Staying with the similar kind of service pattern is very boring. Day in and day out, sticking to the same plans is really going to disturb customers. However, consistency or steadiness in your service may not always be boring. Customer loyalty is actually based on the concept of consistency or steadiness. If you want to grow your customer loyalty, keep all customer service delivery the same. When it comes to brand loyalty, you have to focus on three essential aspects.

• Quality of products: First, you have to work on product quality and the service you offer. If you are not able to retain the quality, you are surely in big trouble.
• Providing effective customer support: You have to see how well you deliver the service or product you sell. How well it is going to help in branding your business! You do not have to fetch that WOW factor. You just need to stay above the average.
• Steadiness to stay ahead: You have to gain the consistency levels in product and service offering. When customers gain that confidence, they will get what they expect from your company every time and their loyalty doubles.

All these three aspects are interrelated to your business. If you do not sell according to customers’ needs, they will switch from one brand to another. When the product is great, but the service is awful, the customer will find a place that will enable quicker and quality service. If you have inconsistency in your product quality and customer service, you are going to lose your valuable prospects.

Having the desired steadiness does not mean you never faced a problem in your business. Consistency stresses more on gaining confidence that your customers show towards your business. Fortune 500 companies are not perfect. They do make mistakes, but they are superb in their recovery process.

Stay ahead of the competitors by fixing these three essential aspects in customer service channels. To keep your customers loyal and maintain the brand dignity, you have to be consistent, but with a tinge of variety!

According to Jerry Birnbach, an expert in retail design solutions, online stores and brick and mortar retailers both are capable of capturing customer information proactively rather than having an invading approach. “With the advent of mobile devices and increased online retailers, the brick and mortar stores are trying to cut their customers off at the pass. RDD Associates Inc has been on the leading edge of ground breaking retail concepts for store and display design. Major design awards in both categories and participant of Store of the Future areas at the industries Global Shop show have kept on looking for the next great item for retailers. Not since the barcode, has any piece of technology turned the retail industry upside down as the mobile applications and mobile device access to the Internet,” he explains. “It is very simple, want to get into your customers head, just ping them and their habits, likes, demographics, purchases, and what they want to buy. The idea that the brick and mortar retailers versus online retailers go about collecting data from different directions and alternate methods of gathering information is off base.” As Birnbach also indicates, the older population is more unlikely to provide information. “The younger generations are giving up minute-to-minute information on themselves via tweeter and Facebook. Although seniors are a big segment of the purchasing power, they are going to shop as they have for many years and nothing is going to change their hands-on approach to shopping.  Every person surveyed agrees that service is the single biggest element lacking in stores. Online does not provide service to the potential that retailers can, so set your aps to knowing what your customers wants, needs and requires to make the purchase at store level,” he adds. “Online retailers on the other hand serve a different customer that wants price, quality and have it yesterday so they need to capture in a proactive way what their customers want. There is no question that retailing is evolving at a rapid speed and all parties involved need to be aware that even elephants like Kodak, Montgomery Wards, or A&P were guilty of not looking behind them to see what others were doing, nor thought that progress was essential to their survival.”

Software product manager, Henry Rahr is skeptic about the additional features this new technology will offer in order to facilitate user interactions. “When you discard the novelty and take a step back, what value does this tool really bring? It removes cumbersome fiddling when reorganizing the otherwise static illustration or it adds the ability to easily document brainstorming sessions and allows anyone to blend cross-functional teams that consist of a variety of technical know-how. It focuses on removing trivial brainstorming issues and focuses explicitly on bringing ideas to fruition. One could make the argument that anyone in an innovative company would improve their contribution using this tool, but I suspect that the R&D diehards will be the true early adopters,” he explains. “Contract manufacturers that need to engineer to a customer’s spec. Global manufacturing corporations that burst at the seams with ideas, but have little structure to funnel them down to a viable product. A piece of advice on the sheer cost of this collaboration tool; replace the screens with one interactive projector. Scalability, mobility, and connectivity will be key to the adoption of this tool.”

