Balmon Hyper 2 years ago

Tesco has introduced a new line of 88 products that will help the company to reduce waste. They have partnered with Loop to make this happen. The new feature will allow a customer to buy products from the range and return the containers in store once its contents are finished. The store will then send the containers to be cleaned, refilled and put back on its shelves. 

The service will be available at 10 stores in eastern England, offering a range of popular products including some of Tesco’s own-brand items. In partnership with Loop, the global reusable packaging platform, you can now buy a wide range of food, drink, household and beauty products in reusable packaging.

Essentially the shopping experience wont be much different than usual. The majority of people will go and do their shopping weekly – the only difference is that at these 10 stores, you will … Read more

Force Multiplier Podcast Episode 4: Housing Stability

Balmon Hyper 2 years ago

Consider the various ways you might describe yourself: parent, sibling, college grad, writer, activist, baker. Few of us define ourselves by the structures we live in. So why do we call people experiencing housing instability “homeless”? Their housing status is no more representative of who they are than it is for someone who rents an apartment or owns a house. And there are more than 500,000 people in America experiencing housing instability on any given night.

Many of them live in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, which ranks among the most expensive cities in the United States, with average downtown home prices exceeding $1 million. It also has one of the highest rates of people experiencing homelessness in the country. And while the issue of stable housing isn’t unique to the Bay Area, as a region that’s home to global companies like Levi’s, Facebook, Uber, Apple, and yes, Salesforce, it … Read more

I’d buy these 5 cheap UK stocks for their dividend yields

Balmon Hyper 2 years ago

After falling on Monday, the FTSE 100 index has rebounded. On Thursday, it closed at 7,078.35 points, up over 240 points (+3.6%) from Monday’s low. But the index is up only 5.6% over six months, so its rebound since last October has slowed. Yet the Footsie has come a long way since 23 March 2020, when it crashed below 5,000. Today, I believe the Footsie is cheap, both in historical terms and versus other major markets. Indeed, I see deep value, particularly within Footsie mega-caps (the largest London-listed companies). Here are five cheap shares I don’t own but would buy today for their chunky dividend yields.

Five fat FTSE 100 dividends

Dividends — regular cash distributions paid to shareholders — play a vital role in the FTSE 100’s total return. Indeed, it’s estimated that roughly half of the index’s long-term returns have come from reinvesting these payouts. At present, the … Read more

How to Create an Effective Branding Campaign That Inspires a Movement

Balmon Hyper 2 years ago

Brand is the perception of your company in the eyes of the world. It’s shorthand for who and what you are.

Getting branding right gives people a reason to love you, which they’ll reward with loyalty. Getting it wrong, however, can create an impression you may never be able to change.

In this article, you’ll learn what’s required to create a branding campaign that strikes the right chord. We’ll look at the importance of strategy and cover the key ingredients a campaign needs to increase brand awareness. We’ll also give you creative fuel by breaking down how Lemonade has used branding to disrupt the market.

Branding strategy is more than a series of gimmicks

When we start in business one of the first things we’re encouraged to do is nail the branding: come up with a memorable brand name, a good logo, and a striking visual brand identity. … Read more

Fortnite x Balenciaga

Balmon Hyper 2 years ago

Fortnite has teamed up with yet another big brand. The Fortnite X Balenciaga collaboration features new ‘skins’ in the Fortnite item shop which was to be expected. To top the cake, Balenciaga has released a new line of ‘Fortnite 2021’ clothing. With its designer name, the pieces range from around $400 – $1,300 and hardly by surprise, the majority of the line is sold out.

Collaboration Crazy.

A similar concept took place in 2019, when Louis Vuitton launched a line based on the game League of Legends. Although the idea is not necessarily original, it has been very effective for both parties involved. If you know Fortnite, you will know they tend to go above and beyond in terms of advertisement. 

Past collaborations include the brand teaming up with stars like Travis Scott and Marshmallow. They have also worked closely with DC comics in the past, as well as with … Read more
