenses lower. With the exchange rates we have, I really need coupons to offset some of my costs since shopping online can be a bit addicting. Hehe. There are my coupons around like Sports Authority coupons and you can find more if you search the net. I find domain coupons also very useful especially since I tend to get domains when I have funds in my account. :)

Inquisition type leads does not generate possible clients for your business.

March 3, 2008 · Filed Under College Life and DLSU, Internet and Technology · Comment 

Back in our business classes professors and lecturers discussed the importance of sales lead generation to businesses because companies rely on its sales and profits to be able to continue its existence and its service. Although there are many organizations that offer sales lead generation services, some of them employ sales lead strategies that make people feel they are being interrogated rather than being courteously asked if they are interested on the services that your company is offering. More often these interrogative discussions lead your company losing a potential client rather than finding one.

Do check out LeadDogs.com and read around their services. You might find it enlightening and informative.
