This mobile is a step above the old-fashioned string-and-toy mobiles of yesteryear. As the little toys turn, they spin so they are constantly looking down, into your baby’s face. The attached music box plays Chopin, Mozart, Bach, and Debussy as well as a “nature” button with birds. A remote control allows you to turn it off and on without your baby seeing you.

Colors are great this year with solids, two tones, and even polka dots. Sunglasses are a neat gift to give!

Personalized CD/DVD …
I made one of these for my best friend when she was leaving for Canada last year. I put in a couple of songs that would take her through the ten years that we know each other (Yes it included some Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys :D ). I also put in a couple of pictures of the both of us and silly videos. And needless to say, she LOVED it! Nostalgia is an amazing feeling and we women are emotional fools :) The only cost incurred was that for the blank DVD. I also made a personalized CD cover using this site for free! You upload your picture (which in my case was a collage of our pictures), add a title, add some text and click on Create! Pretty basic but it does the job!

2009 Holiday Shopping Trends – Top 20

Posted on December 19, 2009 by shoppersglobe| Leave a comment

Timing Will Matter
Don’t expect the same kind of drastic price cuts you saw last December: With the National Retail Federation forecasting that shoppers will spend 3.2 percent less than they did in last year’s dismal season, retailers have purchased less inventory for holiday 2009.

Customers Are Pickier
If you’ve got a slimmed-down shopping list this holiday season, you’re not alone. “The upper hand is with the consumer, there’s no doubt,” said James Russo, vice president of global consumer insights at market research giant Nielsen. “There is a whole adjustment around the holiday mind-set. It’s not always about more.”

Stores Pushing Gift Cards
Here at MoneyWatch, we’re not big fans of gift cards. Drawbacks can include fees and usage restrictions, and some gift givers find them too impersonal. Yet shoppers are buying more of them than ever, said Russo. In Nielsen’s 2009 Holiday Season Forecast, shoppers in 8 percent of U.S. households planned to spend more on gift cards this holiday season — even as overall consumer sales are expected to be down from last year.

Walmart Calls the Shots
Even if you’ve never set foot inside the big-box megaretailer, you should know what Walmart is up to — because this holiday season in particular, Walmart is calling the tune for industrywide sales and promotions. Already the world’s largest retailer, the chain has gained new customers and clout in the current downturn; now it’s using its position to launch price wars that have drawn in a range of other stores.

There’s No iPhone
Last year, it was Nintendo’s Wii. The year before that, it was the iPhone. For the past few shopping seasons, there’s been a clear must-have gift item dominating Santa’s wish lists. Consumer Reports’ Marks points out that some consumers last year actually purchased their Wii systems on eBay — and paid as much as 50 percent more than the list price.

Mark It Down and They Will Come
Not surprisingly, the end-of-year clearance sales started well before the Halloween candy-corn got moved to the sale bins.

Let’s Be Practical
We’re all tough customers this year. A total of 86% of shoppers surveyed say they won’t buy anything without a 20% discount, and a quarter will demand at least half off.

Free Is Good
On the Internet, consumers will be deluged with commercial messages this year, delivered by every trendy new means the marketers can get their hands on. This year, that means they’re sprucing up Facebook pages, firing out Tweets, and preparing commercial blogs and RSS feeds designed to lure customers into their stores, online and brick-and-mortar.

Candy Is Better
When it comes to frills, consumers say they’ll make do with less this year. They’ll use the holiday ornaments they already have in the closet. They plan to spend less than in past years on decorations, flowers, greeting cards, and postage.

Small Is Best
Electronics are on the American shopping list, as always. But this year, people are thinking small. Not necessarily cheap, just small. Not wide-screen televisions or expensive sound systems. Clever little things that go “beep.”

Browse ‘Til You Drop
The big-box discounter is the top destination for holiday shoppers this year, but it’s not the only one. More than half say they’ll also shop at department stores, and four in 10 intend to holiday shop at grocery stores and on the Internet. Could be a big year for Amazon (AMZN).

Where’s the Bright Spot?
Retailers hope and expect that their 2009 holiday season results will be far better than in 2008.But that’s setting the bar pretty low. Overall, 2009 holiday same-store sales are expected to rise about 1%, compared with last year’s decline of 5.8%, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers.

Home and Hearth
The year-end holidays traditionally are among the busiest travel seasons of the year.

This year, not so much.
More than one-fourth of Americans surveyed say that concerns over the economy are forcing them to travel less or not at all this season.

