You must be living in a cave if up to this point you don’t know what emojis are and how to use them (in that case, better check out this emoji guide now). Emojis are so popular that there’s even a “World Emoji Day,” celebrated on July 17 every year.

This trailblazing font technology is making a significant impact on how we express emotions and ideas.

Emojis are graphic and fun-to-use that they are not only being used today in tweets and texts but also emails and article writing. So, if you want to learn more about emojis, let’s dig deeper into why they are important, especially in this digital age.

Emojis are Good for Business:

Approximately 65 percent of emoji users asked in this study are willing to use emojis when making a purchase. Now, brands are riding the tide on this godsend business opportunity.

They want to grab customers’ attention by incorporating emojis into their marketing. For instance, Domino’s now allowed its customers to order pizza by texting a emoji.

The study also found that 58 percent of people using emojis are more inclined to open an email that contains an emoji in its subject line. And around 44 percent of the people surveyed are more likely to buy stuff from brands that use emojis in their advertisement.

Use of Emojis Contribute to Positive Perception in the Workplace:

If you are afraid to use emojis while you’re on duty, it’s time to change your attitude. Approximately 61 percent of emoji users asked in the same survey mentioned above use emojis at work. And the majority of them think that emoji use increases likeability, credibility, and positivity in the workplace.

These numbers are proof that the continued rise in popularity of emojis encourages more and more people to use emojis in personal and business communication.

Emojis Overcome Communication Barriers:

One of the most significant factors why people use emojis is that they are an excellent communication tool to express their ideas and emotions. It also shows that the use of emojis overcome language barriers and the generational gap among users.

A large part of emoji users also believes that using emojis contributes to the positive mood of digital conversation. In relation to this finding, the three most favorite emojis used by a lot of people are , and . Moreover, these folks think that emoji users are friendly and approachable people.

The capacity of emojis to bridge the communication gap among users and instantly express their ideas and emotions is indeed impressive. Interestingly, an increasing number of people are more at ease communicating their thoughts and feelings through emojis than phone calls.

Emoji Use Enhances Storytelling:

Social media is flooded with emojis nowadays. This is only understandable given the fact that emoji use significantly enhances storytelling, and social media is a place where people share their everyday stories. Moreover, emojis are images, and using images is a more convenient and effective way to express what you have in mind.

Ordinary people, celebrities, and brands tap the capability of emojis in telling a story. The comic Jordan Peele proved this interesting feature of this new font technology by recreating the story of the movie “The Shining” using emojis. Even the news giant BBC also incorporates emojis in writing their headlines.

Emojis Help Your Message Stand Out:

A business expert once said that the experience created by a brand to its target audience helps define the image of that brand. The better the experiences of the people targeted by the marketing campaign, the higher the chances of attracting new customers and keeping them loyal.

Using emojis in this era where attention spans of most people are rapidly dropping is a smart marketing approach. If you incorporate emojis in your marketing campaign, you can assure that it will stand out. It’s because emojis deliver your message instantly with its eye-catching graphics.

Takeaway:

The use of emojis is indeed one of the biggest cultural phenomena in this digital age. They offer a host of benefits that can enhance the way we share our thoughts and feelings.

Retail business is based on the set of essential principles designed to ensure the business’s financial health and sustainability. Relevant predictions, calculations, and accurate forecasts for future sales are the other essential elements used by retailers to reach strategic goals.

Retail business is also dependent on effective supply chain management practices. However, in the age of personalized shopping experience, the level of customer needs’ satisfaction remains the crucial factor underlying the retailer’s success.

Sustainable supply chain management relies on the use of smart data which is crucial for sales forecasts. The latter, in turn, help retailers to meet customers’ expectations and reach business goals.

One of the biggest challenges for retailers is to find the right blend of stock level to satisfy as many customers as possible without losing sales.

In this regard, several crucial KPIs are used and the service level for retailers is one of the most important ones. The service level is used across many industries, yet in retail and inventory management it remains one of the most impactful considerations while planning.

What is the Service Level?

Service level is a measurement used by retailers to make sure that the particular level of service is delivered to their customers.

Customers’ shopping experiences are the game-changing aspects in retail along with market demands, supply and stock maintenance. And the question arises on how to keep customers satisfied and delighted with your retailing. Well, the answer lies in the service level calculations and their right use.

In simple words, service level specifies the number of customers left pleased with the retailing services. As we all know, converting your every customer into a satisfied customer is a challenging task. Therefore, we need to calculate the ration and amount of satisfied ones out of dissatisfied customers. In this way, the service level could be determined, tracked, and improved.

