Create Impressive Website Design with CSS3

CSS3 is used in organizing the style and layout of Web pages. It is the latest standard in the CSS series. CSS3 offers a wide variety of new trends to make an impact with your web designs. With many exciting new functions and features, CSS can be used as a powerful tool in website designing and development. A CSS3 refers to the technical stipulation of a layout. It ensures that a web page will appear precisely the way the website developer has specified.

As a website designer we have to look into the capabilities of CSS3 and need to make the most of it. The basic approach of CSS3 in web designing is to make the web page user friendly by removing loads of complications from it. The changes that CSS3 has brought into the website development market are quite amazing. Using CSS3 can speed up the process of website design and development and also speed up your web site.

Using CSS3 to your Advantage

Keep all the things side apart, here are some advantages of CSS3 for you:

1. Better search engine results:

With CSS3, you can keep your HTML code much cleaner which in turn helps search engine crawler in getting the real content from your site very easily. You can also put any content anywhere in your web page and no longer each individual page have to be simplified to replicate the new style. By using this website design technique you will make much greater consistency throughout the site easily.

2. Lightweight coding:

In the field of website development, no one likes to wait for anything to come. This condition also applies in loading of web pages. When a website page takes a lot of time to load, generally users leave that page. By using CSS3, web pages can be made lighter which will allow the site to load faster. As table layout format is not used in CSS3, the sites acquire less memory and load faster.

3. Accessibility and usability:

In website designing you have to make it understandable that the content of the site must be validated in all formats of the browsers. A web designer has better control over a website by using CSS3. CSS3 allows for more compatible style elements, including font size and line heights through which web pages can be used more easily by people with disabilities. Website developers can craft specific CSS files especially for printing, or mobile devices, as well as the customary computer screen and in doing so making websites fully multimedia applications.

4. Isolation and Differentiation:

With the introduction of the CSS3 format, website designers have a lot to offer in development of a web page. CSS3 allows changes and modifications to be made in individual modules. CSS3 format helps users in separating presentation from structures. In this technique, style sheets defined presentational characteristics whereas the document structures were defined in separate heading. This eases the maintenance of the web page in efficient and comfortable manner.

When you start styling your content with CSS3 modules, you will probably never want to go back to using the old tags for styling.

You must use CSS3 to determine its full potential. Flexibility is the most useful features of using Cascading Style Sheets. One of the important things you require to gaze at before using this technique is what browsers the greater part of your users uses to visit your website. The reason behind this question is that it sometimes may be very difficult to make your CSS sprites friendly with many of the browsers depending on the techniques you use.

Corporate Brand Orientation: What is it? , What of it?

Approach and rationale

Although the corporate brand and brand orientation literatures both date back to the mid-1990s – as various reviews attest (see Balmer and Gray, 2003; Balmer 2010; Evans et al, 2012; Urde et al, 2013) – to date, there has been an oversight in explicitly linking brand orientation to corporate brands within the annals of both brand orientation and corporate brand management. Within the brand orientation literature, there are resemblances with the corporate brand orientation notion, as espoused in this article. However, the links between brand orientation and with corporate brands have, for the most part, been implicit and embryonic.

The main tenor of this article is to further shed light on the significance of the brand orientation notion, specifically, as it applies to corporate brands. In this article, the corporate brand orientation perspective is made explicit, is given intelligibility, and is afforded significance via the introduction and explication of the corporate brand orientation designation.

Another of its ambitions is to recognise and celebrate extant scholarship in the brand orientation field and, in particular, the seminal work of Urde (1994) on the eve of the twentieth anniversary, in 2014, of his groundbreaking work.

The perspectives and viewpoints advanced in this commentary are primarily informed by the author’s own reflections of the corporate brand orientation domain. For the sake of expediency, many of the references given in this commentary are those of the author and his co-authors.

Readers of this commentary will of course wish to apprise themselves of the literatures relating to brand orientation, corporate brands, corporate brand identification and corporate marketing. A list of further reading has been included to this end.

Corporate brand orientation: A logical development

As such, the formal introduction of a corporate brand orientation doctrine not only broadens but, arguably, also adds a degree of nuance and significance to the brand orientation field.

