Just how easy it is to add cryptocurrency to your payment options? The answer to this—one of the most frequently asked questions of current crypto conversations—is ‘it’s easier than you’d think’. Still as confusing as ever to many, terms like ‘Bitcoin’ and ‘Cryptocurrency’ are regularly creeping into our daily conversations and our lives. They’re growing as fast as many of the tech-novelties-cum-everyday-utilities do, so just how long will it be before they integrate into our natural spending habits as credit and debit cards, contactless payments, and PayPal did?

Knowing that personal relationships are key to brand longevity, smart marketers will look forward to a third year with COVID-19. For that, they’ll need to focus on building and maintaining trust with their audiences—as well as which channels to leverage in those efforts.  While it’s important for brands to maintain balanced marketing strategies, marketers should be mindful of consumer sentiment as they allocate their media spending. For example, SME’s 2021 Trust in Advertising study found that brand sponsorships are among the most trusted advertising sources among global consumers, yet most marketers don’t readily consider newer ad formats like brand integrations, sponsorships and product placements in their media planning. These marketing formats were viewed as irrelevant by almost 34% percent of the marketers who participated in our annual 2021 Marketing Report. According to the report, significant growth in digital marketing spending, including search, email and social media,...

Understanding the Importance of Customer Value One of the first steps in creating an effective marketing strategy is understanding the customer value of a product. Customers are very important to any business, and knowing the value of your product can lead to increased customer loyalty and repeat purchases.

Bennie THOMPSON (chair of the Select Committee) stated that “Two important questions for the Select Committee include how misinformation was spread and violent extremism contributed towards the violent attack against our democracy and what steps were taken by social media companies to prevent them from becoming breeding grounds to radicalize people to violence.” He continued, “It’s disappointing we still have not had the documents and information needed to answer those fundamental questions.” Alphabet is informed by the committee that the company holds “significant undisclosed data that is crucial to its investigation” regarding how it moderated its content, and the impact of those policies on what was posted on the platform in January 6.

Closing the Gender Gap Closing the gender gap is critical and educator Jonathan Osler has a multitude of ways it can be done. According to Osler, it’s important for businesses to first recognize this social justice issue.

Over the last few decades, dental surgery has made incredible advances. In the past, people who had missing teeth had to choose between dental bridges and dentures . When a person loses a tooth, that creates pressure on the other teeth to fill the gap created, and that harms the structure of your teeth and jaw, as the surrounding teeth lean into the gap. In the long run, your bite and ability to chew is compromised. The gap can also accumulate food particles, leading to gum disease . Tooth loss can also lead to rapid bone loss, and defective speech. Although dental bridges and dentures provided much needed help to people, they were not durable, nor did they appear very natural. Dental implants revolutionized the dental industry, allowing, as Times Square Chronicles reports , people to enjoy a level of dental restoration that is unprecedented. Dental implants are surgical components that are implanted into your jawbone, in place of your missing tooth’s root, in order to support a den...
