Retailers – Give your Facebook Fans FANtastic discounts at Retail World Asia 2011 and ignite a viral marketing campaign on Facebook

Taggo – Facebook Fan Recognition – is in action at the Retail World Asia 2011.

We were invited by IBM and our partner EBR to demonstrate how Taggo – Facebook Fan Recognition – can be easily installed into a IBM POS (Point of Sale) machine and be used at an retail outlet.

Simulating a fashion outlet, Jolt.F, we provide retailers the experience on how Taggo – Facebook Fan recognition – identify Facebook fans of the retailers’ Facebook Pages at the point of sale.

DSC_0013In this scenario, the “cashier” performs the regular sales transaction with the customer over the counter. Before payment, the “cashier” will ask for the customer if he is a fan of Jolt.F Facebook Page.

The customer takes out his credit/debit card, loyalty card and transit card, which he has used to register and link at the Jolt.F Facebook Page.

When the customer is recognised as a fan, the “cashier” can give the 20% discount to the fan.

But why is the retailer willing to give the customer/fan the 20% discount?

In return for the 20% discount, the fan has given permission, upon installing the Taggo app, to allow the retailer to advertise on his wall with a short status update to market to this fan’s network of friends.

The friend, attracted by the FANtastic discounts, can LIKE the status update or comment on it. This means his friends can also see the discount. If he is interested, he could also click on the JOLT.F link to join the Facebook Page. If he already has a JOLT.F loyalty card, he could link it. Otherwise, he could sign up for one.

When this fan shops and get the FANtastic discount, he also markets to his friends.

In short, Taggo turns the act of payment into the start of a viral marketing campaign initiated by a paying customer who is fan of the retailers’ Facebook Page.

Come down to the IBM booth at Retail World Asia 2011 and find out more about Taggo.

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults. However, my personal experience told another story. First, there were no announcements at the Punggol LRT stations of the train fault even though SBS Transit manages them. The train fault was reported as early as 7.10am as I had a friend who was also stuck in the train. I boarded the LRT at Coral Edge around 7.30am and I didn't hear of any announcement nor was there any signage to inform me o the train fault at Punggol Station. Second, the announcement kept saying that there would be a 15 minutes delay, but 15 minutes passed and the trains, on both side, wasn't moving. If the announcement would be more frank to say it will be a longer delay, commuters would

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9
