Native ad spending hit US$1.存倉6b in 2012 and is seen rising to US$2.8b by 2014SOON, effective advertising will start to be opted in - that's right, consumers will ask to be advertised to, say academics at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.Catharine Findiesen Hays, executive director of the Wharton future of advertising programme at the school, told BizIT the world of advertising is splitting into traditional content marketing and what is known as "native advertising".Content marketing typically involves sponsored content such as articles, white papers and instructional videos, paid for by advertisers in order to reach out to audiences.According to Ms Hays, this form of advertising, including traditional TV and poster ads, will make way for native advertising, which aims to sit more comfortably within the online medium and will persuade readers to actively absorb its content.The potential for native advertising remains to be seen, although industry watchers are optimistic about its growth in the near term. eMarketer estimates that native ad spending in 2012 hit US$1.63 billion and will increase to US$2.85 billion by 2014.One flagbearer for native advertising is BuzzFeed.com. The site is populated by articles written by staff, but it also has some written by brands in the typical BuzzFeed style."You know it's sponsored, but you aren't turned off. You still willingly click on it, and we think this is going to be very powerful," said Ms Hays.This positive association between content and a brand marks a complete reversal in audience attitudes towards being sold a product, she added. "Because you know it's from a brand, we define native advertising as a format where it must be absolutely clear that it's sponsored, as well."But native ads can go wrong too.David Bell, professor of marketing at the Wharton School, pointed to the failed Scientology ad that ran on The Atlantic at the start of this year. The ad drew widespread flak from readers, and the publication's president had to apologise, acknowledging that the article was jarring against The Atlantic's identity.Mr Bell said that the labelling for the article wasn't clear enough, violating one of native advertising's core tenets. And because it didn't feel like one of The Atlantic's typical stories, it wasn't natural on that platform, he said."Native advertising is about getting the right person the right content at the right time," he said.Ms Hays said: "Let's say you trust Nikon. If they co迷你倉e up with an article that fits you, and fits the way you feel about the brand, you aren't jarred. And over time, you'll welcome articles from the brand."She said brands have to consider their ads more holistically, and include the right channels, how users are consuming those ads, and continually refine what's working. "People come to an advertising agency and say, I want a viral ad, but they don't consider whether that sort of ad fits the brand in the first place."The Wharton School has announced that it is collaborating with Yahoo Asia-Pacific to develop an industry framework for native advertising. Their collaboration will include tapping ad executives and social scientists for ideas, through online and roundtable discussions.Yahoo's push to exploring new ad media comes at a time when new CEO Marissa Mayer is watching over slowing revenues from its core business of digital display ads. Ms Mayer has, over the past year, moved to revitalise some of Yahoo's other content products such as the photo-sharing site Flickr, and recently acquired microblogging site Tumblr for US$1.1 billion.Yvonne Chang, managing director for India and South-east Asia at Yahoo, said advertisers in the region are fast warming to the newer forms of content-based marketing.Where traditional advertising formats confined advertisers to a 15 or 30-second TV commercial, the broader canvas of the Internet allows publishers to put a little more thought into generating a quality five-minute programme that could serve as a commercial too, she noted. In India, for example, where online penetration is just 10 per cent, big brands are still reaching mass audiences via TV, she said.But those which want to target the growing online audience are putting serious dollars into mobile and online ads.Over in Singapore, however, businesses don't seem to be using digital advertising to its full potential, she said."Singapore is a mature market, with 60 per cent online penetration, and where 80 per cent of people access the Internet every single day. And yet digital advertising is just 10 per cent of ad buying dollars - that's an emerging-market number," she noted.The typical worldwide average proportion is twice that, at about 20 per cent. Hong Kong advertisers spend three times on Yahoo ads than counterparts in Singapore, she added.In its latest quarter, Procter & Gamble revealed that it spends a considerably massive 35 per cent of its US$2.9 billion marketing budget for the US on digital media.自存倉

