Online Photo Printing using eoe Online

I feel with the invasion digital camera or more high-resolution camera phone in the market, we hardly develop photos anymore..or do we? I think some of us still do especially when there are some lovely shots that you would love to send to your loved ones (like I have developed a few digital shots for my parents and my in-laws as well as grandparents since we don’t get to see them daily right)

 

As I was looking through some services by the more commonly known photo developing shops, I was thinking to myself, "Hey, don’t we have printing service which can be done online like our US and the UK counterparts?

 

And then I found…YES! We do have our home-grown Malaysian photo retail site, eoe Online which also offers online photo printing. Yippee…for busy moms like us…this is definitely a plus point! No more looking for parking or bringing screaming kids along just to print a few photos not to mention the need to travel back to the photo studio and collect the printed pictures later.

 

This site, eoe Online also has Free and Functional Online Photo Album service to store and share our photos with our friends and family.Wow..not bad right!

We can just work on our order online(my favourite choice now shopping and do my stuff online without traffic jam!) by first uploading our photos online at eoe Online and they will print and deliver them back to us directly! It is just so easy and cool right!

So let me get down with some basic process it involved for the benefits of those who like to try their service:

How e-Print works 

First you’ll either need to upload the pictures before you print.

-Or-

If you already uploaded photos in their Photo Album, follow the easy 1,2,3 steps below:

 

 

Step 1 Choose Upload Option

 

We can choose from the two options:

1.        File Upload is a basic browser upload function for users who only have a few photos to upload.

2.        Easy Upload allows you to upload many photos at one go with editing functions including image rotate, edit brightness and edit contrast.

Note: For first time users, you will need to install the 'Active-X' application first which will only take a few seconds. The next time you return this function will be readily available without the needs to install again.

Note: They have now introduced a Photo Express Software which makes uploading and ordering our photo printing even a breeze..easy when you got your selected pictures in a single folder! Plus they would also inform you if the resolution of the pictures is not suitable for printing 4R, 8R etc...Wow..good right!

Step 2 Upload Photo

Step 3 Select Print size

 

Note: They use glossy paper for all prints, except for 11R and 12R prints in which matte paper are used.

 

After Added to Cart,

Follow the 4 simple steps below to confirm your print order:

Step 1 Fill in details (if have not done so)

Step 2 Delivery information

Step 3 Make payment

Step 4 Submit and order summary

 

Check out their Delivery rates (picture below)

 

They provide various Payment Options:

Helpful tips on using e-Print

1.   For Easy Upload option, please use IE as Safari and Google Chrome are not supported yet.

2.   Check out their Photo Express 1.00 for faster photo upload.(I tried and it is fast and simple!!)

Currently they are having Print promotions!!!

With each 4R print at only RM0.30 (current promotion) and free delivery* for orders above RM35.00

What is the price of the convenient online photo printing service to all? With each 4R print at only RM0.30 (current promotion) and free delivery* for orders above RM35.00, I think it’s pretty reasonable plus not to forget the time and parking expenses we saved travelling too!

 So folks, if you are thinking to print all the lovely snapshots which you have accumulated..why not give eoe Online a try!

Cheers!

Marketing to Digital Moms: How To Reach Out To Today's Tech-Savvy Moms

Gone are the days when the word "Mom" conjures images of a female who cannot operate the video recorder or navigate her way through the latest videogame, and only switches on the computer to send an email to Grandma.

According to a study published in 2009 by Razorfish and Cafemom, up to 27 million (84%) of Moms online are tech savvy. They use Web 2.0 platforms and shop online. In fact, they use communication technology and social media to connect with others, find advice and information, express themselves, do research on products they're interested in, and simplify their multi-tasking lives.

"Digital Moms" have become so dominant on the Internet that the researchers concluded they are not a niche, but are rather the mainstream.

If you aren't reaching out to digital Moms online yet, you might just be missing out on a significant market. Consider these numbers from the United States Census Bureau:

- Women control 80% of household spending. Even if they earn only a part or none of the total household income, women determine how much of the household income will be spent.

- Women do 60% of online shopping. Women do a lot of research online before making a purchase and actually make up more than half of online shoppers.

