Research and Markets: Mobile Marketing Strategies and Emerging Opportunities in the BRIC Countries

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/djtj8k/mobile_marketing_s) has announced the addition of the "Mobile Marketing Strategies and Emerging Opportunities in the BRIC Countries" report to their offering.

These initiatives have become popular among businesses as they have a broad reach, the ability to monitor responses, and can offer location-based promotions. As such, companies across a variety of industries have started developing mobile marketing strategies with increasing marketing budget allocations.

The aim of mobile marketing varies across different industries, although the main focus is to develop promotions that target specific consumer groups and launch new service offerings. Mobile marketing in the BRIC countries currently takes the form of mass market campaigns that target customers through bulk messages.

However, this is expected to change as marketers start utilizing location-based services, which will be driven by the increased penetration of smartphones and improved mobile infrastructure to enable accurate and high-bandwidth services.

Research and Markets: Asian Animation Industry: Strategies Trends & Opportunities 2012

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/svs5mk/asian_animation_in) has announced the addition of the "Asian Animation Industry: Strategies Trends & Opportunities 2012" report to their offering.

The usual procedure is for pre-production (preparing the script, storyboard, and exposure sheets) to be done in the United States or other headquarter countries, after which, the package is sent to Asia for production (drawing cels, colouring by hand, inking, painting, and camera work). The work is sent back to the U.S. or other headquarter country for post-production (film editing, colour timing, and sound). Offshore animation has led to the creating and nurturing of a local industry, as an infrastructure is built up, equipment is put into place, and skills are transferred.

An emerging trend in the Asian animation industry is the increasing focus towards production of local animation content for television as well as production of animated movies. An increasing number of Asian animation studios are giving importance to owning and protecting animation content by investing in intellectual property protection mechanisms.

Pages: 539, Tables: 36, Figures: 154

CURRENT STATE OF THE INDIAN ANIMATION INDUSTRY

There is a considerable increase in the 2D and 3D animation outsourcing to India. Due to the extremely competitive climate as well as the global slow-down, some of the large studios in the US have implemented large amounts of layoffs of animators and artists. India is slowly emerging as an alternative to Korea, Philippine and Taipei for animation outsourcing. India is also emerging as a post-production hub for animation. Post production involves a lot of ink, paint and compositing and scanning work, which is the labor intensive part of the entire process of animation and requires less skill. Thus we can see that the animation industry in India is following a similar evolutionary part as the software industry. In the early part of the evolution of the India software industry, it was the low value jobs which were shifted to India. Over time it is projected that more and more high value jobs would be outsourced to India. For low value post-production works, it is easier for a studio in the US to outsource its post production work as probably nothing is going to go wrong. India has one of the lowest labor rates, which makes it an attractive destination for animation outsourcing.

A Business Of One: 5 Strategies For Successful Freelancing - Forbes

Guest post written by Fabio Rosati

Fabio Rosati is CEO of Elance.

Fabio Rosati

For years, Americans have been subjected to a steady drumbeat of doom-and-gloom news about employment and the state of the economy. Scratch below the surface, and you’ll find a revolution in the job market that’s quickly changing the way people find and complete work.

Just a generation ago, a typical employee could land a job right out of college with a big company, and reasonably expect to stay there for his or her entire career. Contrast that with this startling statistic from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: as of 2010, the average time an American worker stays at a job is less than four and a half years.

What’s more, the old way of matching available jobs with qualified employees is riddled with inefficiencies. Companies are limited to employees who live close enough to commute, and workers are forced to adapt their unique skills to whatever opportunities they happen to find in the local help-wanted ads. Employees and employers alike end up trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

As the idea of a pension and gold watch at retirement fades away, an increasing number of workers are taking matters into their own hands by becoming a “business of one.” By declaring their independence – and joining the growing number of freelance workers – they can match specific skill sets with an endless global pool of opportunities. Independent workers are offered the flexibility of working on their own terms, setting schedules and controlling workloads that fit their lifestyles.

None of this would have been possible just a few years ago. Freelancers used to rely on exchanging business cards at networking events, putting up flyers at local shops and sending out postcards to nearby businesses. “Freelancers 1.0” marketed themselves locally and their reach was limited to how far they could drive in a day. Workflow could be inconsistent, and billing was a constant nightmare. The risk/reward profile of leaving steady employment kept all but the most intrepid workers from striking out on their own.

Today, the opportunities for independent workers have exploded. With a few keystrokes, freelancers can build a professional online presence and connect with business opportunities anywhere, at any time. Contractors can set up virtual storefronts and “offices” that impress potential clients with project portfolios and enthusiastic reviews from satisfied customers, even if their real office is a spare bedroom or local coffee shop. And all the paperwork and red tape that used to give freelancers fits is now handled automatically by many online services, freeing contractors up to focus on growing their businesses.