How to Calculate Service Level:

The formula used for calculating service level is:

Service level = the number of quantities delivered in time / the total quantity of demand

The most common way to calculate the service level is to determine the correlation between the demand of customers and qualities delivered to them by retailers.

However, the calculation can be varied because it depends upon the factors like market segment industry type and retail business type as well.

However, for stocks and inventory, the formula will change a little bit like the quantity delivered/ the quantity in demand.  Also for the frequency of stock-outs, the formula would involve the number of orders delivered/ the total number of orders.

Wherever you need to calculate service level just put the successful deliveries on top and divide them with total opportunities to please the customers.

What does the Service Level show?

Most of the time, the service level is the mention of no-hitting the probability of each opportunity even when it was possible. The formula shows the total number of successful deliveries needed to hit a particular service level.

In other words, the category shows the number of successes a retailer needs to achieve.

It also marks how much you have got out of the market demand. Or how much value you as a retailer provided to your customers. More service level is, the larger the number of satisfied customers you have.

Also, the service level can be used for future forecasting as a benchmark. Because the denominator is the total number of demand or total of everything your customer needs. You just have to enhance the performance of the nominator by providing the requested services.

Today many entrepreneurs are starting their businesses online. It is easy because what you need to do – just to build your website and start selling your products. Firstly, before you start a business online you have to decide the most important things – you need page speed or beautiful design. Maybe you need both in one page.

All depends on your website, but be aware when you are choosing the plan you want to work on. You have to decide what to choose – Shared Hosting or VPS plan?

In this article I want to introduce the main differences between shared hosting and VPS hosting. What should you do before starting selling your services or products online.

Build your own Website

If you just started a new business you need a business website. Did you know that you can build a beautiful website in one hour without any programming or technical skills.

Hostens company offers an incredible free website builder to create a stunning website of your dream. 

You can just watch a tutorial video and try to build it by yourself. Free versions has more than 200 templates so I am sure you will choose which one best suits your business.

It is very easy to use without any computer knowledge. It has e – commerce features so you can easily start a e-com business and start selling your products today.

Shared vs. VPS Main Differences

1. Resources

Shared hosting is just what is sounds like. There’s a lot of sharing going on and in many aspects. One them are resources such as bandwidth and performance materials. 

As you host your website using a shared hosting option, you share the data with every website that’s on the same server. So, if your “neighbor” gets more traffic than usual, expect your own site to start lagging. While it’s by far the cheapest option, it’s the most dependent on others.

A VPS option, on the other hand, is a far more flexible option than a shared one. In this case you get to host your website on a server with only a few of the others. 

While the price is significantly higher, it’s a far better for those looking to have more control over their resource management and having better performance in general.

In summary: a VPS hosting prices has a more expensive option, but can offer more resources and far less limitations when it comes to available performance data for use.

Then again, if you’re website is small and acts more as a business card (more for presentation than functionality) a shared option will be more than enough..

2. Functionality and Performance

You can probably guess but more resources means more flexible performance and functionality. With a shared hosting option you only get us as much performance as your hosting provider allows you to have. If they have don’t have SSDs or up-to-date caching software, you’re website might struggle in terms of speed.

Considering that other website’s on the same server will consume some resources for their own performance needs, this economical option might not work for you.

With VPS, on the other hand you’ll get better optimized resources and more flexibility with your website applications. If a need arises for multiple websites, than a VPS is the only viable option out of these two, that’s without question.

In summary: more dedicated resources for you means more stable performance and functionality, so the VPS option is the way to go. However, if you value ease of management and don’t need much performance a shared hosting option could be better since it’s much cheaper.

3. Data and Security

While a shared option is great for those who don’t need much resources and don’t want to spend much on hosting it can put your website at a security risk. In fact, you end up relying entirely on what your hosting provider has setup for security.

Even though shared hosting is a safe option, you cannot count out the risk of a breach. Let’s say one of your neighbors gets attacked or hacked, your website might suffer from decreased functionality since you all share the same machine.

Most VPS options on the other hand offer much better safety features that are only available if you buy this option.

In summary: while shared hosting is fairly safe, you risk loosing functionality in case of a breach, thus resulting in potential business losses. If you have sensitive data that needs additional protection, consider a VPS option.

To Summarize

Now you know the main differences between Shared Hosting and VPS. They both can work differently, but what you have to do is ascertain your goals.

You have to decide you want to pay more or less money, get more or less functions. After you find out all the details of your dream website then start work and attract your potential customers.

