“There is nothing that can destroy a woman and her power.”
Women empowerment is explained as accepting women’s thoughts and helping them to take a stand for themselves. This has become a topic of concern in today’s society. But do we care about empowering women? The answer is probably no. We, as a part of our society, give many speeches on this. Do we indeed mean what we say? Do we follow the same with the women around us? Again, the answer will be no. Indian society is likely to appreciate empowerment when it is about others. When it comes to our own family, we start to think about society. The REAL empowerment starts when there is nothing to think about a woman taking a stand for herself.
Women empowerment should be focused on encouraging women to fight for their rights. Whatever a woman does should be done because it is her right and not because she is allowed to do it. No one has to let her do something that she wants. A woman can do whatever she wants without seeking any permission. A man does not ask for a woman’s permission to do something. Then why should a woman get her father’s or husband’s permission? Let me cite an example. We all have men in our family. Have we seen our father or brother asking for permission to do a job? No. But we would have seen our mother or sister seeking permission to take up her job or studies and also would have come across many ‘NO’s.
What is the need for somebody to allow us to do something when we have the right? First, women should understand this point. She must not get impressed by someone’s sympathy. From the ages, a women’s mindset is fixed that her work is to take care of the family, engage in daily chores and take care of children. We convince ourselves to do all these right from the beginning which should not be done. No woman should compromise their career, dreams in the name of family. The traditional mindset should be withdrawn from women’s minds first. She should believe that she can achieve things beyond family. She has her own identity and being one’s daughter or wife is not her true identity. We can expect the change from others, especially, men only if we become the change.
Women empowerment doesn’t mean that women should be given higher priority. Empowerment should work towards an equal status both for men and women. If a noble thing or achievement is done by a woman, we see it in the headlines of newspapers or magazines mentioning them as woman officer, woman pilot, female poet, or female artist. But we don’t identify any male artist, male poet, man officer, or man pilot. This describes how equal society is. Equality in society will be established when there is no particular mention given to either man or woman.
In addition, we must acknowledge that society is changing practically towards equality. We have started addressing the chairman as chairperson, man-made as artificial, and mankind as humanity. A six-year-old girl raising questions on the terms coined in the patriarchal society stands as proof that this is not going to last anymore. Her questions went viral and she was answered by some of the achievers. They explain to her about our old patriarchal society and the influence of patriarchy in language as well. The world needs to change and it is changing. We must agree that this little kid has already reached halfway to create an equal society.
Designation or Profession shouldn’t be linked with genders. It should be generic. Our work towards this would be supporting and standing for all those who are ready to take a stand for themselves. “Equality is the soul of liberty” should not be ignored at any cost.
2020 did not bring sexy back but it bring comfort back.2020 was all about comfortable clothing and it seems like 2021 is going to follow the same. Dresses were swapped for PJ’s and heels for slippers. Accessories were swapped for essentials. And the biggest fashion statement was the mask you wore. The future of fashion is happening online, and brands will have to adjust how they create and sell clothing to make it work in a digital world.
With more shoppers taking advantage of online shopping, fashion retailers have to follow suit. Aside from changing Covid-19 restrictions, consumers increasingly prefer the convenience and speed of online shopping, even if it means not being able to try an item on in person. Fuelled largely by Covid-19 changes, fashion is simplifying, both in its styles and in its delivery.
Fashion trends themselves will also become more simplified. With many people working from home and social distancing for the foreseeable future, fashion brands have toned down their styling in favour of comfortable loungewear and clothing that works for sleeping and living. Even after the pandemic, clothing will likely stay simple and comfortable.
The rise of short-form content and marketing- is it good or bad?
A catchy Instagram reel, a provocative twitter post, an infectious slam poetry or just a hilarious meme, you know what all these have in common? Yes, you guessed it right, they are all short form content. The rise in short form content in the past few years has been monument. Even players who have traditionally been making traditional long form content are entering this space, a prime example would be YouTube with YouTube Shorts. Love it or hate it, short form content is here and it is here to stay.
Short form content does all those things long form content does and does it much better and much quicker. Imagine integrating a brand promotion in a 40 minute YouTube video and integrating the same in a 40 second Instagram reel, the latter has much better reach, retention value as well as easier to integrate. You do not require writing a 4000 word blog promoting a product/service, the same can be achieved with the help of 4 posts on Instagram. Short form Content has revolutionized the way we produce and consume content. Everyone is now a Prosumer, everybody produces as well as consumes content at the same time.