For the author, the espousal of the corporate brand orientation – which explicitly links the brand orientation notion to corporate brands – represents an entirely logical development of the original brand orientation perspective articulated by Urde (1994) in his Journal of Consumer Marketing article entitled ‘Brand orientation – A strategy for survival’.

This being noted, this article airs the author’s assessment that the brand orientation as it pertains to corporate brands is qualitatively different from the brand orientation as it applies to brands per se.

In addition, the formal introduction of the corporate brand orientation notion may advance the general discernment of the brand orientation territory by providing sharper and firmer theoretical/instrumental bases for brand orientation at the corporate level.

Brand orientation perspectives

Significantly, and building on the above, there is also a logic in categorising other brand orientation perspectives. As a first step towards this aim, the brand orientation nomenclature is seen to encompass the following:

1. Corporate brand orientation
   (an organisation’s centripetal force based on a corporate brand).
    (NB: A corporate services brand orientation will need to take cognisance of the particularly important role of employees).
2. Product brand orientation
   (an organisation’s centripetal force based on its product brands).
3. Service brand orientation
   (not at the corporate level) (an organisation’s centripetal force based on its non-corporate service brands).
4. Omni-brand orientation
   (an organisation’s centripetal force based on the firm’s brands in their totality).

Corporate-level orientation perspectives

It should be remembered that there are a number of possible orientations at the corporate level. These include corporate brand, corporate identity, corporate marketing and total corporate communication orientations. Such perspectives are not necessarily mutually exclusive and multiple orientations are possible.

1. Corporate brand orientation
   (the corporate brand as an organisation’s centripetal force based on a corporate brand’s value and covenant/‘promise’. This viewpoint informs this article).
2. Corporate identity orientation
   (the corporate identity as an organisation’s centripetal force based on an organisation’s innate characteristics that define and differentiate an entity; Balmer, 2008).
3. Corporate marketing orientation
   (the corporate marketing philosophy as an organisation’s centripetal force based on a corporate-level marketing philosophy that regards the organisation – including both its corporate brand and corporate identity – as the main interface with its customers and importantly its other stakeholder groups. See Balmer, 2011).
4. Total corporate communication orientation
   (total corporate communications as an organisation’s centripetal force/s based on the view that total corporate communication provides a critical and strategic lens grounded in the precept that everything an organisation says makes or communicates. See Balmer, 1995, 1998). Total corporate communications comprise primary communications – the communication effects of products, services, management, staff and corporate behaviour; secondary communications – the communication effects of controlled forms of communications such as advertising, PR and so on; and tertiary communications – the communication effects of communications given by third parties (see Balmer and Gray, 1999; also see Illia and Balmer, 2012).

        The corporate brand and corporate identity orientations, for some, may appear to be comparable, but there are significant differences. It has been previously argued that both identity-based views of the firm and identity-based views of corporate brands (see Balmer, 2008, pp. 893–984) afford salient and legitimate, but different, corporate-level perspectives.

As such, an orientation grounded in a corporate identity focuses on the organisation’s raison d’etre: what it does, its ethos, operating style, size, markets covered and mode of stakeholder engagement.

In contrast, a corporate brand orientation is grounded in the core promises and stakeholder expectations with which the corporate brand is associated.

Corporate brand orientation and a corporate marketing logic

Importantly, linking corporate brand orientation to a corporate/organisational marketing logic¹ is, from the author’s perspective, a key tenet of the corporate brand orientation.

Whereas extant discussions of brand orientation (Urde et al, 2013) have been explored in the context of the traditional marketing logic (the latter, typically, has a customer focus and product/services foci), it has not been discussed from the perspective of a corporate marketing logic (this has a stakeholder and institutional foci).

Reprising the key points of this introduction, the author holds that Urde’s (1994) brand orientation perspective is especially salient apropos corporate brands. As such, this requires a new approach to brand orientation: corporate brand orientation.

Brand Orientation and Corporate Brand Orientation : Progress, Problems and Prospects

Progress

     Recent, insightful reviews of the brand orientation canon have advanced the general comprehension of the domain. This includes the elucidation and comparison of various brand orientation and marketing perspectives (Urde et al, 2013) and the identification of philosophical, behavioural and hybrid approaches to the field (Evans et al, 2012).

