I was recently made ​​by an email from Alex preis.de of attention to their Christmas campaign. The action is top notch, let me briefly explain why sometimes (and hence why I'm writing about it):

Everyone has the opportunity to do good:
Preis.de declared that they will donate for each blog article which reported on the action, five euros to the SOS Children's Villages. Each of these bloggers because one can win 500 € Amazon voucher or 15x € 10 Amazon vouchers.

So far so good, Preis.de benefit of incoming links and attention, disadvantaged children are helped and bloggers can win something. In addition to donating 50 cents for every platform on preis.de written opinion about a product.

This is with the donations so such a thing. On the one hand, it is unfortunate that many people think of Christmas to your donations, or similar, on the other hand, donations always a good thing - no matter when you do it. Therefore, even my little contribution to the action. Preis.de thumbs up! Anyone willing to place all information in preis.de blog .

So, because of all the happy times!

After the Death Star in Stuttgart has almost broken through the Swabian Viral light wall (over 3 million views on Youtube), gives the same now on "schwenglisch" So Swabian-English

Whether the new clip rankommt to the first is rather unlikely. Still a must-see for those who like the original!

Here the famous "Viral marketing in Stuttgart Death Star":

And here for direct comparison to Denglisch uh ... schwenglisch so Swabian English:

Denglish is here to stay and more and more rooted in our language. In the office we are not officers, but "manager", our brands have an "image", our products have a "benefit", we are "briefed" our agency, our actions "push" campaigns, we generate 'leads', we track " "the" return on investment "and on Friday I come from" casual ".

In the private sector "adden" we are adding new contacts in various "communities", send "messages" to speak on the "mailbox" read "feeds" and take the "Cam" to the "boarding" with. We make "work-out" to eat "fast food", go to "Events" and hold "small talk". We read "Best Seller" books, bear "stylish", "designer" clothes, "zap" with the remote control and even if we do nothing, then "" we chill!

How do I get it? I've just seen the following movies, which keeps us pretty aware of how our everyday life but crammed with English words and how "cool" but so many "oldschool" stuff is ... such as a simple newspaper Have fun with "How cool is that?"

In mid-2008 after I had given my previous web pages due to time constraints, I realized quickly that I can not live without and so I was - after a perceived eternity - again decided to set up a new weblog. www.zielgruppe-ich.de on 3 Born in March 2009. I resolved to write down everything that I felt from a marketing standpoint, as a "write value" and what I wanted to show from the perspective of a consumer, therefore, "to a marketer, for other consumer" or the other way around. As it is with the good intentions for next year, I have not kept to this course. Although I have kept the topics, but makes my date, much to be desired, especially in summer. So I've actually managed to write in the months August, September and October, not a single article. Shame!

These numbers are now so let's say modestly. Still, it makes me proud that I have this set up with minimal effort. I have many ideas for articles for the coming year. I am also determined to rebuild this one or the other. It is "only" a hobby - a hobby but also must be set very high standards

The year is coming to an end. Time for a small summary regarding the target group-ich.de.

In mid-2008 after I had given my previous web pages due to time constraints, I realized quickly that I can not live without and so I was - after a perceived eternity - again decided to set up a new weblog.

Target group on 3-ich.de Born in March 2009. I resolved to write down everything that I felt from a marketing standpoint, as a "write value" and what I wanted to show from the perspective of a consumer, therefore, "to a marketer, for other consumer" or the other way around. As it is with the good intentions for next year, I have not kept to this course. Although I have kept the topics, but makes my date, much to be desired, especially in summer. So I've actually managed to write in the months August, September and October, not a single article. Shame!

For one, I am going with my desire for this site just to write articles on the topics that interest me, what do I do in most cases, in which I write about advertising, brands and gadgets. But I would like to enlighten you. So I raise my opinions in n forth like positives, however, to denounce negative. Secondly, I consider this blog as well as a little experiment, I say openly and honestly. It has ansich Besides writing and the fun of WordPress, three major goals.

• First, I want my online reputation even in your hand. Christian Koch, there are many. A lot. This name was probably a few more years combined very popular. I think it's more important, to be found quickly. And if you find me, please do so in an appropriate environment - and that is my blog, and not some outdated profile page at a party or on Youtube.
• Second, the blogosphere offers excellent space for communication and networking. I very much can learn from successful bloggers. I comment on you and look forward each time anew, even if I get feedback.
• Thirdly, I would like to learn from the development of my blogs. For example, regarding the rankings. Current SEO views interest me. Unfortunately I have little time and leisure to more than just a fraction of the tips have to implement. But it has never harmed stay on the ball.