In this age of information overload short form content is the only thing that can cut through the clutter. And if done in an intuitive manner, then even better. With the help of artificial intelligence along with the numerous algorithms marketers now can specifically target their Target Group and achieve conversions. We often see ourselves engrossed in social media, scrolling and scrolling and that is the power of short form content. Even a consumer can now become a producer and that is what makes short form content so alluring.
Often short form content is accused of being cringe and massy. And perhaps to some extent it is but one man’s cringe is another man’s classic. Be it a trending Instagram reel or a quote trending on Twitter short form content has revolutionized the social media space. Remember the ALS ice bucket challenge, the #metoo movement,# the black lives matter movement, #India needs oxygen or even #free Palestine, all social issues of immense magnitude and all were able to have immense reach because of short form content. Short form content reaches people who are absolutely reluctant to go through content which is in any way cumbersome.
Even during this COVID-19 pandemic short form content has been used to spread awareness, locate resources and help the needy. Even marketers who have been sceptical of the same have acknowledged it. Short form content has influenced us and we have influenced it. So what does that mean, Will long form content cease to exist? Both long form content and short form content will continue to exist although one maybe more popular than the other at a particular given time.
The Novavax vaccine uses a traditional method to train the immune system to make antibodies to Covid’s spike proteins.It differs from mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna that use genetic code to create an immune response.Researchers began by modifying the spike gene, which was inserted into a virus called baculovirus and allowed to infect moth cells. The infected cells produced the spikes seen on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which were then harvested and assembled into nanoparticles. These nanoparticles mimic Covid’s molecular structure but do not cause it.Immune cells, with the assistance of helper T cells, then take on the spike proteins and tear them apart.B cells can encounter the vaccine nanoparticles and if they are congruously shaped, will latch on to the spike protein and proliferate, producing antibodies of the same shape.The production of these correctly shaped antibodies is what stops coronavirus from entering the body’s cells.The same method is used to make vaccines for flu and HPV. Novavax said on Monday that its two-shot Covid-19 vaccine was 90 per cent effective at preventing symptomatic cases and 100 per cent effective at preventing moderate and severe symptoms.The US-based biotech firm said it was also 93 per cent effective against variants of concern such as the Alpha strain that originated in the UK.Findings on its efficacy were based on trials involving nearly 30,000 people in the US and Mexico who were injected at random with either the Novavax vaccine or a placebo.The study produced 77 cases of the virus. Of these, 14 people had received the vaccine and 63 the placebo.The infections were all mild but with only one case of the highly infectious Delta strain among these 77 infections, the vaccine’s efficacy against the most concerning of all variants is not assured.
Shakuntala Devi was a remarkable lady known for superfast calculations, something that had earned her the title of ‘human computer’. Born in Bangalore in the year 1929, Shakuntala’s talent was first observed by her father when he was training her for remembering numbers on the card for the circuses. Shakuntala’s father used to work in a circus. Soon after the father – daughter duo were traveling to do street shows based on a young Shakuntala’s calculations’ talent. Shakuntala had by the end of year 1944 moved to London thereby traveling across the world doing shows. After all the young prodigy was known to solve the most complex equations within seconds. So much so that the professor of psychology at California University, Arthur Jensen, had called her to the university in the year 1988 to study her exceptional capabilities. The world was stunned with Shakuntala Devi’s talent. In the year 1980, her name was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Record for calculating thirteen digit numbers- 7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779- which were picked at random at the Computer Department of Imperial College, London. She gave the correct answer – 18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730- in just 28 seconds. Shakuntala Devi was also a successful astrologer and author of several books on the subject. She also wrote texts on mathematics for children and puzzles. The immensely gifted mathematician bid her adieu to the world in year 2013
Quantum mechanics is a field of physics which has grown to the best and still growing endlessly from its first proposal by Niels Bohr and Max plank. It has influenced greatly the way humanity approaches the advancement in each and every field including technology. Now this quantum theory has birthed a new contrivance called Quantum dots and there is no doubt that they are going to show substantial influence on our near future. The quantum dots are very small particles of a few nanometers size. But their properties vary from the larger particles due to quantum mechanics. Even though size is the main criteria for quantum dot’s exceptional behaviour, their shape, structure and composition also play a major role. They act like artificial atom showing similar electronic wavefunctions to atoms, and artificial molecules can be prepared from them, exhibiting hybridization. Alexander Efros was first to theorize the quantum dots. And then Alexei Ekimov first time produced a quantum dot. Now quantum dots of different materials are produced for the different purposes of research and technologies.