But as with new companies of all sizes, building a successful “business of one” takes time and careful planning. Relying on the Internet for business leads opens contractors up to a world of opportunity, but also a world of competition. The most successful freelancers are the ones who stand out from the crowd.  Here are a few tips if you’re looking to get started:

Every hiring decision is a personal one, so make sure your personality comes through when you contact potential employers. You are much more likely to be hired if you’re enthusiastic about why the position is right for you. At the end of every job is another person who wants to know what it’s like to work with you, so don’t make them guess about who you are.

The traditional resume is dying. Talented professionals can’t do justice to their skills on a single sheet of paper, which is why many are turning to digital portfolios that go well beyond the written word. Free sites abound that allow you to showcase your portfolio and highlight your expertise; you’re a three-dimensional talent, so stop relying on a two-dimensional resume.

In the past, freelancers relied on word of mouth and reference letters to land new business. The Internet works in much the same way, except that everything is magnified. Contingent, project-based work allows freelancers to assemble a varied work history with verifiable feedback from past clients. It’s never been easier to show off your track record of meeting or exceeding your clients’ needs.

One of the myths of the Internet is that if you build a Web presence, people will come.  As a “business of one” you can’t sit back passively; instead, be proactive and contact the job poster to ensure you are considered for the positions you want.  Most employment sites allow you to contact the job poster directly to show your interest and explain why you are a great fit for the position.

Embrace the new job marketplace

The Web is a tailor-made platform for freelance workers. Online employment sites effectively connect contractors with companies in need of specific talents, allowing freelancers to secure a relatively steady stream of work, while making billing easy.  Freelancers can also gain a real-time view of market trends, the skills that are most in-demand and the competition they face.  These efficiencies mean less time marketing, and more time working.  And as the online employment marketplace matures, independent workers can find demand for practically any white-collar skill.

If the old way of working feels out of date in today’s digital world, it may be time for you to take the leap and become a “business of one.”  The opportunities are limitless and while you’ll still have to work hard to gain an edge, the tools to help you succeed have never been more accessible.

Market Opportunities and Business Strategies in Private Label Branding in India - Yahoo Finance

NEW YORK, May 29, 2012  /PRNewswire/ --  Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Market Opportunities and Business Strategies in Private Label Branding in India

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0803933/Market-Opportunities-and-Business-Strategies-in-Private-Label-Branding-in-India.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Retail

Summary

The market for private label products in India is still in its nascent stages and accounted for just XX% of the overall retail market in 2011. The Indian retail market is highly fragmented and primarily consists of unorganized outlets such as 'kirana' stores. It is expected that organized retail is going to undergo a period of growth over the forecast period. Retailers entered the Indian private labels market by providing staples such as food and beverage products. The positive growth potential of these categories convinced many retailers to enter the personal care market in 2009. The main growth strategy of Indian retailers is to provide consumers with national brands as a trust exercise; as such brands provide a level of quality and assurance to consumers, who are then offered private labels as a discounted alternative. The Future Group recruited national sports icon, Sachin Tendulkar, to create a sub-brand named 'Sach'. In this way, the Group expects to attain national recognition with some consumers and an emotional connection with others. This is the first instance of private label product endorsement in the Indian market. Growth in private labels has resulted in several conflicts between retailers and national brands, owing to issues such as margins, displays and shelf space. Retailers are more inclined to push the sales of private label products as they offer greater profit margins.

Key Highlights

• The market for private label products in India is still in its early stages and comprised XX% of the overall retail market in 2011. • Private label penetration began in the mid-2000s when retailers established organized retail format stores across the country. • Organized retail occupies a small percentage of the overall retail market in India. Traditional forms of retail, such as neighborhood 'kirana' stores, dominate the market. • The most widely used private label products were cereals, pulses and spices. This was followed by packaged food products and fruits and vegetables.• In 2011, Spencer's Retail revamped its business strategy to focus on the young, urban population. In these terms they are repositioning themselves as an affordable, luxury retailer. • The Future Group launched its new private label brand, 'Sach', in 2009 with the Sach branded toothbrush, which was followed by Sach branded toothpaste in March 2010. The group tied up with the national sports icon, Sachin Tendulkar, to co-create this sub-brand.

Market Opportunities and Business Strategies in Private Label Branding in India

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0803933/Market-Opportunities-and-Business-Strategies-in-Private-Label-Branding-in-India.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Retail

Synopsis

The report provides top-level market analysis, information and insights into the Indian private label products market, including:• Current, historic and forecast values for the Indian private label market• Comprehensive, country-specific analysis of market attractiveness covering key macroeconomic trends plus benchmarking with other key global and Asian private label markets• Detailed analysis of the key drivers for private label in India • Detailed analysis of the challenges affecting the private label market in India• Detailed analysis of retailer strategies by product categories and by retail format• Case studies of the top private label retailers in India

