			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People across the world have found that in a downturned economy, staying versatile and mobile is one of the defining features of success for small businesses. The regular rules of the 9-to-5 work day no longer apply as our connectivity has increased exponentially. Smartphones have been the game changer and have allowed small and home-based businesses to stay connected with current events and stay competitive with larger businesses. In fact, there are many built-in features that have fostered this growth and, if you&#8217;re a small business owner, it&#8217;s important to realize the benefits of using these devices and features to the benefit and success of your venture. Here are some reasons why smartphones and mobile devices are advancing the way business are run:</p>
<h3>Around The Clock Connectivity:</h3>
<p>With the new smartphones you never have to be out of reach and you can continually stay connected with your mail and progress of your business. You can currently synchronize your email, business accounts, banking, and videoconference capabilities to your phone. This has made the accessibility of products, developments, and services streamlined to point that you can keep in touch with progress up to the minute. This also means that, wherever and whenever you&#8217;re traveling, you never have to be away from making decision necessary to the success of your personal business.</p>
<h3>Pocket Power:</h3>
<p>The smartphone has one huge advantage over the computer and that&#8217;s the fact that it&#8217;s completely mobile and it fits in your pocket. With a laptop you have to worry about being in an area with a good WI-FI connection and available power source. With smartphones many of these worries no longer exist. You can perform functions anywhere from balancing the monthly budget to getting <a href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebusinessappraisals.com%2F&sref=rss">business appraisals</a> all while you&#8217;re walking down the street. In essence, with a smartphone, one person ultimately becomes a self-sufficient business.</p>
<h3>App Power:</h3>
<p>There are now so many applications that they&#8217;ve improved performance in nearly every aspect of the way we conduct business. These simple <a href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fapps%2Fintl%2Fen%2Fbusiness%2Findex.html&sref=rss">business apps</a> are usually free or are priced at a very nominal cost. These apps perform the same function of many software programs that cost hundreds of dollars and aren&#8217;t portable. The majority of apps are for entertainment purposes, but many have been developed by business professionals and have proven to be a great leveler in the world of finance and business.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a business giant to be successful when placed up against the competition. Small businesses have many advantages over their larger competitors. It&#8217;s with the utilization of current technology like smart phones that has proven the small businessperson&#8217;s best friend. If you run a small business and you&#8217;re not utilizing the power of the smartphone, you should consider the myriad benefits of a tech savvy approach and what it can do you&#8217;re your success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On 2nd March, 2009 <strong>Forrester</strong> released an independent report on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Faffiliates.izea.com%2Fevent%2Fv2%2F1243-2607-1768&sref=rss"><img src="http://affiliates.izea.com/event/v2/1243-2607-1768.gif" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />Sponsored Conversations</a>, looking into series of effective outcome of social media marketing campaigns run by Kmart, Panasonic, etc. through <strong><a title="Izea" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fizea.com%2F&sref=rss" target="_blank">IZEA</a></strong>(a leading social media marketing company) and others. The report summarizes as,</p>
<blockquote><p>Kmart gave some bloggers a free shopping spree in exchange for a blog post about the experience — a practice we call sponsored conversation. With appropriate protections for disclosure and authenticity, this practice will take its place alongside public relations and advertising activities in the blogosphere. Marketers should take advantage of sponsored conversation as an entrée into the online conversation. To succeed, you should get to know the bloggers you plan to work with and set expectations across your organization.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;">courtesy: Forrester Research, Inc.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1490" title="sponsored-conversations-a-new-way-to-market-with-bloggers" src="http://espreson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sponsored-conversations-a-new-way-to-market-with-bloggers.png" alt="sponsored-conversations-a-new-way-to-market-with-bloggers" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>So, it is a positive approach of <strong>Forrester</strong> to <strong>Marketers</strong> to<strong> go ahead with Sponsored Conversation or Sponsored Post</strong>. From the voice of <a href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.forrester.com%2Fgroundswell%2F2009%2F03%2Fby-josh-bernoff.html&sref=rss" target="_blank"><em>Josh Bernoff</em>,</a> author of <em>Groundswell</em> it&#8217;s more clear that Sponsored Conversation has some weight and comes in between of PR and advertising.</p>
<blockquote><p>When you look at sponsored conversation in context, you can see it fits into a nice spot in the groundswell between PR and advertising. In PR, you try to get a blogger to talk about you, but your chances of success are hit or miss. In advertising, you can be sure to get a placement, but it&#8217;s not in the blogger&#8217;s voice. Sponsored conversation &#8212; paying a blogger to write about your product &#8212; fits in the middle &#8212; it guarantees a post, <em>and</em> it&#8217;s in the blogger&#8217;s voice.</p></blockquote>
<p>Although, all this things are happening amidst some ongoing <strong>controversy about Sponsored Post</strong>[<a title="Corrupting blogs" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzmachine.com%2F2006%2F10%2F19%2Fcorrupting-blogs%2F&sref=rss" target="_blank">link-1</a>, <a title="Blogging for dollars raises questions of online ethics" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Farticles.latimes.com%2F2007%2Fmar%2F09%2Fbusiness%2Ffi-bloggers9&sref=rss" target="_blank">link-2</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Faffiliates.izea.com%2Fevent%2Fv2%2F1243-2607-1773&sref=rss"><img class="alignright" title="Sponsored Conversations" src="http://affiliates.izea.com/event/v2/1243-2607-1773.jpg" border="0" alt="Sponsored Conversations" width="300" height="250" /></a><a title="Shooting fish: Blog Sluts" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.churbuck.com%2Fwordpress%2F%3Fp%3D2358&sref=rss" target="_blank">link-3</a>, <a title="More on the PayPerPost Debate (or “Tim Draper where are you!?!?!)" href="http://go.espreson.com?id=195X313&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcalacanis.com%2F2006%2F10%2F08%2Fmore-on-the-payperpost-debate-or-tim-draper-where-are-you%2F&sref=rss" target="_blank">link-4</a>]. And that is why <strong><em>Josh Bernoff</em></strong> started his post(&#8220;Why sponsored conversation &#8212; aka paid blog posts &#8212; can make sense&#8221;) writing with, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m ready to weigh in one a <strong>very controversial topic</strong>: is it ethical and appropriate to pay bloggers to post about your products?&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>So, bloggers and marketers can&#8217;t thrown away the debate on Sponsored Post, and that&#8217;s why <strong>Forrester</strong> has mandated marketers to follow some instructions (<em>How To Do Sponsored Conversations Effectively</em>) before going ahead with Sponsored Conversation and also directed to &#8220;<em>Look out For Pitfalls</em>&#8220;. More focus is given in the report on transparency, I mean on disclosure—that the post is been sponsored by some company.</p>
<p>Now, it&#8217;s time to see whether the<strong> </strong>controversy still continues or not, because Forrester has already predicted <strong><em>&#8220;A new Industry is Born&#8221;</em></strong>.</p>