What makes us to call quantum dot the near future? From their first synthesis to today quantum dots have shown immense application throughout the varying science fields. Quantum dots are used in biological imaging and labelling of live cells as they can be injected into the cells and can be attached to biomolecules. Quantum dots conjugated to immunoglobulin G and streptavidin are used as label to malignant cells of breast cancer. Cells can easily engulf these quantum dots. And their capacity to show symmetrical emission, broad excitation and ability to be excited in single excitation make them a potential replacement to organic label dyes.
They can be used as absorbing photovoltaic material. Quantum dots produce multiple excitons from a single photon compared to today’s solar cells which produce only one. So bulk materials like silicon can be replaced by these materials. Hence QDs promise to extract more energy per photon and also require less space. Thermodynamic calculations by National renewable energy laboratory in Colorado, United states has shown that solar cells developed by quantum dots operating under concentrated sunlight have theoretical conversion efficiency of 66% compared to 31% of present-day solar cells.
There is one more interesting thing. In an article by NCBI headed QUANTUM DOTS AS A PROMISING AGENT TO COMBAT COVID-19 says Carbon based quantum dots could be used to disable S protein of SARS COV-2. And quantum dots incorporated with suitable functional groups interacts with the entry receptors of the virus and affects genomic replication. These things can turn into potential solutions to the pandemic.
Apart from all these, quantum dots find real and potential applications in single electron transistors, lasers, LEDs, microscopy and many other things. They are more promising, efficient compared to the conventional ones. Their application in technologies like quantum computing are signs to hope for a revolution. All these technologies are half the way and can surely become our present very soon.

“A business oriented mind can never be dry. It’s a field that forever bears crops of creativity!”
–Amatullah P.
Ola! Let us have a testing article that allows you to judge whether or not your mind is business oriented.
Business has always been a fascinating endeavour except the fact that you are money driven and aren’t quite enjoying the business you are in. Yes, if you are a business minded person then you would enjoy the processes you go through to make a surplus and not be driven simply by the end goal- money! For instance, you are an eatery and your business seems to be racing. However, the ingredients of your recipes include love, patience, and immense passion that amalgamate into providing the best possible vibes to it. Thus, the process of getting to the surplus is enjoying the creation and delivery of your services while money gets to you later. After all, the customer needs to be satisfied with your services which involves you having proficiency in your tasks.
Impressing Customers!
Every business surely has a competition and thus, a business minded person knows how to deal with the same. He is well versed in befriending the competition in such a way so as to not get caught red handed spying on their services. Though, our motto isn’t to spy and steal their services but we surely have to, for inspiration which can drive us forward. Thus, a business oriented person knows how to spy and work for his benefit while ensuring good relations with the victims!
Strategically Using Competitors!
The mob out there is essential for understanding the value of our company on the basis of their demands. Thus, if you are a true business lover and haven’t restricted your business to buying and selling, you would take the best of efforts in surveying people regarding their demands before introducing services for your company. In short, it’s all about considering that true business runs with the people and not ahead of them. It’s all about pondering that a business is simply a convenient platform for the mob to which they can turn, in case of ‘desire emergency.’
Market Segmentation- Dividing People On The Basis Of Demand!
A business lover doesn’t indulge into malpractices because when money and profit become the only goal in business, the owner can’t shun the thought of deceit. That’s exactly why, a true business lover wouldn’t want to indulge in such practices and damage the reputation of his beloved company. Also, he would value his customers and put himself in their shoes considering that as we feel satisfied with proper discharge of services and deeply fall in love with that ‘worth a penny’ investment, similar is the case with our customers. Thus, your job is to keep your customers happy which makes you a loyal businessman, enough to create an attractive repute of your company!
A business lover uses his competition as inspiration or stepping stones to success and not as enemies who should be overrun or overtaken. Just because your competition indulges into the same level of business as you, doesn’t make them your enemies. The fact that they might get more customers is something that scares people. But a thing we miss out on is that the way you discharge your services is all that matters and attracts people towards you. A business oriented person would thus, carry a broad outlook and understand that more conveniences and facilities or variety in your services would attract customers. This too, can happen when your relations with your competitors are in good books and the policy of overturning them and wrestling them to the ground isn’t your agenda! These competitors can teach you a lot and help you succeed. Signing the pact of friendship with them by ensuring that neither of you would use force to annex each other would be enough help!
