In society today, consumers are bombarded by a myriad of advertising media at home, at work, and even while travelling via public or private transport. Because of this, the modern consumer has developed a wide array of filters in order to ignore much of the advertising that companies spend millions on each year.
There is an easier way of connecting with consumers, however, which bypasses these filters by actually engaging with the audience and generating interest through genuine participation. Rather than simply offering one-directional brand communications, if you broadcast live video via a reputable company like Blue Jeans, you can offer consumers the chance to get involved in what is happening live. This way, consumers can feel like they are part of the action, making a difference and essentially helping to build a brand into what they would like it to become.

Trust is probably the most important aspect of creating a harmonious and efficient workforce.
If employees feel secure and trust you and your company, they will work to ensure it thrives.
There are two stages to success: creating trust and maintaining it.
These must be established through example, with the management setting a standard for honesty and transparency that should be emulated by every member of the workforce.

Think about a major goal you have.
It may be a monetary goal like achieving a six-figure income at the end of the next five years.
It may be to reach international trading status or become an industry expert.
Whatever it is, hold it in your mind, think about it and put all of your focus into it.
Can you truly see yourself in that position, whatever it may be? If you can’t, you need to analyze why that is.
Believe me when I say this: Anything is possible in business. When you hold that as a strong belief, then you’ll always have a base point to fall back to. You can always reassure yourself that you are heading in the right direction and that what you want is possible. Click Here to Read Article …
