Normally, when you think of marketing in a business, you would think of advertisements on large billboards, dazzling television commercials and advertising on websites. However, one thing in common with all these marketing avenues is that they require costly fees. For a small, locally-based business, it is simply not feasible for it to pay for this expensive marketing. As a result, small businesses often find it difficult to compete with large, multinational businesses for consumer mindspace. Is there a way in which smaller businesses can effectively market to consumers without incurring huge fees?

One new and innovative solution to this conundrum is FlipNpik! FlipNpik is an online collaborative social media platform that aims to connect local businesses with their customers. Consumers can view local businesses in the geographical area and choose whether or not to follow them. After following said businesses, consumers can interact with the business by liking, saving or sharing their posts. They can even write reviews and articles and publish them on the profile of the businesses. These positive actions help to provide a cheap yet effective marketing campaign for these businesses.

In return for helping the businesses, users can be rewarded with Flip Social which are reward points that can be used on the platform to play games, redeem exclusive offers and, for a limited period, even be converted to FlipNpik tokens. FlipNpik tokens is a utility token that is used to purchase goods and services and can even be converted to fiat currency via cryptocurrency exchanges. Hence, with these incentives, users would be more willing to help raise the visibility of their favourite businesses.

Businesses can also choose to work more closely with their top followers by entering into an ambassador partner relationship with them. Users who help the business recruit at least 3 active users can pay a deposit of 500 tokens to have ambassador partner status with the business. The FlipNpik platform will provide support tools to these partners to enable them to effectively boost the online presence of the partnered businesses. For doing so, these partners are entitled to 20% of the budget allocated by the business for premium services on the FlipNpik platform.

As you can see, FlipNpik is both a cheap yet useful way for smaller businesses to market to their customers. With its focus on the local economy, FlipNpik provides a platform for small, local businesses to hold their own against large, multinational juggernauts. This unconventional marketing strategy helps to level the playing field and provide equal opportunity to all businesses, even if they are small.

In the past decade, the advent of cryptocurrencies has led some people to believe that the end of physical fiat currency is here. Cryptocurrencies have promised to remove middlemen like banks and financial institutions and provide an avenue for secure and anonymous transactions. However, as of now, nothing has appeared to change. Big banks still rule the financial world, and you would be lucky if you are able to find a physical store that actually accepts cryptocurrency as a payment mode. So how can we push cryptocurrencies into the mainstream consciousness?

One potential answer to this is Elysian, an ecommerce platform that incorporates the use of cryptocurrencies. In Elysian, clients have the ability to build their online stores on top of the platform and take advantage of all the added functionality that Elysian has to offer. The Elysian platform is able to perform its role as a intermediary between its clients and their target customer demographic. In addition, not only is the Elysian platform open to merchants, third-party agencies with their own set of clients can piggyback onto the platform as well by hosting their client’s platforms on Elysian.

So why would these ecommerce companies switch to the Elysian platform? Firstly, Elysian provides improved security using Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology enables Elysian to have an immutable public ledger of transactions and other data which prevents anyone from tampering with it. The decentralized nature of Blockchain also splits sensitive data across multiple servers, ensuring that there is no single point of vulnerability in the Elysian platform. Additionally, with the Ethereum Blockchain, there is a smart contract system in place. Smart contracts are code that is designed to execute the terms of a contract autonomously without the need for an intermediary. The smart contract in the Elysian platform is audited to ensure the highest level of security. Secondly, Elysian is able to provide consumers with a great user experience. Elysian uses artificial intelligence and virtual reality to provide highly-tailored and customisable shopping experiences. This raises the level of user engagement that ecommerce sites have with their customers. These two critical selling points provide an incentive for ecommerce companies to switch to Elysian.

On the Elysian platform, the cryptocurrency token ELYCOIN (ELY) is the preferred mode of transaction. ELYCOINs are ERC20 tokens that are based on the Ethereum blockchain and they are able to replace other intermediaries. As the Elysian platform will be able to build up a sizable clientbase, this would result in many companies adopting and using ELYCOINs in their businesses. This would also result in consumers taking up the cryptocurrency for their shopping needs as well.

I genuinely feel that Elysian can be the push that the ecommerce industry needs to fully embrace the idea of cryptocurrencies. With Elysian, paying with cryptocurrencies becomes normalized, making it equivalent to buying things online with your credit or debit card. Exciting times lie ahead for the Elysian and the ecommerce industry!

6 sides to a dice? Think again!

Rolling into the market is DICE, a form of digital cash that promises to bring an imaginative dimension to cryptocurrencies.

DICE, an acronym for DIgital CErtificates, is a new cryptocurrency crowdfunding platform that revolutionises blockchain technology, particularly the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) fundraising method.

The traditional ICO approach is beset by cost inefficiencies and is predominantly adopted in fintech start-ups, posing a disadvantage to companies who specialise in producing tangibles, such as those in manufacturing or robotics.

Initial DICE Offering (IDO) tackles this difficulty by developing a pioneering and user-friendly “Cluster Model” economy, effectively allowing every business, non-profit organisation and individual to assume the role of an operator.

As depicted above, synergy between miners and operators is of utmost importance. Although miners in the DICE economy provide the computing power to generate valid DICE units of 1024 bits (128 bytes) each, operators need to certify the accuracy of the transaction before miners can be rewarded with coins. For every new DICE that is mined, the operator of the specific network also increases in capital value.

Hence, the Cluster Model encourages the establishment of a social economy through Investment Mining. With the prerogative to choose whichever operator to work for, like-minded individuals can be pooled together in fundraising efforts for specific businesses or worthy causes while mining for coins independently.

Moreover, transaction fees are eliminated in the system given a divergent incentivisation framework. In the DICE economy, miners are driven to create new DICE units that can be used in exchange for goods and services while the benefit for operators lie in the amalgamation of DICE units that can be used as collaterals to forge future deals. Besides, with the model predicated on a mass of disjointed nodes, massive parallelisation and extensive scalability of the data throughput can be materialised.

Furthermore, in consideration of hacks happening globally and investors losing their capital, security of the system has become one of the topmost priorities of users. DICE is able to plug the gap by offering a new communication protocol which makes hacking virtually impossible.

Such reliability arises as DICE synthesises the advantages of both traditional fiat and digital currency. With digital wallets and exchange networks absent in its infrastructure, storage of DICE can take place literally anywhere- that is to say, printed DICE cash in physical wallets or DICE files in USB flash drives. As such, retrieving useful data for hackers would akin to looking for a needle in a haystack, lowering the susceptibility of DICE to privacy breaches.