Get This Dream Of Crushing Your Competitors Out Of Your Mind!
A thing to be noted is that, it isn’t wrong to have profit as the end goal and it is and will be always. But you need to pave a path towards that goal. For instance, don’t consider horses on a race course in business whose main motto is to win. Consider, business as life wherein following the right way towards our goals becomes necessary for wisdom which eventually helps you win. Thus, just like life, business too yearns for a proper direction to a racing mind.
In short, a business oriented person would take all the possible aspects of the same into consideration and construct the rightful path to customer satisfaction. Love for services, customers, and way of winning their hearts becomes your prime goal. The day your mind moves from the competition and devotes to the fine tuning of your business, the day you realize the worth of business and it’s importance to you, is ensuring that you are closer to success. As long as you are subjected to myopic vision towards your business, consider it a bud that hasn’t bloomed as of yet because it awaits a broader vision from your side to bloom into a beautiful flower as it begins attracting bees towards it!
What Is DIGITAL MARKETING :Digital marketing is the component of marketing that utilizes internet and online based digital technologies such as desktop computers, mobile phones and other digital media and platforms to promote products and services.
It is the component of marketing that utilizes internet and online based digital technologies such as desktop computers, mobile phones and other digital media and platforms to promote products and services. Its development during the 1990s and 2000s, changed the way brands and businesses use technology for marketing. As digital platforms became increasingly incorporated into marketing plans and everyday life, and as people increasingly use digital devices instead of visiting physical shops, digital marketing campaigns have become prevalent, employing combinations of search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), content marketing, influencer marketing, content automation, campaign marketing, data-driven marketing, e-commerce marketing, social media marketing, social media optimization, e-mail direct marketing, display advertising, e–books, and optical disks and games have become commonplace. Digital marketing extends to non-Internet channels that provide digital media, such as television, mobile phones (SMS and MMS), callback, and on-hold mobile ring tones.The extension to non-Internet channels differentiates digital marketing from online marketing.
Types of DIGITAL MARKETING :There are as many specializations within digital marketing as there are ways of interacting using digital media. Here are a few key examples. Search engine optimization Search engine optimization, or SEO, is technically a marketing tool rather than a form of marketing in itself. The Balance defines it as “the art and science of making web pages attractive to search engines.” The “art and science” part of SEO is what’s most important. SEO is a science because it requires you to research and weigh different contributing factors to achieve the highest possible ranking. Today, the most important elements to consider when optimizing a web page include: Quality of content Level of user engagement Mobile-friendliness Number and quality of inbound links The strategic use of these factors makes SEO a science, but the unpredictability involved makes it an art.Now a days through Digital Marketing student will earn a lot and build knowledge also.
The Benefits of Digital Marketing :Digital marketing has become prominent largely because it reaches such a wide audience of people, but it offers a number of other advantages as well.

Never before has there been a way to stay in such consistent contact with your customers, and nothing else offers the level of personalization that digital data can provide. The more you embrace the possibilities of digital marketing, the more you’ll be able to realize your company’s growth potential.
Brand Awareness :One of the key objectives of modern digital marketing is to raise brand awareness, the extent to which customers and the general public are familiar with and recognize a particular brand.
Enhancing brand awareness is important in digital marketing, and marketing in general, because of its impact on brand perception and consumer decision-making. According to the 2015 essay, “Impact of Brand on Consumer Behavior”:
“Brand awareness, as one of the fundamental dimensions of brand equity, is often considered to be a prerequisite of consumers’ buying decision, as it represents the main factor for including a brand in the consideration set. Brand awareness can also influence consumers’ perceived risk assessment and their confidence in the purchase decision, due to familiarity with the brand and its characteristics.”
Recent trends show that businesses and digital marketers are prioritizing brand awareness, focusing more on their digital marketing efforts on cultivating brand recognition and recall than in previous years. This is evidenced by a 2019 Content Marketing Institute study, which found that 81% of digital marketers have worked on enhancing brand recognition over the past year.
Another Content Marketing Institute survey revealed 89% of B2B marketers now believe improving brand awareness to be more important than efforts directed at increasing sales.
Increasing brand awareness is a focus of digital marketing strategy for a number of reasons:
1.The growth of online shopping
2.The role of digital interaction in customer behaviour
3.The growing influence and role of brand awareness in online consumer decision-making.