Problems 

         Significantly, Evans et al (2012) note that within the brand orientation canon there has been a failure to build on extant work on the territory. As a consequence, this has impeded the development of the brand orientation construct.

These authors (Evans et al 2012) also observed a lack of clarity in terms of the focus of brand orientation. To reiterate, sometimes the notion appears to refer to the corporate brand and at other times to brands in their totality. Clearly, an organisational-wide philosophy and culture grounded in a corporate brand is markedly different from a philosophy and culture that focus on brands per se.

Consider the following explanations of brand orientation that, respectively, reveal the lack of clarity in terms of whether brand orientation should refer to the corporate brand or, more generally, to a company’s brands in their totality: (brand orientation is) ‘the degree to which the organisation values brands and its practices are oriented towards building brand capabilities.’ (Bridson and Evans, 2004, p. 404) (brand orientation is) the extent to which organisations regard themselves as brands and an indication of how much (or how) little the organisation accepts the theory and practice of branding. (Hankinson, 2001b, p. 231)

Prospects 

           For his part, the writer has noted four opportunities through which the brand orientation can be advanced:

• the efficacy in explicitly linking the brand orientation notion to corporate brands/the corporate brand literature per se;
• the efficacy in clearly linking brand orientation to the literature on corporate marketing;
• the efficacy in fully linking brand orientation to the literature on corporate brand identification, especially as it relates to employees/organisational members;
• the efficacy in fully discriminating between corporate brand orientation categories (this has already been detailed earlier).

Integrated model for implementation and development of knowledge management : Organizational modeling and EKD

According to Bubenko et al (2001), a model is a way to structure organizational knowledge in order to understand the holistic operations of a business or a business process. This model can never be the exact image of the real world but a collective perception, representing the benchmark, the experiences and the participants’ backgrounds.

EKD is a modeling methodology that provides a systematic way to analyse, understand, develop and document a business and its components (Bubenko et al, 2001; Stirna et al, 2007). It aims at a clear and unambiguous description of the business, what are the requirements and reasons for a particular change or new practice to be developed in the company, what are the alternatives that should be created to reach these requirements and what are the criteria and arguments used to evaluate these alternatives.

Among the main benefits, EKD allows: (a) a better understanding of the business; (b) an easier organizational learning process and a more effective communication on key issues; (c) a helpful understanding and a promotion of the capabilities and processes of the organization; (d) an improvement in communication among participants; (e) the development of a structured description of the business; and (f) a more accurate definition of the organization's goals, entities, processes and requirements.

The organizational model developed by the EKD methodology, shown in Figure 1, is composed of a number of sub-models or components that represent some particular aspect of the company. These sub-models, as well as issues related to them, are described below (Bubenko et al, 2001; Stirna et al, 2007):

1. Goals model: It focuses on the description of the organizational goals and the issues related to achieving them.
2. Concepts model: It is used to define ‘things’ and ‘phenomena’ addressed to the other models. Concepts may be tangible, for example, ‘car’, or intangible, for example, ‘knowledge’.
3. Business rules model: It is used to explicitly define and maintain business rules consistent with the Goals model. Rules may operate on or delimit goals. Business rules control the organizational actions.
4. Business process model: It is designed to analyse the processes’ interaction, information and materials. It allows a view of the activities and business processes that are or should be recognized in the organization in order for it to be managed according to its goals.
5. Actors and resources model: It defines the types of actors and resources involved in the business activity. This model describes how different actors and resources are related to each other and to the other models’ components.
6. Technical components and requirement model: It is an initial attempt to define the entire structure and the properties of the information system that will support business activities.

The evolution of research that resulted in the EKD methodology begins with the studies of Langefors (1968) who made important contributions to organizational modeling. In the early eighties, Plandata introduced the ABC method (Williars, 1988), which was enhanced by SISU (Swedish Institute for System Development) and later extended into an organizational modeling method in the Esprit Project F3 (From Fuzzy to Formal). The modeling method F3 (1994) was deepened in the Esprit Project ELKD, which was the base of the current version of the organizational modeling methodology EKD (Bubenko et al, 2001).