According to market consultant Bob Snyder, Bluescape is following an important trend, which promotes large displays and video walls to provide increased collaboration at work. “While this glamorous display can be a show piece for Haworth, it is not the only solution in the market and ultimately price and variety of offering will win out. While Obscura’s AV industry reputation will help Haworth in this project, there are many multi-touch video wall specialists catering to the needs of a growing market that always wants more for less,” notes Snyder. “It seems to me that this is a business you have to specialize in; otherwise what you have is the equivalent of an IKEA trying to sell its own brand of TV in its stores. Sure, you’ll sell some, but you won’t be a market leader and eventually it will be easier to resell someone else’s product that tries to keep up with your own development.”

George Dorkhom, an expert in general management, names a few industries, which are more likely to be early adopters of the new touch screen technology. “Reading the configuration of these displays, their interconnection and links as well as functionality, the first industry that comes to mind that has a potential to adopt is the convention centers across the world for large exhibitions and trade shows, where networked displays designed for presentations, training or commercials are welcomed,” says Dorkhom. “The military also has various initiatives for distant learning and training and could certainly use the features of hand-movement reading and digital writing from the instructor to the various networked displays. Futuristically, a water downed system can be used in the emerging ‘Connected Home Packages’ industry in the residential market.”

As Juan Carlos Rojas, an expert in software architecture points out, non-invasive brain-computer interfaces have been researched since the 1970s, providing mixed results. “The objective is to measure the shape of the brain waves, and more importantly, find where in the brain they are coming from. This is challenging to do outside of the skull, as the waves diffract and attenuate. A sensor array embedded in a cap will have calibration issues, since you cannot guarantee that it will be worn the same way every time. Despite the signal quality challenges, we certainly get some signals that we can attempt to use,” he explains. “A second challenge in brain-computer interfaces is user training. Most previous research has been focused on interfaces for disabled persons, which justifies learning how to control the devices with your mind. However, in a consumer market, users are not going to bother with the technology unless it is seamless.” Rojas also mentions the possibility of using artificial intelligence on the mobile device to recognize the wave patterns, which are naturally present while we perform the actions with our hands. “It would be similar to how speech recognition technology was initially deployed, but it would require training sessions. The main reason why I don’t think this technology will have much market appeal is that it doesn’t solve any real problem. People can already open their applications at the touch of a finger or via voice recognition if they prefer,” adds Rojas. “It is hard to imagine why people would bother wearing a cap and teach themselves or the device how to control it, just to open their apps a different way. This seems to be a case of a solution in search of a problem.”

Electrical engineer, Krishna Burli compares signal processing to winking as the entire digital world consists of binary codes. “We are graduating from password, to finger prints, to iris, to an electroencephalography cap and it may come to the saying ‘think of it and it will be available through your device.’ The advantage is the technological ease to handle things at the speed of thinking and acting,” he notes. “Disadvantages are the ill conceived global reach and selfish ends destroying the entire human aspects.” On the other hand, Burli still believes that the brain-computer interface technology could easily go against a person’s will, while it allows you to control your smartphone or tablet computer with your brain. “Is it possible somehow, to give a warning with animated picturesque images of what may happen in case we do something, so that a person can, for a moment think before he acts on his brain wave without moderation? Then it would be far better,” he adds. “Things should not go beyond the control of human good, innocence, excellence or nature’s choice as any human innovation cannot beat the nature’s creation of human brain itself.”

The clinical acceptance of lasers has been driven mainly by technology advances, resulting in a wider range of laser performance capabilities and a vastly improved understanding of how laser light interacts with biological tissue. In particular, better understanding of how laser wavelength and pulse duration can be used to tailor laser treatments to the needs of specific clinical treatment situations, thereby resulting in improved clinical outcomes, has played an important role in driving the adoption of laser-based modalities.

Although great progress has been made in recent years, clinical use of lasers is still limited by the fact that lasers are often too big, unreliable and maintenance-intensive or too expensive. New developments in semiconductor diode laser technology, diode-pumped solid-state lasers and fiber laser technology, among others, will significantly reduce the size and cost of clinical laser devices and improve their reliability. Such developments will enable an even broader range of clinical treatment situations in which lasers can be used cost-effectively and practically.