4. The use, convenience, and influence of social media
Online methods used to build brand awareness:The most important and relevant topics of Digital Marketing is now begin if any one have enough knowledge and information about following topics then they do anything through Digital Marketing.
Building brand awareness may involve such methods/tools as:
a) Search engine optimization (SEO):
Search engine optimization techniques may be used to improve the visibility of business websites and brand-related content for common industry-related search queries.
The importance of SEO to increasing brand awareness is said to correlate with the growing influence of search results and search features like featured snippets, knowledge panels, and local SEO on customer behavior.
b) Search engine marketing (SEM):
SEM, also known as PPC advertising, involves the purchase of ad space in prominent, visible positions atop search results pages and websites. Search ads have been shown to have a positive impact on brand recognition, awareness and conversions.
33% of searchers who click on paid ads do so because they directly respond to their particular search query.
c) Social media marketing:
70% of marketers list increasing brand awareness as their number one goal for marketing on social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube are listed as the top platforms currently used by social media marketing teams.
d) Content marketing:
56% of marketers believe personalized content – brand-centered blogs, articles, social updates, videos, landing pages – improves brand recall and engagement.
According to Mentionlytics, an active and consistent content strategy that incorporates elements of interactive content creation, social posting, and guest blogging can improve brand awareness and loyalty by 88%.
e) Articles and Blogs:So many peoples are interested in writing articles blogs, news etc it build peoples knowledge and personality. If we have a company blog, share the articles to our social media feeds with direct links where we can. Blog posts sharing company news, open job postings, and industry developments can be repurposed to share on social media.
For Instagram, post an appealing on-brand graphic that fits the content. If we are posting to the feed, redirect users to a link in our bio. If we are posting to Stories (and we have over 10,000 followers), employ the “Swipe up” feature..
In LinkedIn, in-house articles and blog posts are a great way to share our expertise and provide updates on your company’s work. We can share these articles directly through LinkedIn’s publishing platform.
# Ineffective forms of digital marketing :Digital marketing activity is still growing across the world according to the headline global marketing index. A study published in September 2018, found that global outlays on digital marketing tactics are approaching $100 billion. Digital media continues to rapidly grow; while the marketing budgets are expanding, traditional media is declining (World Economics, 2015).Digital media helps brands reach consumers to engage with their product or service in a personalized way. Five areas, which are outlined as current industry practices that are often ineffective are prioritizing clicks, balancing search and display, understanding mobiles, targeting, viewability, brand safety and invalid traffic, and cross-platform measurement (Whiteside, 2016).Why these practices are ineffective and some ways around making these aspects effective are discussed surrounding the following points.
a) Prioritizing clicks:
Prioritizing clicks refers to display click ads, although advantageous by being ‘simple, fast and inexpensive’ rates for display ads in 2016 is only 0.10 percent in the United States. This means one in a thousand click ads is relevant therefore having little effect. This displays that marketing companies should not just use click ads to evaluate the effectiveness of display advertisements (Whiteside, 2016).
b) Balancing search and display:
Balancing search and display for digital display ads are important; marketers tend to look at the last search and attribute all of the effectiveness of this. This, in turn, disregards other marketing efforts, which establish brand value within the consumer’s mind. ComScore determined through drawing on data online, produced by over one hundred multichannel retailers that digital display marketing poses strengths when compared with or positioned alongside, paid search (Whiteside, 2016).This is why it is advised that when someone clicks on a display ad the company opens a landing page, not its home page. A landing page typically has something to draw the customer in to search beyond this page. T Commonly marketers see increased sales among people exposed to a search ad. But the fact of how many people you can reach with a display campaign compared to a search campaign should be considered. Multichannel retailers have an increased reach if the display is considered in synergy with search campaigns. Overall both search and display aspects are valued as display campaigns build awareness for the brand so that more people are likely to click on these digital ads when running a search campaign (Whiteside, 2016).
Channels
Digital Marketing Channels are systems based on the Internet that can create, accelerate, and transmit product value from producer to a consumer terminal, through digital networks. Digital marketing is facilitated by multiple Digital Marketing channels, As an advertiser one’s core objective is to find channels which result in maximum two-way communication and a better overall ROI for the brand. There are multiple digital marketing channels available namely.
