For this year’s Super Bowl, a lot of companies went overboard to deliver viral clips that promote their products and services. From goosebumps to an increased heart rate, these videos will wrap you in emotions meant to take your breath away and blow your mind.

We use quizzes all the time in our daily lives, or at least I do. Whenever I talk to someone, I always ask a bunch of questions about this and that, and that’s really what a quiz is. Sure, real life conversations are not like those TV show quizzes where you get a prize at the end, but quizzes are still part of our life, though we don’t put that label on them.

You see moms doing it all the time. “What is that? A dog.”, “Who is that? It’s daddy.” Mothers do it because it positively impacts their children’s development. And if you think about it for a second, you’ll find many other real life examples.

Whether you want to bring some traffic to your website, promote a product, get some feedback or you are curious about what your friends might think – QuizSnack is the online app that can help you ask these questions and more.

I get those goosebumps and thrills of excitement whenever I come across new products. But If I’m bored I leave that page as fast as Speedy Gonzales and be sure I’ll never go back.

Customer satisfaction is a sensitive topic and you can’t negotiate on it. The simple truth is, customers need to receive the best. But no matter how hard you try to do just that, you need their constant feedback to make sure you’re on the right track. Feedback is the key to getting more out of your work. Once you know what they think, you can mix a recipe that will make everyone happy.

Let’s get a little insight on how you can publish a survey with all the right questions to get to know your customers. (more…)

Banners are the most common form of online advertising, and I’m pretty sure it will always be this way. You see them everywhere: in your e-mail, on your favourite website, and even when you perform a mere Google search. While you might think you need serious design knowledge to create an amazing banner, you must know that BannerSnack makes everything as simple as it gets. But no matter how creative your banner image is, it still needs to direct potential customers to your website or an e-mail form. Not just so you know the number of clicks and views, but also to make sure people can go buy your product fast and easy. (more…)

Logos are the new trend. They are the creative signature for your work. You don’t have to own a big and popular website to have a cute little logo. Every blog deserves a personal touch to stand out. With BannerSnack, you can create any type of flash content.

Hey guys!

Back in the days, marketing was mostly about printed ads, TV commercials and maybe letters in the mail box. But now, marketing is everywhere. There are so many products out there! It’s getting harder and harder to choose. The fierce competition between brands is like a spartan battle. Our lives are focused around brands. I wake up and brush my teeth with a certain toothpaste brand, eat a brand of cereals with milk, put on clothes from certain brands and drive my car from a brand I trust to be safe.

If only Mary Poppins were right and a “spoonful of sugar” would make any medicine go down! In fact people often tend to neglect taking prescribed medicine even if this helps them feel better. How wonderful would it be if we could make our decisions rationally! Unfortunately we are driven by emotions – what feels nicer, what makes us instantly feel better, what looks good.

This might be a hard truth to swallow: unconsciously you do like others telling you what to do. Now, don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean you like to be bossed around, but some people function better when somebody else tells them what to do. It’s not because we like taking orders; clearly nobody does. But there is something about decision making that we definitely want to avoid. All that responsibility, and then what if something goes wrong?! Consciously or not, we all prefer others to make those calls.   (more…)