I have a blog so since birth five times through March seitwert.de analyzed:

In recent years I have watched my friends communicated more through social networks. After three days ago I had a birthday, I've even taken the trouble to draw up a list of all congratulations, structured by means of transfer. If the number of people I do not einbereche, which I have personally shaken the hand (16 persons), then I come to the following statement:

• 4 letters came by post,
• 3 congratulations I received on my private email address
• 3 by e-mail address on my business
• 24 people have me on the MeinVZ - written notice board,
• 16 on my Facebook - Wall
• 5 congratulations message and fluttered as MeinVZ
• 1 Congratulations via Facebook - message pure,
• Two calls came from landline (private) and
• 2 phone calls via landline (office)
• 6 people shouted at me in this regard on the phone and
• 7 wrote me a text message.

The result is clear! Faced by 72 people who do not face-to-face, only 4% have written by post, 24% used the telephone (landline or mobile as a call or SMS) and gross 72% chose the Internet as a delivery channel. Of these 72% (52 people) who congratulated me on the internet, just 12% took advantage of the good old email, and the remaining 88% of advertised via Social Networks!

Which brings me to the question of how many social networks do I need? Read the rest of this entry »

This question I ask myself for a few days! A few weeks ago my blog was using Google Blog Search is not found. Therefore, I have the feed address of my blog quickly sent manually to be included in the blog index. A few days later, my contributions were also listed in the search results! Cool, I am pleased! Since then, I look after almost every post in the blog search and see if the item is already listed. For this I click on the Google Blog Search on "Advanced Blog Search" and type in "at this URL" the URL of my blog. So www.zielgruppe-ich.de. The search results will show all items collected in time series (the most recent articles above). Normally, I am surprised and amazed at how quickly my articles appear in the Google Blog search.

Since Monday, but no longer. On Monday I wrote an article on two books, which are strongly with the themes of the Internet, Google and the resulting opportunities and risks. The word Google is more often than in my other articles. Now - to get to the point - this article is still not shown up in the results from Google's Blog Search.

But there's something wrong. I must ask myself the question whether Google reserves treat various articles and pages that Google (or the word "Google" relatively often have), take a close look at before and not so quickly be incorporated into the index.

I should keep quite, this article will probably not be so quick to find. At least on the blog search. Then I put all hope in the new "miracle engine"

T-Mobile apologizes for the power failure is well known by the free sms service: contract and prepaid customers can send this Sunday (0-24 Clock) free SMS to all German networks!

I must say that I'm impressed. The private customer like me, who had no financial loss by the network failure is, this exemplary action! And for me this action is called as follows: Since I've recently launched a new mobile number, I use the "Free Sunday" to my contacts via SMS to inform you about my new number. So far I have, except for a few exceptions, only my contacts via email, Facebook and co. informed, and who knows how often and whether these messages are checked.

My old number I used in conjunction with a prepaid card from maXXim (I have taken the time my number from Vodafone). Since I have no monthly fees yes, I keep them still for a while as a substitute number and cell phone. So I was glad that I still had it, as the T-Mobile network was down. But "stop", I thought as I out on Tuesday from the telecom store ran. The woman in the T-store but said that T-Mobile network is probably down completely! And maXXim but also uses the D-net (maXXim is not somehow related by the subsidiaries of Telekom?). But lo and behold, it worked! Meanwhile, we know that not all connections / numbers were affected by the outage.

And now the great news for all prepaid users (via teltarif.de and chip.de ):

Meanwhile, in the meantime also the most service-providers and discounters in the T-Mobile network closed the action of the operator.

This allows prepaid customers to write the following on Sunday vendor free SMS:

• mobile call, clearly mobile (even here also users of the O2 network!)
• mobilcom-debitel (for all users of a contract in the T-Mobile network)
• Drillisch Alphatel with the brands, as well as Telco and Victorvox maXXim, simply, simply, free Penny Mobile and yes! Mobile

Since prevention is better than cure, of course, should any before and after the first SMS to retrieve the status of the credit and check whether the fact is! Have fun while typing!

That was me just say, when I ran furiously into the T-Mobile store because my new phone is no power more ...

The seller said that the network had broken down nationwide and we'll fix it until about 19 or 20 clock. Incredibly, there was such a thing before? I can at least do not remember it.

Clock 18:54 Edit: Apparently it failed almost nationwide. Here on Lake Constance, the network is still not definitely be back intact