What’s In It for Us?
After all we’ve been through in the past year and more, many trend-spotters believe the “back to basics” concept may actually be a reality this time. That offers the prospect of a holiday that’s a bit less stressful and a little more fun for anybody over the age of 12.

How online classified sites evolved over time?

Posted on October 12, 2009 by shoppersglobe| Leave a comment

Here I am going to discuss about how classified sites are evolving from last ten years. What is classified advertising in news papers and how it has been changing after the evolution of internet? How people are using internet effectively for their classified advertising and how classified sites owners are attracting the user by adding new features and what are those new features and so on…

Classified advertising or classified ads, it is a form of advertising usually contains few lines of text containing details like ad description and contact information. Different from other types of advertisement classified ads do not contain any pictures. It’s different from standard advertising in that it allows not only companies or corporate entities, but to individuals as well, to actually be able to reach out to an audience and promote for business.

There are several types of free classified ads, including text ads, where people sell items and which are charged by the column width, which are charged per word, and columns.

Classified advertising in news papers:

News paper classifieds or printed classifieds: In the past if a person wants to advertise their product or services in news papers it was a hectic process. First the people who want to advertise may need to take appointment from news paper agent to discuss about his advertisement and if all their terms and conditions are satisfied then they publish the advertisement. It is cost effective and also time consuming process and users may not see good returns from this.

There are so many disadvantages with printed classifieds and here are some

  • Cost effective
  • Time consuming process
  • There is space constraint
  • Fewer inquiries about advertisement
  • Do not contains pictures but some times logos may available
  • These will reach only people who buy the news papers
  • Only available to small geographical regions

Internet has made the world a smaller place rendering it accessible for anyone with a computer to search for anything at their desire. With the invention of the Internet, classified advertising, like many other printed media, has progressed online.

Nowadays internet has become part of life. Today people are leading very busy life and are not having the time to advertise their classifieds in news papers. Online classifieds it is very easy process to advertise products without wasting any time and money. With the explosion of internet, print advertisement is practically dead. Unfortunately, hundreds of classifieds sites are available to list your advertisement but only thing you must know the good classified sites and where to place ad for maximum benefit.

Internet classified ads are accessible by much wider audience than the traditional print classified ads. This has made longer ads that are less expensive with a popular way to advertise.

Advantages of internet classifieds:

  • Online classified ads are generally far less expensive than running a print ad. I.e. Most of the sites are offering this service with free of cost.
  • Provide a full page (the size of your monitor screen) display of ads
  • You can include images, graphics or logos to your advertisements
  • Internet classifieds are available to entire world (where internet is available)

  • Users are able to sell their products within days after posting ads (i.e. more inquiries)
  • Placing a link in a online classified ad can help people to learn more about the item being sold or advertised.
  • This can give readers far more information about the item than a print ad.

Find Your Dream Job using Online Job Search for Indian Users

Posted on September 2, 2009 by shoppersglobe| 2 Comments

In earlier days a person who wanted to find job had to buy a news paper and read the classified ads section then had to print out hard copy of resume and send them out. If some one calls you, it’s ok but most of the times there was no reply. It was a hectic process and all done by manually.

But now a day’s job finding is very different. You can do everything online. Many new websites and applications are released to manage and help the job searching process. Most of the job sites will require a person to open an account and fill necessary information and save it.

Usually these sites asks for the information like persons name, age, contact number, Email id ,and educational background also other information they will be requested for employment history like work experience, previous company where you had work and job description and also one thing has to mention is salary the person is receiving both in the current and previous jobs.

In today’s tough economic times more and more people are searching online to find alternative income sources. So there are many free job websites are available in most of the world cities and towns for internet users.

The below are list of some free job websites:

1) Naukri
2) AdsGlobe.com Jobs
3) Monster
4) Times jobs

Like this we have some hundred’s of sites in internet. These sites offer various jobs not only to professionals but also for teenagers or students who want to work either for part time, full time or on a per project basis and also for home maids who want to work in free time, for employer’s who want to work from home.

Among those hundred’s of sites I would recommend for the site AdsGlobe.com. Why because this site is having features like:

1) They give you access to an extensive database of job opportunities across the world. You can search by country, state and city, and view everything that is posted.
2) Search by date posted
3) Video resume posting
4) Resume posting on the job search site where employers can search resumes that match their requirements.
5) You can apply directly for the job through this site if posted job requirements fit your skills.

There are many jobs available in the market. It just takes a little effort on one’s part to sit down in front of a computer and look for your dream job