Pan Asia Logistics blends both for a competitive edge that is maintained through cost advantage and customer orientationSUPERB geographic connectivity makes Singapore home to some 7,000 logistics companies.迷你倉價錢 The 20-odd biggest players of the global supply chain business have also set up their regional headquarters here.Yet Pan Asia Logistics managed to prise a slice of the pie for itself amid the competition. Incorporated in December 2002 with $20 million in the first-ten-month revenue, the company reached $150 million in annual revenue a decade later and is aiming to hit $1 billion by 2020.The success factorsFounded in Singapore by German-born logistics veteran Christian Bischoff, Pan Asia Logistics has its core competencies in comprehensive logistics services covering airfreight, ocean freight, projects and heavy lift, and contract logistics. Blending German precision with Asian efficiency, the company obtains its competitive edge through cost advantage and customer orientation.For one thing, Pan Asia Logistics mitigates the disadvantages of its smaller market power by carefully selecting its target segments, such as the right combination of clients. The automotive industry, for example, forms the core of Pan Asia Logistics' clientele and generates 40 per cent of its revenue. Other key verticals include electronics and high tech, oil and gas, fashion and lifestyle, as well as food and beverage.The company is highly customer-oriented in its business approach. This explains its commitment to understanding the competitive landscape of its customers, so that it is able to provide customised one-stop logistics solutions that add the most value to its varied multinational (MNC) clientele.One-stop service support is the key here. While traditional freight forwarding is still very much at the heart of its services, Pan Asia Logistics has been transforming itself into a provider of fully integrated supply chain solutions with information technology (IT) and contract logistics at its core. The ultimate aim is the optimisation of the client's supply chain and distribution processes.The use of information systems is also highly emphasised. The firm has invested heavily in such technologies for the benefit of its clients. With Web-based technologies, clients have real-time access to information on their shipments or inventory levels. This helps make the whole logistics process more resilient and convenient.Another intricate part of Pan Asia Logistics' business model is innovation and flexibility in its service offerings. A good example is the innovative freight forwarding options such as the tailor-made combination of sea/air transportation that the company provides. Sea-air transport has the benefit of lowering costs while still allowing clients to benefit from the speed that comes with airfreight. The company also offers storage space for a diverse selection of goods, and it is equipped with air-conditioned and dangerous goods facilities.International reachRegional expansion is an equally important pillar of Pan Asia Logistics' growth. As the company's business consultant Monika Bischoff explains: "Venturing into new markets will be essential for reinforcing the company's market presence, and will position it st迷你倉ategically and solidly." Pan Asia Logistics started in Singapore and now has more than 40 branch offices across Asia in Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan. In 2009, it opened its first subsidiary in Stuttgart in Germany. More presence is to be established in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Bangladesh this year.Expanding warehouse capacity "will further contribute to Pan Asia Logistics' strategic growth", notes Mrs Bischoff. The company opened a 170,000 sq ft facility in South Korea in 2008, and another 200,000 sq ft warehouse and office building in Changi in 2011. Two warehouses - one of 480,000 sq ft in west Singapore and another of 420,000 sq ft in Tanjong Pelepas in Malaysia - are currently under construction and will be operative later this year. To be opened in 2014 is one more 300,000 sq ft logistics centre in South Korea. This is not all - over the next few years, the company plans to add another 1.5 million sq ft warehouse space in the region.Pan Asia Logistics also has an extensive support network of partners, alliances and agents throughout Europe, Middle East, North Africa and the Americas. This helps to improve its responsiveness towards the needs of international customers for fully integrated logistics solutions.Pan Asia Logistics conducts its operations based on eco-friendly principles. Every effort is taken to reduce its carbon footprint. For example, the company reduces waste by reusing packaging materials and supplying them to other industries as secondary raw materials.Outstanding business achievements have brought Pan Asia Logistics numerous accolades. It has been consistently placed among the top 500 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore since 2004. In 2010, the company won both the Enterprise of the Year Award and the Entrepreneur of the Year Award which are prestigious hallmarks of success honouring consistent excellence in business performance among Singaporean SMEs.The futureWith the introduction of the revised Singapore Green Plan (SGP) in 2012, the environmental blueprints of the