Organisation’s Name:  Cumulus Shop at Wheelock
Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/Cumulus.Online
Campaign Title: Retailer with a single shop gets 1 million word of mouth impressions among friends of customers.
Launch Date: 21 January 2012

Cumulus offers 5% for registered Fans.
Cumulus is at 501 Orchard Road #02-14 
Wheelock Place 

Cumulus was looking for a way to reward their existing Facebook Fan base. They launched the Cumulus Fan Club, offering fans a 5% discount on all items. A special Valentine’s Day promotion was also launched, offering fans a 10% discount on selected items. Cumulus chose to have Taggo installed in their Windows Point-Of-Sales machine to allow their cashiers easy access to Taggo’s fan recognition feature alongside the POS application.

How does it work?

Customers visit Cumulus and see posters enticing them with the benefit to join the Fan Club. Customers scan a QR code or enter the given URL (http://taggo.me/Cumulus.Online) to like the page and register their mobile phone number. Customers then tell the cashier their mobile number and the cashier enters it into the Taggo POS application. Once identified as a fan, the cashier gives the customer their Fan Club discount.

What were the results? 


In the month of February, 184 fans of Cumulus checked in to enjoy their fan discount. The stories published by each check-in generated a total of 909,539 story impressions, entirely among friends, and a total of 377 friends clicked on the check-in story to learn more about Cumulus.

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