Transformers are important electrical components that require proper care and maintenance. With proper maintenance, you can be sure of performance, durability, and efficiency. Plus, you could’ve done away with unnecessary repair costs. So, how do you maintain your power transformer?

Well, it starts with understanding the common power transformer devices. Understanding this device will help you recognize all things oil transformer protection.

On these lines, here are common power transformer devices. Plus, you will learn how using the TranSwitcher can help you maintain your transformer for improved efficiency and durability.

The Basics

Power transformer protection entails two types of devices. They include:

Measuring devices—these are devices that can be used to measure electrical quantities that affect the transformer

Status devices—these are devices that indicate the actual status of the transformer—especially when it comes to the physical quantities of the unit.

The Protraction Devices

The following are common protection devices for your transformer:

• Buchholz (Gas) Relay and Pressure Relay
• Winding Thermometer and Oil Level Monitor Device

Buchholz (Gas) Relay

As a powerful mechanical based fault detector, the Buchholz protection is used in oil-immersed transformers to offer protection.

This Buchholz (gas) relay, which is normally placed in between the oil conserver and the transformer’s main tank, plays a key role in ensuring that the transformer is adequately protected.

However, to achieve reliable operation, you must incline the conservator pipe. It’s also important to note that there is a bypass pipe that allows the Buchholz relay to be taken out of service.

As a fast as well as sensitive fallout based detector, the Buchholz (gas) relay doesn’t depend on the transformer windings. It operates independently.

It also works independently of tap changer position as well as instrument transformers. For instance, when the tap changer position is on tank type, it should have its own Buchholz (gas) tap changer.

Normally, a Buchholz protection should have a pivoted float and a pivoted vane. While the float is tasked with carrying one mercury switch, the vane is dedicated to transporting a different mercury switch. Usually, oil is used to fill the casing while the mercury switches are left open.

Dealing with Minor Faults

When a minor fault arises in the transformer, it’s assumed that gases will arise from the location of the fault within the transformer itself. Here, the gas will bubble up—passing through the conservator’s main pupping.

What happens is that the Buchholz protection casing will tap the gab bubbles. What this means is that the oil in the casing will be replaced by the gas in the Buchholz protection casing.

If the oil levels fall further, it will trigger the float (F)—causing the tilting of the mercury switch. Consequently, the alarm circuit will be closed.

Dealing with Major Faults

A major fault might also occur within the transformer. This can occur to the earth’s windings. Major faults usually produce large amounts of gas—typically more than 50 cm3/ (kWs). Also, oil vapor can also be produced. It’s important to note that the oil vapor cannot escape.

This results in the production of a steep pressure buildup—which results in the displacement of the oil. Consequently, there is a rapid flow from the unit to the conservator.

As a result, a trip circuit is closed by a mercury switch. Fault location and fault current magnitude will hugely influence the trip contact’s operating time.

According to various simulated tests, the operation time ranges from 0.050 to 0.10 seconds. Thus ensure that the operating time doesn’t go beyond 0.3 seconds.

Pressure Relay

Most power transformers featuring on-tank-type based tap changers come with pressure protection that handles the separate tap-based changer oil compartment. With this feature, it’s possible to detect a sudden pressure increase in the changer oil enclosure.

If the piston pressure exceeds the spring counterforce, the piston moves the switching contacts. It’s important to note that the switching unit’s microswitch has been sealed hermetically.

It is also pressurized with a high level of nitrogen gas. If an internal fault occurs in the transformer, an overpressure will be detected in the transformer tank.

A frangible disk—one of the pressure relief devices on the market—is used. Thus relieving as well as pressure limiting prevents explosive raptures and fires of the transformer tank.

Why Transformer Protection

A transformer is an important device. It’s a costly investment. That’s why you need to understand basic transformer protection devices.

Understanding the basics of transformer protection principles will enable you to protect your transformer from overloads. It will also protect your transformer from winding failures resulting from short-circuiting.

It will also protect your transformer from core faults. This includes core insulation failures and short laminations. Also, problems like on-load tap charger based failures can be avoided with proper transformer protection.

Protection helps keep fires at bay. Even more, they enhance the performance and reduce the power wattage of your transformer

Oil Level Monitor Based Device

Transformers featuring oil conservators—also known as expansion tanks—are often fitted with oil level monitors. These monitors are equipped with two monitors. The first contact is reserved for max oil level based alarm.

The second one is dedicated to the min oil level alarm. A top-oil thermometer is equipped with a bulb in the transformer’s top. Normally, any transformer can have from 1-4 contacts. These contacts tend to close sequentially as temperature increases.