local firms are now facing increased review and scrutiny. With a growing amount of green legislations requiring original equipment manufacturers to recall and recycle or dispose of their end-of-life products, Pan Asia Logistics sees a potential for a new business model. It is exploring the possibility of launching niche services by establishing reverse logistics and remanufacturing networks to enable clients to take back their used products.Increasing operational costs due to the volatility in the economy, over capacity and rising labour costs are some key problems that have significant repercussions for logistics firms worldwide. As Mrs Bischoff reflects: "It will be of vital importance to monitor the changing markets and be able to react swiftly and adjust to the changes, such as the shifting of modals and trade lanes, as well as the trend towards regionalisation (of the logistics industry)."According to Mr Bischoff, the founder, Pan Asia Logistics is to become the largest Singapore born and grown global logistics provider. Clearly, the company is progressing well to achieving this goal.The writers are students of NUS Business School儲存

Source: The Bakersfield CalifornianSept.迷你倉新蒲崗 08--Internet cafes may be a "nice" business -- but they could also soon be outlawed."I think that my guys put together a nice business. If it's not illegal," Beverly Hills attorney Neil Newson said recently of his Los Angeles client Roman Doktorovich, Jr., one of two men who own iSweeps Internet Cafe in southwest Bakersfield, adding matter-of-factly, "If it's illegal, they're going to be gone."That "if" is what everyone's waiting for these days -- a ruling expected later this year from the 5th District Court of Appeal in Fresno, on whether Bakersfield's 13 active Internet cafes are humble purveyors of Internet access and copy and fax services, or houses of forbidden gaming.An appellate court ruling on whether a Kern County Superior Court judge acted appropriately last year in ordering the closure of five cafes and the seizure of their equipment would bolster arguments by the city of Bakersfield and the county of Kern that the establishments offer nothing more than illegal gambling, under the guise of a sweepstakes that cafe owners compare to the legal McDonald's Monopoly game.Until the ruling arrives, and the Kern County District Attorney's office starts filing cases against cafes again, the city is building a paper trail it can use to prosecute the cafes as nuisances in civil court.The city has sent letters to cafe owners informing them that "Las Vegas-style electronic slot machines" are prohibited under penal code. It also has sent letters to landlords informing them that Internet cafes "may be illegal" under California law, and are believed to "attract a criminal element." A 14th cafe is under construction."It's very similar to a barking dog-type case," said City Attorney Ginny Gennaro. "You look at the same thing. Would an objective person be offended by what's occurring? How do I prove it?"Cafe owners aren't quite wringing their hands, which may or may not be full of money. A raid earlier this year on two cafes in Visalia netted more than $100,000 cash. The city of Visalia is awaiting its own appellate court decision after being sued by the cafes' owner.Doktorovich and other cafe owners say their businesses are not cash cows, and that they typically must pay a percentage of their earnings each month to software providers -- although in a court filing, Doktorovich's own attorney describes the business as "quite profitable.""I think the best analogy would be, we've got a very high profit business trying to squeak through legal loopholes, similar to the medical marijuana dispensaries. The tenants justify the risks as a result of the huge profit margins," said Bakersfield attorney Ronald Dessy, who represents Doktorovich's landlord, Dr. Manbir Singh.After an unsuccessful attempt this spring, Dessy said he again is trying to evict Doktorovich, whom Dessy said does not have a valid insurance policy for the cafe, and iNet, a second Internet cafe that opened July 27 in the same shopping center.Doktorovich, co-owner of iSweeps with Oleg Reut, said his insurance policy has always been up to date. Three days after iNet opened, he and Reut sued Singh and Sukhwinder Sohi, iNet's owner.They accuse Singh of breaching their lease by backing iNet, and they accuse Sohi of opening a competing business -- and attempting to have the city prosecute iSweeps. Attempts to reach Sohi were unsuccessful.Singh said he wants both cafes gone."My office is right next to an Internet cafe. I basically deal with families, with kids, and seniors, and they don't feel comfortable with peop迷你倉出租e standing outside smoking, and doing things they're not supposed to do," said Singh, an internist, one of whose three branch offices is indeed a short walk from iNet and iSweeps."We did not know that they are gambling people. We were misinformed. The real picture came out after they were already established."Legally, the question is still why Internet cafe patrons are there in the first place.Cafe owners who have taken their cause to district court are