A) Affiliate marketing – Affiliate marketing is perceived to not be considered a safe, reliable, and easy means of marketing through online platforms. This is due to a lack of reliability in terms of affiliates that can produce the demanded number of new customers. As a result of this risk and bad affiliates, it leaves the brand prone to exploitation in terms of claiming commission that isn’t honestly acquired. Legal means may offer some protection against this, yet there are limitations in recovering any losses or investment. Despite this, affiliate marketing allows the brand to market towards smaller publishers and websites with smaller traffic. Brands that choose to use this marketing often should beware of such risks involved and look to associate with affiliates in which rules are laid down between the parties involved to assure and minimize the risk involved.
B) Display Marketing: As the term implies, online display advertising deals with showcasing promotional messages or ideas to the consumer on the internet. This includes a wide range of advertisements like advertising blogs, networks, interstitial ads, contextual data, ads on search engines, classified or dynamic advertisements, etc.
C) Email Marketing :Email marketing in comparison to other forms of digital marketing is considered cheap; it is also a way to rapidly communicate a message such as their value proposition to existing or potential customers. Yet this channel of communication may be perceived by recipients to be bothersome and irritating especially to new or potential customers, therefore the success of email marketing is reliant on the language and visual appeal applied. In terms of visual appeal, there are indications that using graphics/visuals that are relevant to the message which is attempting to be sent, yet less visual graphics to be applied with initial emails are more effective in-turn creating a relatively personal feel to the email
D) Search Engine Marketing :Search engine marketing (SEM) is a form of Internet marketing that involves the promotion of websites by increasing their visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) primarily through paid advertising.
E) Social Media Marketing :The term ‘Digital Marketing’ has a number of marketing facets as it supports different channels used in and among these, comes the Social Media.

#Stages of planning
Using Dr Dave Chaffey’s approach, the digital marketing planning (DMP) has three main stages: Opportunity, Strategy, and Action. He suggests that any business looking to implement a successful digital marketing strategy must structure their plan by looking at opportunity, strategy and action. This generic strategic approach often has phases of situation review, goal setting, strategy formulation, resource allocation and monitoring.
1) Opportunity
To create an effective DMP, a business first needs to review the marketplace and set ‘SMART’ (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) objectives.They can set SMART objectives by reviewing the current benchmarks and key performance indicators (KPIs) of the company and competitors. It is pertinent that the analytics used for the KPIs be customized to the type, objectives, mission, and vision of the company.
Companies can scan for marketing and sales opportunities by reviewing their own outreach as well as influencer outreach. This means they have competitive advantage because they are able to analyse their co-marketers influence and brand associations.
To seize the opportunity, the firm should summarize its current customers’ personas and purchase journey from this they are able to deduce their digital marketing capability. This means they need to form a clear picture of where they are currently and how many resources they can allocate for their digital marketing strategy i.e. labor, time, etc. By summarizing the purchase journey, they can also recognize gaps and growth for future marketing opportunities that will either meet objectives or propose new objectives and increase profit.
2) Strategy
To create a planned digital strategy, the company must review their digital proposition (what you are offering to consumers) and communicate it using digital customer targeting techniques. So, they must define online value proposition (OVP), this means the company must express clearly what they are offering customers online e.g. brand positioning.
The company should also (re)select target market segments and personas and define digital targeting approaches.
After doing this effectively, it is important to review the marketing mix for online options. The marketing mix comprises the 4Ps – Product, Price, Promotion, and Place. Some academics have added three additional elements to the traditional 4Ps of marketing Process, Place, and Physical appearance making it 7Ps of marketing.
3) Action
The third and final stage requires the firm to set a budget and management systems; these must be measurable touchpoints, such as the audience reached across all digital platforms. Furthermore, marketers must ensure the budget and management systems are integrating the paid, owned, and earned media of the company. The Action and final stage of planning also requires the company to set in place measurable content creation e.g. oral, visual or written online media.
After confirming the digital marketing plan, a scheduled format of digital communications (e.g. Gantt Chart) should be encoded throughout the internal operations of the company. This ensures that all platforms used fall in line and complement each other for the succeeding stages of digital marketing strategy.
