Daca sunteti proprietarul unui magazin online este important sa cunoasteti cateva asteptari esentiale pe care cumparatorii online le au ca parte a unei bune experiente a cumparaturilor online.
Canibalii și REI
Un banc (relatat, mai jos, aproximativ) auzit de la un profesor de la Relații Economice Internaționale:
Prind canibalii un grup de persoane.
Canibalii: – Ziceți-ne ceva de care să fi auzit noi sau la ceaun!
Primul: – Sunt francez, turnul Eiffel, Paris, Mona Lisa.
Canibalii: – N-am auzit de voi! La ceaun!
Al doilea: – Sunt american, New York, Statuia Libertății, Casa Albă.
Canibalii: – N-am auzit de voi! La ceaun!
Al treilea: – De mine sigur n-ați auzit, sunt profesor în București, la Facultatea de Relații Economice Internaționale.
Canibalii: – A, păi acolo ne trimitem noi nepoții! Liber!
maică, da’ tu ce ești?
Știți cu toții bancul cu baba în tren care vede un negru: maică, da’ tu ce ești? – negru! – negru, negru, da’ de unde? – din Congo – din Congo, din Congo, da’ de unde din Congo? – din Brazaville! – aha, din Brazaville… și al cui ești tu maică din Brazaville?
TV Ads
I watched some ads while living in the UK.
They were not pleasant to watch, but, still, they were rather nice.
I watch almost every year some ads from the Super Bowl.
I don’t like them too much, but, again, they’re not that bad, either.
And here comes the ads from the televisions in Romania.
There are some things on the TV which are worth watching – news, some TV shows.
But the ads that interrupt them make viewing almost impossible.
It’s hard for me to imagine how can I watch a movie on the TV.
The movie can be good, but watching the movie interrupted by ads makes it a poor experience.
And some ads are really aggressive and are around products that are sensitive.
This happens everywhere, but in Romania it’s a bit too much for my taste.
Scene cuts
In a lot of modern movies, things happen quickly. Frames go quickly, scene cuts happen a lot.
Viewer’s brain, your brain, my brain, have to go through a lot of information, in a small amount of time.
“Quick! Look here! Now, here! Faster! Faster!”.
Sometimes, this can tire the brain.
There is a rush of information in modern times.
Lots of notifications, news go fast, someone expects an answer.
What’s to do? Focus on finding solutions to calm the mind.
Self-sabotage
At times, I do have self-sabotage.
I think, to some degree, pretty much everyone does this, you can’t live a human life without experiencing it.
I don’t think there’s a huge problem with me, but, at times, I do set myself for failure.
That’s why it’s good to watch sports and get involved in competitive activities – it makes you want to win, it enhances your motivation.
Is there a solution?
The first step is acknowledging the issue.
The second?
Putting things into balance – yes, at times you’ll do self-sabotage, but it’s part of a paradox of life – you need both courage and fear, you need to take precautions and take risks, you need to be bold and to retreat, at the same time.
You need the full complexity of emotions in life, and self-sabotage can actually be healthy to some degree.
Just try and find the good measure, with this also.
Thanking by talking
I know more than a person who thinks that by talking to people you make them feel good.
There are quite a few persons who think that.
I think that, on average, people prefer to be noticed and appreciate being talked to, but there are exceptions.
Some people prefer a quiet atmosphere.
And, as hard as this might be to be accepted, some people might be annoyed by other people.
What’s the solution?
Do consider that most people prefer a conversation, but stay alert for signs that a person would prefer the conversation not to continue or even having started.
Memory associations
I think I have a poor memory, I tend to forget things.
Sometimes, my life is like a movie: Memento (2000), I need notes and procedures to know what to do.
And that’s the thing – having a poor memory forces me to think a lot.
“OK, I don’t know where this object usually goes – but where would it go?”.
It’s far more tiresome to always think – “What’s the purpose of this object – than to know it, as far as I can tell.
But, all in all, there is a solution – associations (X is related to Y, which is related to Z) and procedures (X should be done like this, following this procedure, rinse and repeat).
Did I mention how great Google Calendar is?
Despre productivitatea acasă: ești sau nu mai productiv când lucrezi acasă?
Cred că depinde de sarcini.
Dacă sunt sarcini care cer lucru individual, liniște, concentrare, cercetare – aici sunt mai productiv, acasă am un mediu mai util decât un birou deschis în care mereu se întâmplă ceva.
Dacă sunt sarcini care cer colaborare, cred că se pierd lucruri în lucrul de acasă, și lucrul la birou e net mai bun.
Însă, la finalul zilei, cred că sunt mai productiv de acasă, pentru ce fac eu (online marketing, multe lucruri tehnice).
La productivitate contează și factori mai mici – echipamentul de acasă să fie adecvat, să ai o tastatură și mouse bun, calculatorul să se miște bine, dar și factori mai mari – să ai curent și Internet tot timpul (e o problemă asta, se întrerup uneori).
Avantajul cel mai mare e dat de trei lucruri:
Pe de altă parte, să fii parte dintr-o echipă e mai greu de acasă.
