There has been a rapid growth in online shopping for a various range of commodities including clothes. When it comes to clothes especially, you may be thinking that a purchase that you just made was the right one for you until you get the clothes you bought online in your hands. They may either be oversize or undersize. This is quite the frustrating situation, since you really can’t wear the clothes that you bought if they are not your size. What sproov.com has will make you wipe that frown from your face. It is possible with sproov.com to find the right clothes that you need, this means that you can find the right colour, the right length, the right width; in general the right size for you.

You might be thinking that it is impossible to do so, but why don’t you take a look at sproov.com and see for yourself. It is actually very simple how everything works. You can now be sure that all your shopping on online stores will give you what you really want through sproov.com. When you are in a store, this time not an online store, you might be attracted by the design of a certain line of clothes of a particular brand. Liking the design of the clothes is one thing, getting to own a couple of similar clothes is another different story. You will need to make sure that the clothes that you choose fit you properly. This means that you will need to have your size taken. After having your size taken, all you now need to do is to look for the clothes that fit you well. It is this simple principle that sproov.com operates from. The need for a system that one could effectively use to get the clothes of your size from online shopping was big. Now with sproov.com, we have some good news.

if you don’t want to end up with shirts like this:

Sproov.com offers to take on the size issue when it comes to online clothes shopping. By the look of things, everything is looking up for sproov.com. Now that I’ve told you everything that you need to know about sproov.com, let’s take a look at how it really works. Just like I said, it works on a really simple principle: taking your size and then finding the clothes from different designers, different styles just for you. Maybe I have made things a little bit more complicated for you. You’re probably thinking of how practical it is to take your size and get the kind of clothes that you want, clothes that fit and suit your tastes online. With sproov.com, the answer is simple. All that you have to do is to make sure that you enter two similar pieces of clothing on the site in the appropriate fields. It doesn’t end there, with just a simple click after doing the above; you will get to see different models and brands of clothes which are just the right size for you. Let’s take a simple example of jeans. You might be looking for jeans that will fit you just right from various designers, or even different styles. All you need to do is to tell them of your size by entering two similar jeans in the appropriate fields and then all they will do is recommend you some jeans of different designs and styles for you to choose from.

As of my personal opinion on the potential that Spoov.com has, all I can say is that there is a lot for us to look out for, the idea is great and with growth in online shopping, we need to find ways in which the customer will be able to get what he or she is exactly looking for. Spoov.com is certainly headed in the right direction. We can only look forward into the future for a way we can do online purchases with much more ease and the much needed speed.

In conclusion, it is true that the idea is great and will do a lot in making sure that the online shopping experience is much better. Thanks to this idea, we will be seeing a lot more satisfied customers. It is this simple truth that will see the growth of spoov.com if they manage to keep their promises.

Why? one of the main reason is that it’s not real money and people don’t treat like real money. It’s not easy to spend and it expires…yes real money can be spent everywhere and doesn’t expire. This is the main reason why giftcards are of great intrest for companies. According to the Corporate Executive Board Tower Group in Harvard Business Review April 2011, The amount of money lost by US costumers on unredeemed giftcards is of a whooping 2.5 Billions Dollars Lost every year. It’s basically free profit for the card issuers. In 2007, this loss was as high as $8 billion.

How can we come up with an idea to make costumers benefit a maximum from those cards and stop those giant companies taking it from our pockets. Well I’ve identified 2 companies that are around the same concept.

“buying unwanted cards at a cheaper price and reselling them with a margin”

It’s beneficial the card seller because he would not have been able to get anything from it and the re-buyer because he gets to by card for cheaper.

The First company is GiftCardRescue.com who was featured on US TV show Shark Tank. here is a video on how they work.

The second one is Cardpool.

they claim “Buy gift cards for up to 35% off or sell gift cards for up to 92% cash back”

When you think about it, setting and meeting our goals in life always requires pushing against some form of resistance. Often, our resolve to push through with what needs to be done boils down to its correlation with our ability to meet our financial obligations.

In other words, even though working in a career you like is a powerful driver to get up and go to work every morning, the reality is many of us do so because going to work makes the difference on whether we can pay the kid’s tuition, the mortgage, the car loan or a vacation.

This is precisely why ‘do good’ goals often fall by the wayside. The absence of any form of reward and recognition for accomplishing a ‘do good’ activity makes it fall to the bottom of any list of priorities.

Dailyfeats.com is a start up that has created a reward system for encouraging its users to perform positive activities that are consistent with each user’s values and life goals. The positive activities are predefined in the system and are referred to as ‘feats’. Dailyfeats.com currently has more than 200 types of feats but the number continues to grow.

