New Marketing Viral Ideas in Retailing Industry

By Michael Hesson in Anywhere  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

They say that sales people must go where their clients are and these days it seems to be on popular social sites. A lot of people like to spent time playing games on Facebook and the most famous games are Farmville and Mafia Wars. Lot of these people are employees playing these games during working hours. They are extremely easy to learn, don't take too much time, but require frequent participation and social interaction with friends.

This is why retailers have found the social games on Facebook a nice playground to lure most of their customers. Wet Seal, for example, has discovered i-Dressup.

According to TechCrunch "Zinga made a partnership 7-eleven to offer Farmville, Mafia Wars and YoVille-branded items on many of the convenience store's products, including on Slurpee and Big Gulp cups in its 7,000 stores. Consumers will be able to connect back to the social games by using their product redemption codes for limited edition 7-Eleven goods within FarmVille, Mafia Wars and YoVille. This revenue share deal stemmed from the recent launch of Zynga gift cards in 7-11 stores. The campaign will begin on June 1 and will last for six-weeks."

This is the first attempt to tie virtual social activitites with physical consumer goods and a step forward in the marketing strategies.

Facebook Security Tips

Facebook launched new security features to protect users from spam, malicious attacks and privacy violation.

Now Facebook allows you to approve the devices you commonly use to log in and then to be notified by email or text message whenever your account is accessed from a device you haven't approved.

Try it out by going to "Account Security" on the Account Settings page. 

When we see that someone is trying to access your account from an unusual device, we'll ask the person to answer an additional verification question to prove his or her identity as the real account owner. For example, we might ask the person to enter a birth date, identify a friend in a photo or answer a security question if you've previously provided one. These questions are designed to be easy for you, and hard for a bad guy, and we've already seen some great results.