#Understanding the market:
One way marketers can reach out to consumers, and understand their thought process is through what is called an empathy map. An empathy map is a four-step process. The first step is through asking questions that the consumer would be thinking in their demographic. The second step is to describe the feelings that the consumer may be having. The third step is to think about what the consumer would say in their situation. The final step is to imagine what the consumer will try to do based on the other three steps. This map is so marketing teams can put themselves in their target demographics shoes.Web Analytics are also a very important way to understand consumers. They show the habits that people have online for each website. One particular form of these analytics is predictive analytics which helps marketers figure out what route consumers are on. This uses the information gathered from other analytics and then creates different predictions of what people will do so that companies can strategize on what to do next, according to the people’s trends
#Shearing Economy :The “sharing economy” refers to an economic pattern that aims to obtain a resource that is not fully utilized.Nowadays, the sharing economy has had an unimagined effect on many traditional elements including labor, industry, and distribution system.This effect is not negligible that some industries are obviously under threat.The sharing economy is influencing the traditional marketing channels by changing the nature of some specific concept including ownership, assets, and recruitment.
Digital marketing channels and traditional marketing channels are similar in function that the value of the product or service is passed from the original producer to the end user by a kind of supply chain.Digital Marketing channels, however, consist of internet systems that create, promote, and deliver products or services from producer to consumer through digital networks. Increasing changes to marketing channels has been a significant contributor to the expansion and growth of the sharing economy.Such changes to marketing channels has prompted unprecedented and historic growth. In addition to this typical approach, the built-in control, efficiency and low cost of digital marketing channels is an essential features in the application of sharing economy. In presnt days Digital Marketing is good earning opportunity for student and its a trending topic in every social media plateform.
“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” Glenn Close
As said by Glenn Close, Mental Health is something which grows on and effects the functioning of your mind and body, if not taken care at the correct time. Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. People sometimes use the term “mentalhealth” to mean the absence of a mental disorder. Mental Health refers to your emotional and psychological wellbeing. Having good mental health helps you lead a relatively happy and healthy life. It helps you demonstrate resilience and the ability to cope in the face of life’s adversities. It adversely effects your daily life and affects the working of mind and body. Your mental health can be influenced by a variety of factors, including life events or even your genetics.
Causes of Mental Health
In the recent years, it has been observed that the number of mental health cases are increasing day-by-day. The leading cause of disability is Depression, and the second leading cause is Suicide. Mental health problems can have a wide range of causes. It’s likely that for many people there is a complicated combination of factors – although different people may be more deeply affected by certain things than others.
For example, the following factors could potentially result in a period of poor mental health:
childhood abuse, trauma, or neglect
social isolation or loneliness
experiencing discrimination and stigma
social disadvantage, poverty or debt
bereavement (losing someone close to you)
severe or long-term stress
having a long-term physical health condition
unemployment or losing your job
homelessness or poor housing
being a long-term career for someone
drug and alcohol misuse
domestic violence, bullying or other abuse as an adult
significant trauma as an adult, such as military combat, being involved in a serious incident in which you feared for your life, or being the victim of a violent crime
physical causes – for example, a head injury or a neurological condition such as epilepsy can have an impact on your behavior and mood. (It’s important to rule out potential physical causes before seeking further treatment for a mental health problem).
Although lifestyle factors including work, diet, drugs and lack of sleep can all affect your mental health, if you experience a mental health problem there are usually other factors as well.
These days the Mental Health is not that good, as there is so much going on everywhere and it effects the us mentally in someway or the other.
Mental Health Disorder
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) helps mental health professionals diagnose mental illnesses. There are many types of mental health disorders. In fact, almost 300 different conditions are listed in DSM-5. The disorders listed are- Bipolar Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder, Generalized anxiety disorder, Major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.
Coping with Mental Disorder
The symptoms of many mental illnesses may get worse if they’re left untreated. Reach out for psychological help if you or someone you know may have a mental illness. If you’re unsure where to start, visit your primary care doctor. They can help with the initial diagnosis and provide a referral to a psychiatrist. It’s important to know that you can still have a full and happy life with a mental illness. Working with a therapist and other members of your mental health team will help you learn healthy ways to manage your condition.
Mental Health Treatment
Treatment for mental health disorders is not one size fits all, and it does not offer a cure. Instead, treatment aims to reduce symptoms, address underlying causes, and make the condition manageable. You and your doctor will work together to find a plan. It may be a combination of treatments because some people have better results with a multi-angle approach.
Even waking up early in the morning taking care of all your stuff yourself without taking any bodies help till the day ends and you go sleep.
Some people give remarks like these to us every now and then, who cares because we know we are responsible King or queen of our whole generation.
But wait, why do these people always say something about us which of cores now we do not care about.
If you keep a focus eye on it you will find out that the things you thought are competed are still yet to get completed like according to you its 100%(percent) completed but the reality is its only almost 98%(percent).
DO we have an all right all complete glasses over our eye will tells us these data? Well might have.