Different versions of the proposed methods have been applied in several European companies: British Aerospace (England), Capital Bank (England), National Bank of Greece, Postgirot (Sweden), Public Power Corporation (Greece), Sema Group (France), Telia (Sweden), Vattenfall (Swede), Volvo (Sweden) and so on.

Pádua et al (2004) made a comparison among the modeling techniques proposed in the literature (Table 2) and demonstrated the advantages of the EKD methodology.

Therefore, the choice of EKD methodology is grounded in Table 2, it is linked to the systemic features of EKD, its organizational learning and goals orientation, and especially because it is considered a methodology for managing organizational knowledge.

In the same context, it is important to show the evolution that EKD research has had in Brazil, mainly in the DECIDIR Research Group, of São Paulo University, School of Engineering of São Carlos, to which the authors of this article belong. EKD was used to generate models applied to several sectors and areas of the organization: the development of information systems (Pádua et al, 2004); process changes (Castro & Cazarini, 2005); the management of information systems (Campos & Cazarini, 2005); ERP systems (Castro & Cazarini, 2006); the construction of reference architectures for enterprise networks (Neves et al, 2006; Ganga et al, 2008); electronic commerce (Medrano & Cazarini, 2008); and decision making (Medrano & Cazarini, 2009).

International Brand Naming And How Words Can Hurt You (repost)

It was the famous publicist PJ Barnum who said in 1855 "I do not care what people say about me but get my name right".

In today's international marketplace, getting names right is vital.

Marketers and brand managers are becoming more and more concerned that their newly created name will be inappropriate in their target markets.

We've all seen middle aged marketing executives embarrass themselves when trying to appear trendy to the youth market but things get even worse when attacking overseas markets.

What many people don't realize is that innocuous English product names often do not travel well. So called, 'bad' names, names which embarrass, offend or are just plain unsuitable, are profligate.

Bad products names, bad brand names and even bad company titles, are continuously spawned and the headlong drive towards globalization has given unwelcome publicity to all of them. There are many instances of where things have gone awry, most of them too rude to mention in this article.

It's not just names which need careful attention, straplines can go just as wrong. Take for example, Electrolux, the Swedish white goods company, who used the strapline "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux" to great effect when promoting a vacuum cleaner across Europe. Unfortunately, when they used the same line for the US launch they became a laughing stock as 'sucks' means something is 'very bad' in America.

Bad translations on apparel can also convey the wrong message. Take the slogan "I saw the potato", instead of the correct Spanish translation of "I saw the Pope," used on promotional T-Shirts for the Pope's visit to Miami.

The cost of such a damaging event cannot easily be counted. The very fact that a product might have to be hurriedly withdrawn, or quickly re-badged can have a catastrophic effect on the image, position and value of the brand and, of course its owner.

How can one put a value on that? The cost can be enormous, with the repercussions leaving careers in tatters. It seems almost ridiculous to many outside the marketing business that there are still organisations that undertake no due diligence and take a chance on it being 'alright on the night'.

Most sensible people take out insurance to cover them for almost every event and occasion, yet when instances of such obvious potential devastation occur, it is always too late to do anything about it.

Traditional remedies such as expecting your advertising agency to provide such a service is, with some exceptions, a waste of time. It's like asking your dentist to give you a diagnosis in respect of a pain in your toe.

You might expect your translation agency to offer this service but, unless they are very experienced and have regularly handled the needs and demands of checking words worldwide, again you could be wasting your money. Proper checking involves much more than whether the word means something contentious or just risible in a foreign language.

So, what can be done to reduce the risks of things going wrong? Fortunately, there are a few simple but highly effective precautions which can be taken:

1. Remember names change with speech

There's a world of difference between the written and spoken word. Accents and dialects play havoc with the pronunciation of English words and vice versa.

Most of have had an experience of the way our own language is treated by foreigners. We sound similarly strange to foreigners when we try to speak in a language which isn't our own. Before deciding on a name, simply ask a native speaker of the target language if it sounds OK to them.

2. Avoid names that can't be pronounced easily, or at all

Although this sounds like another blatantly obvious point, it's something which many people forget completely. Many languages have an alphabet and a way of speaking which makes the reading of English words difficult or, in some extreme cases, practically impossible.

