Researching products – it’s for the value also, not only for the better price

Researching products - it's for the value also, not only for the better price

Whenever I buy something online, I do some research. Things which interest me: Price (Is it a cheap product? Where can I get the product at a better price?) Price per value. Have I tested the products? Have other users tested the product? If so, what is their feed-back? Have famous reviewers (magazines & blogs) reviewed the product? What is their opinion? How does the product stand when you look at the top products sold in the category, at eMAG? What’s the product’s place on price.ro Top 10 lists? What’s the brand? Is it a reliable brand? Compatibility with other products in my house. Design. Can I buy the product without caring for warranty, or should I look for a store which gives me good warranty conditions? OK, if I have to pick, I generally pick a combination between “not to expensive” and “top sold products on eMAG”. Then I look for a cheap provider of the product (if I don’t care for the warranty that much). What’s to notice? When I buy a product, the value of the product matters also. It’s not all about the price. Price matters, but isn’t everything.

Buying fruits & vegetables from the supermarket

Buying fruits & vegetables from the supermarket

Until recently, I tended to buy green stuff (vegetables, fruits) from the peasant’s market. After a bit of thinking, I decided:  It’s always OK to buy exotic stuff from the supermarket (I used to do this, already). Buying from peasants gives you a possibility – the fruits & veggies may come from people who don’t do fertilizers. Buying from the supermarket gives you a certainty – you certainly know the origin, and you should know that they generally did things which are legal to the products. I used to see all of the advantages of a peasant’s market, and none of the supermarket’s. Now I see no reason to avoid buying Romanian grapes from Carrefour. I can buy them from peasant’s market, but I can also buy them from Carrefour. It’s about the same.

Protecție anti-spam office[at]office.com

de

Vezi asta frecvent: “Scrieți pe office AT gmail DOT com”. “Trimiteți mail la ionel {at} yahoo {punct} com”. Asta nu e protecție anti-spam, e foarte ușor de programat un robot care să știe de respectivul cod. Nu e deloc greu. E ușor de trecut peste asta. În plus, și metode mai sofisticate (imagine, în loc de text, sau text criptat în JavaScript) pot fi citite de oameni, dacă pui adresa publică pe zeci de site-uri, chiar criptată, va fi citită de oameni și primești tot o formă de mail nesolicitat. Soluția? Eu merg pe formular de contact cu cod de securitate și număr de telefon public. Pe rețelele sociale las opțiunea de trimitere de mesaj privat chiar dacă nu sunt prieten cu X. Notă: de văzut și – BitDefender Antivirus.

How to double the space in Gmail, without losing your email address

de

Gmail offers about 8 GBs of data for free right now. If that’s not enough, and you want to keep your current email address, you can do the following: You have an old Gmail (A) Create a new Gmail address (B). Forward all new mail from the old address (A) to the new one (B) and set to automatically trash the new mail in mail A (it will count in the space only prior to permanent deletion by gmail, which takes some 30 days). Set to never send to SPAM, always to forward. Set B to send mail as A (you use mail B, but you may send as mail A). This is pretty much it.

What title to put on a business card?

de

Paul KEWENE-HITE (Paul Kewene-Hite | LinkedIn) said, last night (“Entrepreneurship: Embracing Uncertainty” INSEAD MBA Master Class follow-up (photos), 2012.04.03, Radisson BLU Hotel – Get a result now!), a thing similar to this (approximate quote):

Most people have business cards with titles – “I’m a marketing manager”. Instead, they should focus on skills – “I can help you with creating your brand, I can design flyers, I have skills in product development”.

How to have a care-free phone

de

Sometimes, my phone, in the pocket, does strange things, like calling people. Two days ago, it rang a person, the first in my address book. And I thought of a thing to prevent this from going wrong. The solution? Put in the address book first persons with whom you have a very good relation and with whom the cost of a call won’t be high (same network, for example). So, I added four “Aa. First name Last name” contacts in the address book (actually, I renamed old ones). And now I’m happy with the result. :)