Other new developments that will drive a wider use of lasers include combination treatments such as laser used in combination with another treatment modality, endoscopic laser diagnostic or therapeutic methods like the lasers used for tissue diagnostics and treatment in the same endoscopy sessions and new or improved treatments involving ultrashort pulse lasers (picosecond and femtosecond) as cost and size of such lasers are reduced.

Telecommunications professional, Mohammad Toossi points out several factors we need to take into account before implementing a wireless fiber technology, which will support an existing mobile network. “The radio transmitters, which communicate with the user equipment or more plainly the mobile station, must have the same technology as used in the mobile network’s existing technology to provide the additional coverage. Radio planning must be performed for tuning the radio parameters and optimizing the radio coverage. Subsequently, the wireless fiber network connection must be linked back to the mobile switching center and the serving GPRS support node as part of a UMTS core network or the evolved packet core as part of the LTE core network,” he explains. “This requires that there is no signal degradation under different physical or environmental conditions. Also, additional hardware must be introduced to support the wireless fiber connectivity to the radio network controller or the EPC equipment of a UMTS or LTE network, respectively.” Toossi also mentions the necessity to perform a cost benefit analysis in order to assess the additional capacity gains against the additional implementation costs. “Spectrum requirements must be considered to ensure that the required licenses are available. Obtaining licenses for the additional spectrum adds a significant cost for building the wireless fiber network. The introduction of the radio transmitters and the respective coverage planning can add significant hardware and radio optimization costs,” he adds. “The advantage, of course, would be the wireless fiber network’s ability to add significant bandwidth to support the additional voice and data traffic.”

Mark Csernica, an expert in mobile product development and network engineering, finds the new technology very promising even though he doubts that it will actually be helpful during an emergency. “This product seems to be targeting the network infrastructure and it could offer capacity solutions in the foreseeable future. The premise is that it would help provide capacity during catastrophic events like the bombing at the Boston Marathon or 9/11. I don’t see how this solution addresses capacity limitation on the RF link,” notes Csernica. “Especially when you have hundreds or thousands of users within a very small geographic area, all trying to use their cell phones at the same time. This solution does not seem to address that issue.”

Technology consultant, Steve Macke gives details on the new wireless technology and factors, which could limit the design process. “This is a free space optics technology using either 1310 or 850 nanometer beams with auto tracking on the receive end of the link,” Macke explains. “The limiting factors in designing the links is understanding how to calculate the link budget and configuring the link so that it is not only achievable but will be maintained with a reliability of 99.99 percent availability.”

According to Rita Kelley, an expert in global marketing and business development, the result of the most recent study conducted by the Alberta research group is a true testament to the perseverance of oncology research. “There has been no confirmatory data that ascertains the true benefit or lack thereof of caffeine in the apoptosis or control of cancer cells. While it has been shown that caffeine intake may provide some benefit in certain types of cancer such as melanoma, there have been other studies in different cancers that show deleterious effects,” notes Kelley. “Cancer cells are masters at circumventing detection and destruction, however every inroad made adds to the current understanding and awareness on how to complete the puzzle. Chemotherapy is still a cornerstone of cancer treatment, and now with the increasing validation of targeted therapies, perhaps the Alberta research will generate new hypothesis that lead to additional breakthrough therapies.”

Torik Ayoubi, an expert in gene expression and biomarker analysis, is also skeptical of this new research. “Decades of research have not shown unambiguous effects of caffeine on cancer and even if one or two studies do find such results, they should be considered chance effects as the level of confidence in most studies is just 95%. There are hundreds of novel approaches and drugs being developed, in which huge opportunities are arising in combining the patient’s genotype and the response to therapy using pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine,” Ayoubi explains. “More effort should be spent on why so many drugs work in only a fraction of patients and trying to figure out how to treat every patient individually. Caffeine does not kill cancer cells in human beings.”