Summary

The market for private label products in India is still in its nascent stages and accounted for just XX% of the overall retail market in 2011. The Indian retail market is highly fragmented and primarily consists of unorganized outlets such as 'kirana' stores. It is expected that organized retail is going to undergo a period of growth over the forecast period. Retailers entered the Indian private labels market by providing staples such as food and beverage products. The positive growth potential of these categories convinced many retailers to enter the personal care market in 2009. The main growth strategy of Indian retailers is to provide consumers with national brands as a trust exercise; as such brands provide a level of quality and assurance to consumers, who are then offered private labels as a discounted alternative. The Future Group recruited national sports icon, Sachin Tendulkar, to create a sub-brand named 'Sach'. In this way, the Group expects to attain national recognition with some consumers and an emotional connection with others. This is the first instance of private label product endorsement in the Indian market. Growth in private labels has resulted in several conflicts between retailers and national brands, owing to issues such as margins, displays and shelf space. Retailers are more inclined to push the sales of private label products as they offer greater profit margins.

Summary

Private labels accounted for a market share of XX% in Brazil in 2007. This figure grew by XX% during the review period to reach a market share of XX% in 2011. The global financial crisis led to consumers becoming more value-conscious. Brazilian consumers have become more willing to try private label products at the expense of branded products in order to save on their grocery expenditure.

The growing share of organised retail in Brazil meant that retailers continued to improve on the quality of their private label products and started marketing them between the leading and discounted brands. While the low cost of private labels continued to be the key driving factor, manufacturers started entering the premium market by offering high value products. Over the forecast period, private labels are expected to record positive growth and be driven by consumer demand for high-value products.

There is an increasing trend of collaborative product development in the Brazilian market. As a part of this trend, companies are involving consumers in product development activity. Some of Brazil's key private label product categories include paper napkins, paper towels, alcoholic drinks, carpet cleaner and disinfectant.

Small Business Strategies: Slow summer can be opportunity - USA Today

Memorial Day, the unofficial kickoff of summer, is here.

Earl Neikirk, AP

An 8-year-old rides his bike though a fountain in Bristol, Va., in this summer 2010 file photo.

Some small businesses, especially those in the travel or hospitality industries, will be having their busy season.

For the rest of us, summer can mean the doldrums: Fewer customers. Prospects out on vacation. Lower income. And a house full of kids and visitors to top it all off.

What's a small-business owner to do?

You could sit by a pool and drown your sorrows in a margarita. (I'll take mine on the rocks with salt, thank you very much.) But if you can't afford that, I've got six steps to help grow a more successful small business this summer.

1. Make a splash on social media. You've been meaning to learn how to use one of the many social-media sites — such as Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter — for your business, but you've just been too busy.

Use these slower summer months to spend some time figuring out which ones are right for you. Be sure to check out some of the many tools that make ongoing management of your social media activities easier and faster, such as HootSuite or Roost.

2. Network like crazy. All those backyard barbecues, softball games, and pool parties you get invited to are potential networking events, especially when they involve more than immediate family and friends.

If you're not getting many invitations, check out what's going on in your community. Try going to a Meetup group, Chamber of Commerce mixers, even neighborhood chili cook-off. Be sure to bring your business cards, mingle, and have a good elevator pitch ready so people you meet can easily remember what you do.

3. Update — or launch — your website. If you're like me, your website is outdated, but you haven't had the time to freshen it up.

Perhaps you don't have a website at all.

Summer is a good time to give your website a facelift. It doesn't have to be extensive, but make sure you have all the newest — and correct — information. Perhaps you want to add some e-commerce functionality, so customers can buy directly from you. And check to see that it looks good on mobile devices, too.

4. Turn those business cards into gold. I know you've got a stack of business cards from people you've met, but they're not doing you any good lying around your desk.

Yes, I know they take time to enter into a database. But, hey, it's summer. It's the perfect opportunity to get all these contacts into something like Salesforce or PipelineDeals. At least enter their contact info into your digital address book in Microsoft Outlook or Gmail.

If you have a ton of cards, like I do, you might want to buy a digital business card reader. They work fairly well now.

5. Start a simple e-mail newsletter. I'm a huge fan; I've got a monthly newsletter of my own with business tips.

They're easy to create and manage, and they keep your name as well as any specials or news in front of prospects and customers. Once you have names in a database or Microsoft Excel file, it's easy to import them into a simple newsletter program.

Or you can just enter the info into the e-mail newsletter service.

We use Emma, but other options include include Constant Contact; Vertical Response; and a free or inexpensive one that many small-business owners use, such as Mail Chimp. If you're very ambitious, you could even write 12 newsletters in summer and have monthly newsletters ready for the whole year.

6. Tackle a project. We all have a wish list of projects we would like to take care of someday.

You may have some new products or services in mind to develop, a new marketing campaign, organizing inventory, or cleaning out a back room to turn into an office.

Summer is a good time to take care of at least one of these. You'll feel a real sense of accomplishment if you do.

Of course, summer is also a good time for recharging your batteries. So maybe sitting by the pool with a margarita isn't such a bad idea.