So how to remove that imaginator cover of glasses from our beautiful eyes.
To get all these let us start from the basics that is from.
What is the meaning of responsibility? According to google it is.
– the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone:
“a true leader takes responsibility for their team and helps them achieve goals.”
From this above meaning let us have our discussion. The leader has taken the responsibility for the team to achieve their goal and what if when he is not given any control for the same will he be responsible for it?
Maybe not because from the definition stated above. Because the same persons have the responsibility who has a control over the same.
What is the meaning of being responsible?
According to google search.
– having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one’s job or role:
“The department responsible for education”
From the sentence above it states that a person who is obliged to do something, and from the previous example the leader is responsible because he is obliged to fulfill his task as to get his team achieve their goal.
And here it is us who has the control over something (it is our stuff anyway) and does accordingly for it but we not are not obliged to do it completely. And once you understand, it is simple you move forward without having any burden in your life.
For example: –
There was a man names BAG he daily rides his bicycle to the playground where he plays the sports, he loved playing, he has a very close friend to him they used to play along with other friends on the field. One day BAG comes home with his friend on his friends sooty and after sometimes when BAG family members noticed where is his bicycle they went to the room where he was resting after having his dinner, they said that ‘hey BAG where is your bicycle did you lent it someone?’ Then BAG replied’ Oh shit, I forget it there on the field’ then he quickly ran there and hopefully found his bicycle kept there.
But what if some thief has stolen it away from there and something wrong would had happened. Is it that BAG is not responsible, Tough he rushed fast to get back his bicycle but what it is that he forgets it he had control over it but he was not responsible towards; it not obliged?
Sometimes there are situation when we seriously forget, but it is okay until it’s too late to realize it
So always be responsible towards your responsibility because it is your own controlled area.

Happy that there was no rain to affect the match except the last 30 mins. We had a lot of cricket yesterday in the day-3 of World Test Championship Final- India Vs New Zealand. The day was planned for 98 overs. This blog is to summarize the day of cricket clash. India started the innings at 146-3 with Kohli(44*) and Rahane(29*) at the crease. As a shock to all the fans, Virat Kohli departed at his overnight score without scoring any runs in day-3. Kyle Jamieson bowled a perfect fuller-length delivery to dismiss Kohli in a lbw. Then came Rishabh Pant. The 23-year old was expected to play a vital innings for the team and take the score big. But to all our disappointment, Pant was dismissed at 4 runs by Kyle Jamieson. Rahane remained at the crease with no one to support him. Then Jadeja join him and they made a quite good partnership of 26 runs. These 2 were expected to take the game long. But Niel Wagner dismissed Rahane when he was at 49 runs. The vice captain went off the field without scoring a half century. Then, as everyone know, came Ravi Ashwin. But the surprise point is he didn’t come to play a supporting role to Jadeja. He started hitting boundaries, giving India a hope of scoring 270+ runs. But he was dismissed at 22 runs by Tim Southee. He scored 3 boundaries in his quick innings of 27 balls. Then the tail-enders started to come one after other. Nothing gone in favour of India in the 1st innings of batting. India was all-out at 217. Rahane was the highest scorer(49 runs). Then it was the Indian bowlers’ duty to restrict the New Zealanders for a low total as much as possible.
NZ – 1st Innings:
Tom Latham and Devon Conway opened the innings for New Zealand. The pair played a patient cricket without taking any risks. The run rate was just 1+ for the first 20 overs. Credits must be given to Indian bowlers to bowl with control. Bowlers never lost their patience. NZ batsmen struggled against the fast bowlers but luck was at their side. The pair made a long opening partnership of 34 overs. When the energy of the crowd was down, Indian players were fighting with patience. Ashwin took the wicket of Tom Latham at 35th over. The left hander was dismissed scoring 30 runs off 114 balls. Then the captain Kane Williamson joined hands with Decoy Conway. The pair looked comfortable. Kane batted comfortably keeping his partner without pressure. The pair batted for next 14 overs and made a 31 runs partnership. Ishant Sharma took the wicket of Devon Conway before the end of the day. He was dismissed scoring 54 runs off 153 balls. Then Ross Taylor came to the crease. He played 3 balls and then the play was stopped at 11 PM IST due to bad light and was announced that the play will resume on day-4. New Zealand scored 101-2 at the end of the day.
The run-rate of this final match(2.27 rpo) is the slowest in any test played in England this century.
