Branding and promotion is must for the success of a corporate business. Whatever quality service/products you offer, but without everybody knowing about it, you won’t earn. So to promote your brand, promotional products is a great option. Whether its an online or offline business, it works for sure. Though, at start, it will seem a costly option, but the end result is profit !!

Let me give an example of promotional products being used for marketing. Currently, Marketing Leverage, an affiliate network, did an intensive internet marketing via promotional products. They sent branded products free of cost to top bloggers like Shoemoney, Johnchow, Balkhis, etc. They sent a packet which included branded USB drives, pens, cams etc directly to the mail box of these top bloggers. Inturn, these bloggers wrote a review about Marketing Leverage on their blog - the paid review would have been costlier than the actual product. And inturn they received lot of traffic in this period. Now that’s called Intelligency !!

Similarly you can do great with promotional items, whether it is for direct mailing or trade show giveaway. Insurance, Life Settlements & Pharmaceutical industry is doing the same since years by giving away such products to doctors or patients.

Some of the hot items for promotional products are :

• Travel mug
• Wrist Watches
• Jotter
• Travel Speakers
• Bottle holder
• Hover clock
• Office dirt
• Calculators
• Promotional golf products
• USB pen drives etc.

So if you want to promote your business, go for promotional products marketing.

I bought Apple iPod Nano before 6 months and I am completely satisfied with it. It has changed my music life and now I listed more music than before, as the Nano remains with me every time. I like it very much and would recommend it to everybody. Since then I bought 2 more as gifts for my relatives. Here is a small review about Ipod Nano 3rd Generation with video capability.

Apple iPod nano is a 3rd generation iPod which comes with video and podcast support. As the name suggests, it is very small and with thin profile of 6.5mm - so it’s just unnoticeable when in pocket. Currently, 2 models are available - 4GB and 8GB. The design is very attractive, comes in 5 different colors for 8GB models while there is only white color model for 4GB one. The back is stainless steel polished while the top is anodised aluminium.

The resolution of the display is good, well brightened, size 320×240 px, and video looks great on it. Screen size is big in comparison to the overall iPod size - no compromize here. The touch pad works great and is easy to use.

The battery lasts for as long as 24 hours for audio and 5 hours for video. And can be fully charged within 1.5 hours. Music is as always rocking, with various equilizer settings. Supports artwork too. Songs can be easily downloaded via included charging USB cable. You will require itunes player or other itunes alternative software to download content from computer.

The video and picture quality is great. Supports mp4 video format and common image formats. Video/pictures can be output on TV with Apple Component/composite cable (it will not support ipod AV cable which attaches at headphone jack).

Includes other extra features like :

• Games
• Calender
• Reminder
• Alarm
• Contact book
• Notepad

Priced around $150 to $200 and can be bought from Apple store or other online shopping stores. I bought it from ebay for $180 which included cover, AV cable, AC adapter. Definitely worth buying at this price when it comes with such many features. Also know the fact that Apple iPod nano 3G was the most selling gift item of year 2007 on Amazon.

This is my experience with it. Before buying any product, read reviews online and research it properly. If any doubt, post your comments below.

iPod is the best portable music player used worldwide by millions of music lovers. But Apple (the maker) has made lot of restrictions for upload/download flexibility and firmware modification. You can only upload your songs using their iTunes music player and nothing else. Also, in current 3rd generation iPods, you can’t upload 3rd party games, applications etc. because of firmware encryption. As more and more people explore how to hack the firmware, Apple keep on becoming stubborn in this regard.

Anyway, you can upload your songs, videos, bought games etc. in your iPod from iTunes player. But it is not possible to transfer your iPod content back to a computer - not even via iTunes player. Sometimes you want to download your iPod content on a new PC (your old one crashed), or want to share with your friends, or want to make a backup of your iPod content before upgrading the firmware or just for a safety measure. And here arises a need for a software which can do this iPod to PC transfer.

Today I found a nice iPod to computer transfer software from Lenogo, which can do this task automatically, easily, fast and accurately. This software is fully compatible with currently available iPod models. You can check their free trial version before buying the full version. With such softwares, you can even export playlists, ratings, artists, albums and even video files. Similarly, such softwares are also available for iPhone to computer transfer.

Now, there is no need to fear about your iPod or iPhone data-loss. You can safely do a backup of your ipod content on a computer regularly and use it in case of ipod failure/loss.

Point of Sale or POS is a checkout counter in a retail shop where transaction takes place. Most of the big or small retail businesses now have computer operated POS system (which you might have seen in a walmart store ). Previously, different softwares perform different tasks related to a financial transactions. For e.g. one software inputs/registers the sale, another software calculates the profit, while another software maintains the balance sheet. But, due to ever increasing development in software industry, now a single POS software performs the several tasks. So purchasing a POS system for your business is an excellent idea. They can dramatically improve your backend performance and business processes, so that you can concentrate more on the actual product sale - the frontend. POS makes the financial management much easier and smoother.

Following steps should be taken before buying a POS :

Choosing the software
Choose your software first before buying an hardware because the software might not be compatible with the hardware your bought. Its always better to select a windows based software and then select an hardware that is compatible with it. while selecting the software company, assure that they will provide you after-support, guidance on usage, regular updates, have a good customer base, are reputable, under your niche,

Select the same provider
Selecting the same POS provider for your both hardware and software needs is safest and recommended step. The provider will be having knowledge of both the hardware and software and so he can optimize your system for best performance. No chance of different software or hardware provider blaming on each other for any system failure.

Select the niche software
Choose the provider that have experience in your business niche so that he knows what are the needs and requirements for your POS system and accordingly he can manage the things for you. Often customized solutions are available according to the business needs but that could be costly.

Reliable Brand
Choose a popular and reliable brand which provides good customer support and warranty.

The total cost
Make sure that the final cost of your POS incluces the cost of barcode scanners, leasing information, software, receipt papers and other add-ons, if any. Rule out any hidden costs & then only you can compare quotes of different company.

So proper research keeping in mind few important things will help you in buying a good Point of Sale system and will avoid the interruptions taking place from its failure.