- Women buy 81% of all products and services. Women shop not only for themselves, but also for the home, family members, gifts for friends, teachers and associates.

The problem is, many online businesses just don’t seem to know what to do when it comes to marketing to digital Moms.
They make the mistake of treating all Moms online as if they all had the same needs and reasons for using the Internet. Not true, according to the Razorfish/Cafemom report. For example, younger Moms tend to be more comfortable with social networking and mobile surfing. On the other hand, Moms 45 years old and above gravitate more towards online news, product reviews and podcasting.

What is the best way to reach out to today's digital Moms?
Here are three tips:

- Provide relevant content. Some of the online Mom's interests depend on what life stage she is in. For instance, digital Moms with young children naturally look online for information about parenting and child health. But there are topics that most digital Moms are interested in, no matter
how old their children are. These include fashion and cooking.

Mom PLR Ebooks provides regular private label rights content just for Moms. For a monthly supply of PLR recipes and product reviews, check out the "All Mom Content" package of All Private Label Content.

- Be present in the channels digital Moms are using. Again according to the Razorfish/Cafemom study, more than half of digital Moms use email, search engines, social networks, gaming and online news. Emerging channels used by about one-third of digital Moms include online videos, consumer reviews and blogs.

Aside from PLR Ebooks, your monthly subscription to Mom PLR Ebooks includes a 5-day Ecourse and 26 newsletter topic ideas - perfect for digital Moms who use Email everyday. If you're interested in providing consumer reviews, All Private Label Content includes 10 product profiles reviews every month.

- Know the particular needs, interests and online habits of your Mom audience. Digital Moms have varying needs and surfing behaviors, depending on their age and theirchildren's ages. The best way to accurately understand your particular Mom audience is to listen to them. Ask your list
subscribers what their concerns are. Conduct your own surveys. Hang out in Mommy forums. Pay attention.

The majority of mothers online are digital Moms. They are tech savvy, smart consumers who make informed decisions when shopping online. They're also online for social networking and even gaming. But they have varying needs depending on their life stage and their children's ages. To market effectively to digital Moms, you need to give them what they're looking for online, be where they are, and pay attention to their needs. Take care of digital Moms and you'll have a profitable online business.

Passion for books and the Discovery & Experience of a Children Online Bookshop

What does parents who have certain hobbies do when they have children? In one way of another is passing on their hobbies to their children. For my husband who simply loves remote control cars and also watching DVDs, the toys that he always brings my daughter to view is toy cars. No doubt my daughter simply fascinated by cars whether is remote control cars, real cars or those children cars which you need to insert coins located at shopping complexes, some food courts as well as at some wet markets to attracts kids like her. Like father, like daughter so they say.

As for someone who simply loves books, who would spend the weekend after getting her salary at bookshops buying no less than three books at one go do is also to make sure my daughter has ample supply of books suitable for her age. So she has caught the “book-worms” from her mom you can say. I have bought and show her books while she’s only one month plus of age. And from the time she can sit and chew on the books till now she can finally appreciate books. Her bedtime routine always ends with bedtime story on the bed with either me or the father. And she would finish up to three of her favourite books before calling it a day.

Therefore to scout for suitable, interesting books at bargain price for her for a working mom like me is so crucial. So I found a very good online bookshop website(http://www.valuebookshop.com) which has very good review and very personal and good service from the shop owner, Ai Lian, who makes my books scouting a more enjoyable and wonderful experience.

I have starting to scout for books online and even try to get a few at one go to save on the postage and also partly because I was moving to my new home soon. So, in order to save the moving items, the shop owner is generous enough to hold the books for me until I moved into my new house. That is the impressive memory I have on this particular bookshop. Not only do I save time and money on buying books online, I also get to know more information about raising children from the owner who has a personal blog at http://mamasbagoftricks.blogspot.com/.

So, book-lovers and parents alike, I would strongly recommend that you give this online bookshop a tour to find out yourself. Perhaps your IT savvy kids would help you by choosing their online books here at bargain price ;)

Happy browsing and online shopping at this children online bookshop! Till my next discoveries of my online-parent-shopping experience!

Cheers! :)
