Why is everyone talking about push notifications?



You just can’t seem to hear the end of it. Everywhere you go, every advertising guide you pick & every recommendation that you seem to get about taking your business to the next level seems to involve this- push notifications. So what is the big deal about them anyway? Well, let us see for ourselves whether it is worth the money & the hype or not. 




        If you are a business firm with either offline or online trading activities, I do not need to highlight the importance of marketing & connecting with as many people as you can. You are also no doubt familiar with the fact that reaching out to the same people over & over again with fresh propositions every time works a lot in eventually encouraging you to buy from you. You are also no doubt aware of the fact that in today’s highly competitive World, the customer is the king & you have to keep him in touch with you always. Every new detail has to be related to your existing client base. This becomes almost mandatory if you are an organization that dispenses services such as education. This has evolved a lot over time. The old days of door to door marketing are thankfully far behind us & unless you do not want to be a well frog in an ocean of opportunities, you can forget about that. Tele marketing has also seen its day as people these days simply don’t care. If they do not end up putting their numbers in the DND list, they surely will hang up on you the minute you start pitching them anything. Bulk messaging through phones or emails also does not seem to produce the desired effect simply because there are so many of them that it is almost impossible to grab the eyeball of the prospective customer with them. Push notification seems to be the best way to get access to all these people as of today.

        The way Pushalive does so is pretty simple. It sends the information that you desire to the customer in the form of system/desktop notifications depending on the platform that they are on. If the person is on a smart phone he/she will get a notification in the notification panel much like the system notifications that the phone gets. In case of a desktop or a laptop, it will be like those desktop notifications that you get on your system whenever it wants you to take an urgent action on anything. This manner of reaching out with urgency is sure to grab the undivided attention of the recipient. The best part is that even if you want to insert links in these messages you can do so. The information can be dispensed to thousands in a matter of minutes. You can even give a custom touch to the messages for select recipients. The recipients do not even need to install a custom software for getting these notifications. Their normal Chrome or Firefox browser will do. You can see it in action using the demo option. Let me assure you of this, whether you are a business firm aiming to increase your footprint or an organization intending to keep its members/clients updates, this is one service that you just can’t forgo!

Those slides have a magical effect that is second to none & can never be replaced by document of any other sort. However, when you deal with these presentations on day to day basis & have to deal with them in bulk, you wish you had a find & replace functionality similar to MS Word in MS PowerPoint too.

Advance your business with advance bulk mailer










The modern day business place is entirely different from what it used to be a decade ago. The market has changed its character so dramatically that former tycoons have become part of history pages & young Turks are emerging out of nowhere. Does this baffle you too? Does it bother you too that while the real World market is fast drying up, the latest success stories in the World of business are emerging out of the cyber World? Has the almost overnight transition from cash rich society in to a cashless World left you hanging on a trapeze wire? Do not worry. Instead of mass marketing you just need to switch to mass mailing. This has in fact made your prospective customers & existing clients more easily accessible. You do not have to hop from door to door displaying your wares & awaiting responses. A simple email would do. However, in order to translate this new found power in to a successful business alternative, something more than just regular mailing is required.
               We all know that more engagements equate with more business. With the known ten percent rule, you can easily evaluate that if you connect with 1000 people, less than a 100 of them end up actually purchasing what you have to offer. Manual mail sending is like using a horse on a car racing track. An efficient mass mailing software is required not just to connect with maximum new potentials, but also in staying connected with the large number of existing clients that an organization has. This is almost irreplaceable for online firms where the business is conducted only over the web & the only way to connect with customers is emailing them. Using such a software you can send the latest update to 1000s at the same time without missing out on anyone.

         Such utility has to do a number of tasks. Firstly, it must be able to circumvent the spam filters put in place by various mail providers. Secondly, it must be adaptable to all sort of content & finally it must have proper logs to record failed delivery instances & also when a particular message was delivered to a particular client. Advance bulk mailer is nothing short of a life saver in this regard. This highly adaptive software is able to run on any given version of Windows. You can enter multiple ids that you made to ensure that mails are delivered & replied to on legitimate accounts & never get dumped as spam. You can upload lists of contacts or select specific people to receive specific content. Attachment can be done in bulk too & you can even save the message templates for future reference & use. After mailing thousands in minutes, it also gives you a log sheet of all deliveries & also mentions the failures along with the reasons for the same. If you are dealing with emails in bulk due to any need whatsoever, this is one piece of technology that you just can’t miss.