Biomedical Engineer, Gareth Hughes on the other hand, considers caffeine as a potential cancer therapy. “Inhibiting DNA repair pathways in tumor cells is a growing area of interest in oncology given the potential of therapies with lower toxicity in comparison to standard chemotherapies, which affect proliferating cells, cancerous or healthy. While caffeine was observed to inhibit DNA repair over 30 years ago, the challenge has been to deliver enough caffeine to produce a desired therapeutic effect and not have the patient go into caffeine shock or overdose,” notes Hughes. “By targeting cancer cells that have specific mutations related to DNA repair, the researchers at University of Alberta could be on track to develop a potent, but relatively safe, cancer therapy.”

Technology management consultant, Bill Sequeira believes that the existing brain waves-to-device interfaces are functional even though they require an individual’s full attention, while he controls the device. “Cognitively you have to train yourself to focus in order to control and interact; not exactly easy to multitask when using one of these interfaces. Hence not a question of whether it is possible, but a question of whether this access modality will require users to stop doing everything else in order to carry out a task, such as turning a device on or off,” he explains. “It would be considered a step back in access technology as today we are able to multitask while using our voices or fingers to carry out computing tasks.” As Sequeira also mentions, this new technology gives the biggest value in applications, for situations where both hands are not available or noise prevents adequate voice recognition. “Computing access for handicapped children, surgeons in an operating room, the military and remote device operation are some applications that come to mind where direct brain control is a plus. In my opinion, it would be very difficult for this technology, in its current state, to compete and win in applications where fine motor skills and multitasking is required. While using smart phones and tablets, users switch from simple tasks like turning up the volume to more complicated such as browsing the web for directions, bringing up Google maps, entering addresses, zooming in and getting a phone number, to even more complex such as entering a mathematical search into Wolfram Alpha and sifting through the response,” he adds. “A successful access modality would enable you to perform all three without a problem. It is unclear whether brain wave control would be able to accomplish all three modes without resorting to a hybrid approach, such as using your fingers for map selecting or centering.” Moreover, Sequeira considers it as a burden to wear a cap in order to capture brain waves. “The cap would either become a fashionable object or an ominous deterrent. We know folks tolerate audio headphones, the question is, can the cap be turned into an object of worship before it is resented by large segments of the market,” he notes. “This technology will definitely have a niche application, but would have to go a long way before it can displace established and emerging access technologies.”

Scott Urban, an expert in currency valuation and macroeconomics, is fascinated by Bitcoin’s potential to expand the money supply. “Most of the commentary on Bitcoin centers on its in-built scarcity, which is meant to ensure its value rather like the inelastic supply of gold was meant to confer value on paper money under the gold standard. If Bitcoin retains its enthusiastic user base, I can envision the need for maturity-transformation,” he explains. “People will begin to lend in Bitcoins, but they won’t be the original ones, they will be ‘synthetic’ Bitcoins, which will be issued up to a pre-pledged maximum amount of the issuer’s actual Bitcoin holdings.” As Urban further points out, whenever we take out a Bitcoin loan, we will be receiving a deposit of  synthetic Bitcoins. “In the real world, we do this all the time with the money we use in the economy. When we receive funds in the form of a loan, those funds aren’t the money created by the Federal Reserve, they’re created by the bank who wrote us the loan. The whole thing works because we proceed as if the two types of money are indistinguishable. As it happens, the advanced economies today face shrinkage in the overall money supply even though the central banks are expanding the kinds of money they can create,” he adds. “There is shrinkage because most of the money utilized in the economy is not the kind created by central banks. Since I believe that economies respond poorly to this shrinkage in the money supply, I’m intrigued by the idea that Bitcoin might actually boost monetary liquidity.”

