Social Media and Online Casinos: It’s a win-win!
There is no doubt that Social Media networks have helped many enterprises – small or big – advertise their products and services, bring in new customers, and of course communicate with them. In 2016, it is estimated that there will be around 2.13 billion social network users around the world with Facebook alone’s online casino users reaching 1 million in 2013. And that number will keep rising in the upcoming years. One of the industries that has benefitted and continues to benefit from social media exposure is online casinos. A number of interesting dynamics interplay in the interaction between social media and online gaming. We have put together some tips and examples to share how online casinos can leverage social media to develop an effective marketing strategy. Social media channels are ‘important’ for online casinos The first thing that must be kept in mind is that in social media, engagement and communication with the customers is extremely important, especially on Facebook. Most people who enjoy playing online games on their smart phones or computers want to learn about new games or services.

No Built-In Ad-Blocking for Microsoft Edge
Microsoft denied reports about its plan on building an ad-blocking feature into its Internet browser, the Microsoft Edge. It’s contrary to an initial report by ZDNet that claimed to have a photo from the Build conference showing a presentation slide with the new feature being mentioned. Jacob Rossi, who’s an engineer on the Edge browser team, tweeted that: “We are not building a native ad blocker within MS Edge, but we will support third party ad blockers like AdBlock and AdBlock Plus.” According to Rossi, the presentation slide was misinterpreted. The presentation was referring to the feedback requests coming from Windows Insiders. These Insiders are beta users. The slide addressed some issues on the new OS and the integrated browser and suggested third-party extensions. Earlier this month, the company released its latest version of Edge. It’s now supporting add-ons. This new feature is a promise that company made in May 2015. However, there were only three extensions available. But the company did promise that more of them will come. These extensions will come from outside developers and vendors. Some Internet browsers have already gone so far into making a built-in ad-blocking technology. But most browsers do not. They still...
Social Networking for SMBs: Go Beyond Facebook and Twitter
Looking at the social media strategy of small and medium sized businesses, startups, public companies, and social organizations, one might be surprised given the diverse marketing campaigns undertaken by these enterprises. On a second thought, you might not be surprised as there has to be some sort of difference considering their business size, goals, and industry type. However, one thing that is definitely surprising is that a lot of SMBs (small and medium businesses) don’t go beyond Facebook and Twitter. Periscope, Blab, StumbleUpon anyone? What about Disqus? Most SMB marketers will give you a look that says – “What has that got to do with us?” So what could be the reason for ignoring other social media platforms? Lack of time Lack of knowledge Lack of resources Or all of the above Now, whatever your reason may be of not going beyond FB and Twitter, you can solve it by identifying other social platforms related to your industry/market and which can potentially give you better leads than Facebook and Twitter. In this article, I have identified some promising social media platforms (other than Facebook & Twitter) pertaining to different industries. Based on your social media marketing needs, these platforms...
Tesla Model 3 Received More than 278,000 Reservations
Tesla Motors is known for making sporty and very expensive electric cars. But, just recently, the company unveiled a more affordable model called Model 3. After its introduction to the world, the company received an initial flurry of orders. As a result, Tesla Motors may need to raise more cash to deliver the new model on time. The ambitious plan of the company’s Chief Executive Elon Musk is to launch its first mass-market car late next year. It will boost the company’s annual production by 2020. Anyone can make a reservation for the Tesla Model 3 with a price tag of $35,000. However, if you’re a latecomer, you may need to wait in a long queue. Within just five days since the company has opened its reservation, Tesla has already received more than 278,000 pre-orders. Even if you have already signed up, you may need to wait longer because the production of the Model 3 will start until the second half of 2017. During the unveiling of its new electric car, Elon Musk asked the audience of why his company is doing it and why it’s making electric vehicles. Does it matter? Tesla wants to speed up the transition...