The types of feats are broad. They include taking a brisk walk at the end of a tiring day, volunteering to tutor a child, eating fresh fruit, waking up early, taking the stairs instead of the escalator, spending time with the family etcetera. After performing each feat, users log into Dailyfeats.com via their smart phone or computer, register the feat and earn the points associated with the particular feat.

For persons that want to check in their feats without logging into Dailyfeats.com, there are a number of options. One can send a phone text message, send a Google Talk chat, email the feat or link their Dailyfeats.com profile to their Foursquare account. When one’s profile is linked to Foursquare, certain actions can be registered automatically based on location. These include attending classes or going to the gym.

There are two approaches to checking in a feat – registering each feat immediately it occurs or checking in the accumulated feats in bulk at the end of each day. There is no harm using either. However, members are restricted to only registering feats they have performed within the preceding 24 hours.

The member can share with other Dailyfeats.com members what tangible and intangible value performing the action created for them and thus encourage others to emulate the same. In return, the appreciation and reward one experiences from other members after registering their feat on Dailyfeats.com spurs them on to continue to do even more good.

Even though registering the feat earns a member points, ‘props’ or positive votes for the feat from other members earn the member additional points. Points earned on Dailyfeats.com can be redeemed for rewards or discounts. Dailyfeat.com has partnered with a number of commercial and not for profit organisations who sponsor feats that reflect their own values.

Established in 2006, Buzzfeed.com has taken the concept of internet content going viral and have built an online service around it. As of February 2011, Buzzfeed.com receives more than 4 million visitors each month.

The site has sought to establish itself as the place to go to by anyone who wants to start a story, a video, a picture or an event that will eventually go viral. In other words, Buzzfeed.com aims to catch wind of viral content before it actually goes viral or as early on in the viral curve as possible.

Each user on Buzzfeed.com has their own home page where they can put up their own new posts, reBuzz interesting posts by other Buzzfeed users or have other users submit posts to their page.
Buzzfeed.com uses a combination of technology (that is web crawlers) as well as human editors to determine the content that goes to the front page of the site.

Buzzfeed.com editors though do not restrict themselves only to content posted by Buzzfeed users. Content on several other sites such as Best Week Ever and the Huffington post is tracked by web crawlers and posted to the front page as necessary.

Note that a topic is not considered viral simply because it is popular among Buzzfeed.com users. Rather, it must be one that attracts attention from the web at large. Given the numerous visitors to the site and the numerous subscribers it its RSS feeds, being placed on the Buzzfeed.com front page places content in a better position to go viral.

Buzzfeed.com is used for either amusement or for business purposes. Of course, given the nature of most viral content, most topics will have entertainment value. However, businesses can use Buzzfeed.com to keep track of topics that generate the most traffic and thus modify their online and/or offline marketing strategies accordingly.

Users can vote for the content they would consider the most likely to go viral. Buzzfeed users that prove to be the most successful in predicting the content that will go viral move up the rankings on a leader board.

Buzzfeed is popular but has not escaped criticism. For starters, a first time visitor may initially be struck by a perception of a cluttered, congested home page. The counter argument though is that this concept has worked well so far. Buzfeed.com has also made effort to organise content by placing related content into appropriate categories.

The second issue is the liberal of internet shorthand such as LOL and OMG to tag topics. This has the potential of repelling a certain type of business or individual end user. But even this may be viewed as more a pro than a con given the site’s heavy leaning toward entertainment and fun stories.

Buzzfeed is free – there is no registration fee neither is payment required in order to put up a post. The site makes its money through advertising. However, effort is taken to ensure such links are as unobtrusive as is practically possible.

Buzzfeed has done relatively well since it was established in 2006. Buzzfeed incorporates discovery and social networking to bring out the most popular content. This contrasts with the search engine approach used by Google where the relevance of content is often the primary factor in pushing content (in this case the first pages if search engine results).

The Buzzfeed app is available for Android phones and iPhones.

The business model is quite simple and it is possible to avoid investment as well. You create partnerships with luxury brands, moreprecisely I guess with luxury stores in a city. On top of that, you offer free delivery. You sell clothes on a website. Once someone orders, you check if the store still has it, you confirm and deliver it. Your benefit is simply the difference between the real price and the price plus interests.

Is your ideal closet too expensive for you?

Then I have the solution for you.

There would be a shop where all the top brands can be found, and instead of paying the full price for a piece of fabric, you would actually be able to pay the price according to the number of days you wear your clothes.

That way you’ll be able to have 2 times more clothes for half the price!