arguing their customers come to surf the Internet, and the fact that they're entered into a sweepstakes with a cash prize when they buy Internet time is merely what a Vegas-style slot machine might term a "random monkey bonus."Terri Jackson, a clerk at iSweeps, reminds a reporter that the Internet games, many of which visually resemble slot machines, are in fact "sweepstakes games," and that a gamer doesn't cash in points -- for cash -- but instead, "you redeem your prize."Law enforcement officials think visitors may stay for the Internet time, but they come for the chance to win a sweepstakes."That's one of their arguments. You can sit down and surf the Internet," said Kern County Deputy District Attorney Gregory Pulskamp. "They say you're not giving money for the chance to win more money."We don't think so," he said. "We think you're paying for the chance to win more money."Customers who will talk to a reporter disagree."I love 'em," said retiree Laura Dock, who won $600 at Linked-In Business Services Center in southwest Bakersfield in her best week. "If it weren't for this cafe, I wouldn't have anywhere to go during the day except stay in bed.""This serves its purpose, because yesterday I helped a friend of mine who got his phone stolen," said iSweeps patron Enrique Suarez, who was able to use the cafe's Internet to download an app that tracked his friend's purloined iPhone -- but found it too far away to recover."They're just for entertainment purposes," said Kathy Stevenson, a recent customer at the Lucky Lady Internet Cafe in Bakersfield's downtown, calling sweepstakes winners "predetermined."Lucky Lady's neighbors are calling the cafe something else."I've had at least three people who have left the salon, who didn't want to work here because of this. It used to be cozy and fun, and now something happens every day," said Lynae Cummings, owner of Scissorhands Salon & Boutique, next door to the cafe. "We're used to bums downtown, but this is different. We had to call the police because they let a homeless person hang out in our hallway."Lucky Lady cashier James Washington disputes her account, praising efforts by public and private law enforcement to make downtown safe."They haven't really loitered," Washington said. "Bakersfield police are doing a fine job. We have a security officer here and that (loitering) isn't allowed. That's why we have signs up here."Wes Bradford, whose company Bradford Properties, LLC, owns the building where Scissorhands and the Lucky Lady lease space, sides with the salon."We've gotten letters from almost every tenant wanting to move out. We've now hired a patrol service to patrol at night. Every time we get a complaint, we forward it to them," Bradford said. "Believe me if the courts or the law would allow me to evict them, I would. I have no grounds to evict them."An appellate court ruling, of course, could change that.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Bakersfield Californian (Bakersfield, Calif.)

The pedigree of Sebastien Lepinoy and pastry chef Cheryl Koh results in hit-after-hit on your plate, writes JAIME EENEW CHEFLes Amis1 Scotts Road, #02-14/16 Shaw CentreTel: 6733 2225Open for lunch and dinner Mon to Sat: 12pm to 2pm; 6.自存倉30pm to 9.30pmIF one were to study the lexicon of the Singapore diner, a few key phrases might stand out. You know, like: "uber-cool, cutting edge"; "bohemian chic"; "first time in Singapore"; "chef is from Fat Duck/Noma/elBulli"; "latest restaurant by Loh Lik Peng/Cynthia Chua" and "OMG, is Jamie Oliver coming HERE?"This obsession with trends, the culture of food blogging, Instagram and a general shift away from formal French dining with double-layered tablecloths and servers in full suits is a scenario that Les Amis has quietly operated in for nearly two decades (it turns 20 next year). That practically makes it a grandpappy in local restaurant years - in the revolving door F&B scene, surviving one year is a major accomplishment, 10 years almost warrants a fireworks display.But 20? Never mind hot-air balloon theatrics - rather, Les Amis is comfortable just sticking to its mantra of dependable, gimmick-proof cuisine that is founded on ingredient quality and sureness of technique. It may not run with the "in" crowd, but with its latest casting coup - new chef de cuisine Sebastien Lepinoy and pastry chef Cheryl Koh - it may well find itself in the spotlight afresh.Both Lepinoy and Koh come with considerable pedigree. They last helmed the one Michelin-starred Cepage in HongKong - Les Amis's first overseas foray which closed earlier this year after the restaurant lease expired. Prior to that, Lepinoy was a Joel Robuchon protege for years, and headed L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Hong Kong. Singaporean pastry whiz Koh worked in the US before returning to Asia, and her tasteful, understated creations belie their technical prowess.Another factor that makes Les Amis more accessible psychologically is its pricing, which has come down a notch to friendlier levels. No longer are $350 degustation menus the norm, making you feel like a church mouse on its first visit to the city if you ordered