For instance, all words in Japanese end in either a vowel or the letter 'n' so it makes sense to chose a name which follows this convention. By doing this, you can be confident that your Japanese customers will be able to pronounce it without difficulty or embarrassment.

3. Avoid names that confuse

A name may meet every other criteria but due to culture, product qualities or its position in the market place, it may still confuse its intended consumer. This fault will seriously endanger product positioning and so clarity must be established.

Many years ago the then President of the USA, John F Kennedy was making a speech close to the Berlin Wall. He finished off in an effort to try to identify himself with the long-suffering inhabitants by announcing to his audience "Ich bin ein Berliner". Unfortunately, and unknown, to the President he was telling everyone that he was a doughnut; a Berliner being the popular name for a local pastry.

I am often amazed that companies spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars launching a product with a name which is so obviously wrong that it would have been flagged as inappropriate immediately had they undertaken proper checking.

The cost of checking is tiny compared to the damage caused by not doing so.

Chasing Fresh Sales Leads - Gets You Ahead of the Marketing Game

If you don't have sales then you need to step up and take full responsibility. Fresh sales leads are all you need to grow your business, having them is better than traditional advertisement which fails to work directly for you when attracting fresh leads.

Small to medium sized companies is usually composed of single or very small marketers. Worst, you don't have a budget and do the same marketing again. Marketing is not good enough to generate new opportunities for you to grow.

Buy a list- If you don't take action and not chase for leads, you're going to continue to fail when reaching your sales objectives. Good news is that you can buy lists that will allow you to contact new prospects. Buying list is an effective way to solve this challenge. Before calling this people you need to verify if you got all the right information in place in order to assemble a healthy list. Once you purchase the list you need to immediately contact them since there are other companies who want to get these leads also, therefore you need to take an action in order to convert them to warm customers.

Build a system in place- Marketing is not a one time activity, generating leads takes a considerable amount of time. Building a process where you can use marketing channels effectively helps you ahead of the game. You may integrate telemarketing in your list building just to really see that you have a continued campaign.

Read about potential clients- You may look at journals related to your business and find people who may be interested to buy your products and services. You can also read the newspapers and look at the internet on how to get the excellent tool to generate more leads for your business.

Everyone knows that in order to survive in your business you need to have a number of leads to be productive. The activities listed above are some of the things you can do to grow. You have to do your part and find new opportunities to get your name out there. Without leads you have no business, find the leads you need now and get in touch with lead providers who can help.

One of the easiest things you can do is to look for a company who can deliver the list for you. They could give you the opportunity on how to better meet your business goals and gives you sound advice on getting the leads you need.

Think about developing and changing your strategy to drive your sales upward. You'll get the number of fresh sales leads you need and be your own marketing machine with better results.

Affiliate 101 - What is Affiliate Marketing, how can it help you earn money from your site or blog.

SPECIAL INFORMATION :

Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing venture between a web site or blog owner (Publisher), an Affiliate Management Company and an online merchant (Advertiser).

The Publisher/Webmaster has a valuable commodity called visitors and it's these visitors that the advertiser wants a piece of. They might have the products and services but that does little for them unless they also have the potential customers to check out (and buy) their wares. This is where you come in as a Webmaster by generating traffic to your web site and then sending a portion of your visitors to the advertisers web site.

When these visitors go to the advertisers site and they buy a product/service or they subscribe to the advertisers newsletter for example then you earn a commission, sometimes big, sometimes small but you earn it. You sent the visitor, the visitor purchased and you get paid.. affiliate marketing at it's finest.

Let's not forget about the most import part of the formula since they orchestrate and coordinate activities between the webmaster and advertiser, we're talking about the affiliate management company.

They're the liaison between you the Webmaster and the Advertiser. Though they actually work for the advertisers they also work "with you". These affiliate companies attract the advertisers with the visitors the webmasters provide, and they attract webmasters with the commissions payouts for their visitors actions at the advertisers site. The affiliate company provides the technology (a web interface) so that advertisers can list their offers and payout amounts and the webmasters can pick the specific offers they'd like to market. Along with these basic functions both parties are also provided tracking information, detailed statistics, commission accrual, payment information, charts, tools and much more. As an intermediary, an affiliate company makes it easier for a webmaster to find quality advertisers to run text ads or banners for. Why try and join 10 different affiliate programs such as Amazon, eBay,  and others only to attempt to keep track of your ads and earnings through these 10 individual web sites when you could command ads from thousands of advertisers through one affiliate management company.