Get your business out of limbo with Pushalive








With businesses slowly coming out of the trough of the last depression, we are faced with a new reality- it is not the way it was once. For starters, real World businesses have turned in to duds & have given way to the virtual market place. Secondly, the way people buy & connect is undergoing dramatic changes on a day to day basis. By the time you get to Twitter they are on Tinder. Before clicking that link on your website, they go over to the next link out there. Tele calling is blocked with do not disturb & those mails that you send to them after paying for hefty lead providing services, just end up in the trash folder. The only place where you still have a chance of catching their attention is through somehow getting to those desktop notifications in front of them that pop up of their own accord & which always manage to grab the eyeballs of anyone using the system.
  


Push notification services have the potential to revolutionize the whole way of advertising & marketing. What do you do when there is an advertisement in your newspaper? You skip it. What if that advertisement was the headline of that day’s paper? What do you when there is an advertisement on the television? You skip channels. What if the ad stayed on one corner of the screen while your favourite program is being televised? Difficult to escape, isn’t it? This works in the same manner. Whatever lucrative proposal you wish to convey to the prospective customers is delivered either in the form similar to their system notifications on their smartphones/tablets or in case of a pc, as a desktop notification. Existing clients can always be kept in the loop of things as they won’t miss out on the latest update which otherwise lies unused in the form of unread email. 


         In order to use push alive the receiver does not have to have any application pre-installed on his system or phone. If Chrome or Firefox is there with them, they will get all the latest updates & notifications that you want to deliver to them. You can also imbibe your link that you wish the receiver to click with in the notification itself. This can be used to deliver thousands of messages to hundreds of users with in a matter of seconds. This is a fast, reliable & cheap circumvention of the old way of marketing & is exactly what you need to stay ahead of the curve. You can see it in action on our site to understand it better before you use this most powerful tool of marketing till date.

How Batch File Rename can improve your business






We are all looking for ways to improve our efficiency as individuals or as businesses. This is a continuous process that keeps taking us to altitudes higher than before. The file renaming tool that we would be dwelling upon today is one such useful application that can works wonders for you & your business. 

                         The modern day office space has a complexion that is quite different from what offices had around 10 years ago. Instead of individuals poring upon files, we have computer systems that have automated this task of handling data. This has led to a manifold increase in the output being thrown out for utilization. This stockpiling of data & information has led to a set of troubles that are peculiar to it alone. One of these is the problem of mass file renaming. These days you have to morph hundreds of files in a matter of minutes to make them conversant with the task at hand. This renaming is basically repackaging which is essential for each new assignment that you have to handle. A more laborious task that is linked to this is the task of editing extensions to make the files compatible with the given software. For example if you have a version of Word which saves files with a .DOCX extension & you need to make these files compatible with notepad in bulk, you are saddled with the mundane task of right clicking & editing those hundreds of files so that they may have .TXT extension. This is a thankless job & when done manually with a few hundred files at hand, it becomes both time consuming as well as imperfect. Once you are done editing & have packed off the files for execution by the concerned individual, you realise that there are still 20 odd files lying around with you which were not edited because of the large number of files that you had to deal with.
       



Batch file rename is set to change all that. You can dump in files of multiple format in to it using the box given. You can also apply a filter to select only files with particular type of extension only, for example if you only want .XLS files to go through this process, you can apply a filter to ensure this. The renaming is done as per your style & format. While selecting the files & folders meant for renaming, you can also move or copy them if you so desire. You can add suffix, prefix, separators, etc. to the given files. You can also change the extension of the selected files to make them compatible with any given application. If you do not want to rename all the files in bulk, custom rename gives you the option to rename files manually selecting only the files that you wish to get renamed out of the given set. The files renamed can be saved in a target folder for future use. These files would thus be different from the ones that you originally had & the originals can be kept intact in their original place for future use. You do not have to worry about compatibility either as this software is compatible with all file formats & all popular versions of Windows with easy installation for all. This right here, is a piece of advancement that you absolutely need to get your efficiency on par with the need of the times.