As lead analyst, Kabir Ahmad indicates, Bitcoin is relatively new as a digital currency and growing hand-to-hand with virtual goods as well as the consumption growth in entertainment content. “The trend indicates that this would be sort of the gold standard in digital space in the coming 5 years but won’t replace the traditional gold standard or paper currency at all. Since the psychical value will be exchanged with paper money, it’s no more than paper money circulating in different forms in the virtual world,” notes Ahmad. “So very hard to claim that it’s going to increase citizens’ purchasing power, I would rather say that it might lead to a citizen’s loss of control over his own expenses, which can eventually create an ecosystem imbalance between money supply and money flow in the economy.”

According to Harry van Beuningen, an expert in futures trading, Bitcoin is in its infancy, therefore it will be difficult to predict its usefulness. “It does not have much depth, which is the reason why the price has fluctuated so wildly. It is presently not easily convertible to other currencies or useable for the vast majority of purchases,” says Beuningen. “Perhaps, given some time, 5 years or so, it might become an alternative to gold, but will it supplant the dollar? Unlikely.”

Software product manager, Henry Rahr proposes two key strategies, which will help heads up display products (HUD) break past early-adoption into mainstream success. “The idea of a HUD sells itself, and all of the big players in this new market have the capabilities to mold these ideas into product form. However, if you are looking to sell a fundamental alteration in the way we communicate, it takes a behemoth of a distribution channel, and hefty partnering power,” Rahr explains. “Very few organizations possess the reach required to orchestrate such a marketing push for a game changing product.” Rahr also thinks it is crucial for technology companies to have an existing smartphone distribution channel at major retailers before bringing this type of product to the market. “This company will need the scalable distribution network to supply and support a product line that will attract the masses. Moreover, the company will need to convince its suppliers that the erosion of traditional mobile devices is imminent, and that it is ‘okay’, because they have the next big thing,” he adds. “Recently, Google had announced that the launch of Google Glass will be accompanied by the MyGlass Companion, an Android-only app for the time being. Using a familiar platform, such as Android, is key to bridge consumers to new technology. Google will have this minimum viable connection, but we’re forward thinkers. We want products that are seamless. Products that are integrated to the Nth degree. Who can introduce that whole ecosystem and convince the masses to buy-in? Samsung.”

Production designer and art director, John Michael Bellamy is against the idea of using the intellectual property of clients and more so the extended rights of usage through those that purchased through the original licensor of the property as if it was the company’s own right due to its service. “I find it slightly depressing in this day and age that something as simple as music cannot be managed either properly nor enjoyed by those that agree to support the creators that made it. One of the greatest problems to the Internet economy is the blatant disregard for the rights and value of works that are easily transferred via the Net,” he notes. “Almost as easily as it can be transferred and distributed, its sense of value to many people drops to 0. This attitude significantly destroys the earning potential of the originator as well as deteriorates multiple markets in general as the effects are quite far reaching.” As Bellamy further points out, it is crucial to take into account the issues that can arise because of international double standards toward infringement. “If the producer comes from a wealthy country, it’s treated as if it’s almost ok to infringe as if ‘well they have lots of money’ and if the producer was not from a wealthy country that infringement was a tantamount crime.  If the original maker, and by extension the distributor, cannot protect the intellectual properties to ensure a future for the people associated in its creation, then any craft no matter where it is in the world will become worthless,” he adds. “I would love to see creators from any country do well from their works and be able to distribute freely to anyone in the world. But rights and ownership are two different things that the listeners and intermediary have to understand and get right in order for that to happen.”

According to Ken Dardis, an expert in broadcast and internet radio, the primary reason why there is a conflict between online music services and copyright owners is the strict copyright protection publishers demand. “The problem is not that ancillary music services like ReDigi create systematic ways for consumers to more efficiently use music, which has been legally acquired, but how the copyright protection being asked from labels and publishers extends beyond reason. ReDigi claims ‘it moves digital files around’ in an attempt to circumvent the payments required in copyright royalty fees for ephemeral works of the same song,” Dardis explains. “This is payment for the use of a temporary, latent copy of the work used to deliver a more efficient access and playback sequence. The insistence for payment on the ‘ephemeral copy’ of a song has been a burden on all use of music online. That a company or radio station would have to pay for making the user experience ‘better’ borders on ridiculous.”