Press releases are often underestimated by internet marketers as a way to promote their businesses. But press releases work extremely well when they're used the right way. As soon as you send out a press release, your business, website or product receives exposure. Additionally, they are good for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes by giving you one way backlinks to your site. You can get started with press releases without spending any money. You can get your press release distributed around the internet for free by using one of many online free press release services. The content of your press release is very important if you're going to do this. Make your product or service sound newsworthy, describing its unique characteristics.

Do as much networking as you can online with other internet marketers in your niche, as this can be very beneficial. It's always a good thing to have lots of contacts. Don't hesitate to approach someone working in your same niche. Send some emails or messages and widen your circle of acquaintances. You can find a lot of professionals on business networks such as Linkedin. Another great place to meet people, many of them successful marketers, are internet marketing forums, where you can find threads on a wide variety of subjects.

Another idea is to start a forum or online community of your own, which you can then create exactly as you want. If, for example, your niche is travel, you can create a forum that is dedicated to travel and invite people with this interest to come and talk about this. Everyone who joins your forum also becomes a potential customer, as these will be people who you know have an interest in your niche. As your forum gets larger, it will naturally bring you more traffic, and as the founder of a popular forum you'll be recognized as an authority on your topic. Overall, Internet marketing can be termed as a journey that you start from scratch and take to the highest level with your commitment. Don't forget the importance of keeping a close eye on your competition. If you want to succeed, you have to do this. And if you want to work for long term success, don't forget test and track everything you do online.

Networking and Joint Ventures: Why You Should Ignore Your Competition

Something that many coaches, healers and other helping professionals have a hard time wrapping their mind around is the fact that there really is no competition. There just isn't. I don't have any and I don't think about it.

Let me explain what I mean…

I'm not a horse race person, but I've seen one or two. All the horses wear blinders. They are little flaps that go beside their eyes. They do that because the minute a horse looks at the horse beside them, it slows down.

In this same way you must run your own race in business. There are a lot of people who are overwhelmed, under-performing, under-implementing, and not doing what they need to do to grow their business because they are so engrossed in all of the newsletters and ezines and emails that are coming through their inbox making them feel "less than" magnificent.

Stop basing your value and your success on what's coming into your inbox. Shut it down, put it in a filter, and go build your business. Go run your own race. Go tell people about your story, share your message, and share your movement.

The minute you begin to compare yourself to others, or you look to others for validation, it will slow you down and the phone will stop ringing.

People always want to know how to start with nothing and go to a booming business with multiple programs and affiliates. People want to know how to get traffic to their site and more people in the door.

The answer that no one wants to hear is that there is no magic pill! The way to build a successful, sustainable business is to start talking to one person, and then you talk to two people, and then you talk to those people about how they can talk to someone.

It's the same basic process whether your focus is online or offline. About 90% of the work I do is virtual, but when you're getting started, consider using what you have in your immediate vicinity. Look to your town or your community. Regardless of where your business is or whether it is primarily online or offline, your approach must be based around connecting with more and more people.

I had a private client once who said, "How do you get joint ventures and affiliate partners?" I said to her, "The same way you make friends."

Approach affiliate opportunities and joint ventures the same way you live your life. Just reach out to people. When you find yourself saying, "Gosh, there's something about that person that resonates for me," connect with them.

So many people try to put more mystery into this than there needs to be. Although it isn't complicated, you do have to put the connection time in. Nothing gets built offline or online unless you take the time, the energy, and the commitment to make connection after connection after connection.

The wonderful quote, "Be more interested than interesting" is relevant to this. The worst thing in the world is to do when making connections or partaking in any kind of marketing activities like social media is to say something like, "Hi, I'm Suzanne! Buy my stuff!" Nobody cares!

You must walk into a business networking, marketing, or social media situation the same way you walk into a real party. Introduce yourself, talk with people, ask people about commonalities.

Walk into every room (or virtual event, or social media) like it's your party. What would you do if it were your party? You would thank people for coming. You would ask them how they are. You would see what you could do for them. You would be more interested than interesting.