These contacts also help to start the fans that force the cooling process to start. The third contact is used to trigger an alarm. On the other hand, the fourth contact is effective in setting up trip load breakers. This contact also helps re-energize the transformer.

The Bottom-Line

Transformer protection is important for various reasons. First, it boosts the efficiency of the transformer. This cuts energy costs. Second, it enhances the durability of the transformer. Lastly, it boosts your transformer’s performance.

It’s also important to note that understanding different transformer devices will help you protect it better. The above information will help you understand all things transformer protection.

Building a strong personal brand is all about engaging and attracting the right audience for the products and services you offer. For these reasons, a strong brand is essential for your business to stand out from competitors and attract a solid customer base.

However, many companies have no idea how to go about building their brand to strengthen your business. Below are key steps you can take that will prove useful

1. Define Who You Are

To unlock the potential of your brand, start by creating a personal brand identity. To do this, you must first define what your business is all about.

Ask yourself who you are and what your vision is?  What is the type of product or service you want to foster, and what is the relevant audience?

By defining what your aim is and who you are, you are better able to understand what you should do and the steps that will take you there.

2. Own Your Name

With the online business platform growing exponentially, one aspect of garnering recognition is starting your branding blog. To fully unlock this potential, start by owning your brand name in URL.

By starting your website, you have the power of controlling your image and hence the perception you have as a business brand.

Ensure that you keep it active for a professional outlook.  If you still aren’t sure how to build your website, buy the domain name as you deliberate what you will do with it down the line.

3. Have A Consistent Content Marketing Strategy

A significant mistake that many people do is expecting instantaneous results when building a brand.  Often, this is in the case of building an online presence where they post quality content and get disheartened when it doesn’t receive viral results.

Instead of giving up, start by shaving a posting schedule that you stick with. Combine this with social media posting strategy and good old fashioned vinyl banners advertisement that allows you to reach a more extensive base.

Overall, ensure that the content you provide is helping the audience instead of merely selling them products or services to see real growth.

4. Tap into Word-Of-Mouth Marketing Works

While other means of marketing might be quite bold and intriguing, nothing beats word of mouth personal branding strategy.

Often, clients who are satisfied with the products or services you offer will readily tell others about you. As a result, they will share with other potential customers, and soon word on your business comes around.

With this kind of strategy, keeping the quality of service you offer consistently is essential. Additionally, as you have direct contact with referred customers, you can research on better ways you can help

5. Build Your Community

A personal branding tool that will aid you in fully unlocking your brand potential is focusing on building your community. To do this, ensure that you create opportunities for actionable responses from your brand.

Aim to connect with your base through various platforms by providing new content. Go a step further and communicate freely with them to ensure that you forge a strong relationship.

Aim to build a comprehensive email base where you can alert them of new content, products, or services from you.

Conclusion

As seen above, building a strong customer base begins with fully understanding your business and what you have to offer.  With a stronger sense of self, you can thoroughly strategize you’re marketing to attract the right customer base who will form a loyal following.

Aim to communicate and keep in touch with both existing and potential customers to fully unlock the power of your brand.

Whether you’re a busy person who rarely stays at home or a couch potato who doesn’t go out a lot, security must be an important matter to you. Your family and belongings at home hold great value, that’s why you always want to protect them from any harm.

The best way to keep your family and house safe is to invest in security products that would help you have control over things while you’re away. They also make your life easier since you can remotely control what is happening at your home without having to be physically there. 

That’s why we will introduce you to the best security gadgets, your home should have.

Door Cameras

Although it might seem like an old idea, door cameras now have developed a lot to help you keep your house as safe as possible.

There are types of door cameras that you just need to hang on doors without any wires; you get to see whatever is happening on your doorstep just by installing an app on your smartphone and connecting it and synchronizing it with the camera.

Some of them also have microphones enabled that you can use to scare anyone who tries to mess with your home. These cameras also are ideal if you’re waiting for a delivery, and you don’t want to miss it, as the application notifies you that someone is knocking at your door.

Smart Door Locks

Cameras are ideal to watch over who is visiting you, or who is being an annoying intruder, but they are not enough to completely secure your home. Regular door locks can be broken, which can help intruders gain easy access to your home.

You could use smart door locks to make your life easier and more secure. The lock can be connected to a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth; the door, then unlocks when the sensor detects that your phone is nearby.

You can also securely lock the door again by a simple tap on your smartphone screen, whether you’re at home or 100 miles away.

These locks tend to be extremely hard to unlock unless you do it manually or through controlling them on your phone. That would make it impossible for thieves to get through your door.

Smart Safes