just a couple of courses from the a la carte menu. Now you can hold your head up high and order dinner menus that start at $150 or a set lunch from $45 - how much more extravagant you want to get is totally up to you. Dinner menus top out at $280 and lunch at $120, and Lepinoy's repertoire is so wide that there is barely any overlap of dishes among the menus.Even with the price adjustment, service at Les Amis remains top-notch. It's always a little intimidating to first enter the restaurant, but the staff are friendly and down-to-earth, with a demeanour that says "Yes, we're in suits but we still want you to have a good time".So don't feel bad if you can't stop digging into Koh's bread basket that's filled with crusty bread sticks with a surprise twist of ham within, sourdough that rivals any in France, and toothsome focaccia stuffed with olives. It will be to your detriment later though, when Lepinoy plies you with a onslaught of creations that are a confident show of well-honed technique and geographic influences.You get a hint of his current obsession - Japan - and his clean Robuchon-influenced cuisine in both the $280 (seven course) and $150 (five course) menus. Dashi, teriyaki, seaweed and wasabi make frequent appearances, be it in a refreshing mouthful of raw scallop packed tightly into a sheet of nori and topped with caviar, or a milky smooth veloute of Japanese daikon with crunch from shredded raw radish and a sprinkling of black truffle.One would venture that the Japanese elemen迷你倉新蒲崗s detract somewhat from the sophistication of his creations. There's no faulting the flavours but some combinations sit a little uncomfortably and don't seem to come naturally. For example, a wafer thin, buttery filo pastry layer topped with creamy eggplant, sauteed king mushrooms, tomato and parmesan shavings wins you over with a crispy creamy mouth feel.But you are slightly distracted by the little cup of dashi alongside that rightfully tempers the richness but feels a little awkward - like an unexpected guest you have to make small talk with. Amadei - the luxurious Japanese tilefish famously served deep-fried with scales intact so you can eat everything - is also deep-fried here, but loses all meaning when it is submerged in a delicate bouillabaise with lobster and stuffed squid. Despite the resulting tough scales, we happily dunk the accompanying tomato bread into the soup and mop up the accompanying rouille.When he keeps the Japanese elements toned down, though, the food simply shines. Lepinoy can challenge any tempura chef with his shatteringly crisp, deep-fried langoustine served with a miniaturised caesar salad topped with fried whitebait. His caviar creations are also a must-have, including the cold angel hair pasta dressed in an oil-vinegar dressing that's slightly acidic on impact but quickly mellows out to a smooth finish with the little black pearls.He also shapes asparagus blancmange into voluptuous quenelles, letting the saltiness of the caviar lift the mildness of the wobbly custard. For extra interest, tender potatoes are cut into little petals and arranged into a flower shape simply topped with cream and caviar.He also makes cooking quail a cinch - this fiddly piece of poultry is succulent and he even finds space to stuff it with a bit of foie gras, accompanying textbook-perfect ratatouille.Accomplished as he is with the complicated stuff, he also hits the spot with simple French cooking, as the great value-for-money $45 set lunch attests to. Start off with a refreshing caprese salad of crisp lettuce, sweet tomato and little mozzarella balls, then a French onion soup that's like a city cousin of its roughshod country relative - a neat square of cheese toast and clean tangle of meltingly-soft onions sitting in a clear delicate broth. Black cod Grenobloise - classic fish pan-fried in brown butter and capers - could not be better.Well, unless you come to dessert. Above all, Koh's candied mikan could go down as dessert of the year - a whole mikan (Japanese orange) cooked till fork-tender in sugar syrup, filled with a combination of panna cotta and sorbet, with little blobs of Earl Grey jelly for a tinge of bitterness to alleviate the sweetness, rounded out with a bit of crunch from crumbled almond tuille. Otherwise, she turns chocolate and egg white into floaty souffles, tops mango cream with an addictive coconut wafer, and infuses creme brulee with thyme and tops it with braised apricots. Also, she has a light hand with the sugar, so her desserts will find favour with the health-conscious. But at no expense to the sweet-toothed.Les Amis's popular appeal may have waxed and waned throughout the years in a gastronomic scene dominated by chefs pushing the boundaries of cooking. But all that envelope-pushing has also led to a new era of down-to-earth cooking, especially as more chefs embrace locavorism and sustainability. With its long-held belief in good food done well, it looks like Les Amis is comfortably on-trend now.Rating: 8jaime@sph.com.sgWHAT OUR RATINGS MEAN??? 10: The ultimate dining experience9-9.5: Sublime8-8.5: Excellent7-7.5: Good to very good6-6.5: Promising5-5.5: Average迷你倉出租
