Thank you VERY MUCH to all who voted, our MorVee mobile coupons app won the Cincinnati Innovates HYPE Community Choice Award!

August 17, 2012

We sincerely appreciate your support! The MorVee mobile coupon application is truly innovative and the community clearly agrees; the HYPE award is given to the innovative idea that got the most votes during the 2012 Cincinnati Innovates competition.

We believe that MorVee is both exciting and innovative for two reasons: The first is the win-win value proposition it creates for businesses AND consumers. The second is how it leverages the exploding mobile market to help businesses and consumers save time and money. At the end of June 2012, over 110 million people in the US used a smart phone, up 4% since March. Juniper Research says the mobile coupon industry is expected to generate more than $43 billion in global redemptions by 2016, up from $5.4 billion in 2011. Juniper analyst David Snow said, “mobile coupons are going mainstream… To ignore the potential of mobile coupons would be to ignore the future of mobile commerce.”

MorVee links businesses and consumers in a simple, quick, direct way. Consumers win by saving time and money because they are proactively alerted to the best nearby deals based on the geolocation capabilities of their smartphone. A consumer only gets the coupons they are interested in, exactly when they need them! And consumers can quickly and easily redeem a coupon by simply showing their phone to the cashier. Over time, MorVee learns which types of coupons consumers like, and sends them the most relevant coupons. Best of all, the MorVee app is free for consumers to use!

Morvee is also a win for business owners; it is a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising; it can deliver highly targeted, opt-in coupons to the right consumer at the right time, and it captures metrics including the number of impressions and the number of redemptions.

Additionally, business owners can upload and change coupons as often as needed for the same low price. Stores can use MorVee’s metrics to have an immediate impact on slow days and down times, creating special coupons targeted to bring in more business from interested consumers on the spot! Coupons automatically expire at the time designated by the retailer, and the app can also limit the number of redemptions based on the needs of each individual store. MorVee also has a unique method for tracking coupon redemptions so the retailers can see exactly which coupons work for them.

Currently, there is NO market leader in this segment, and none of the competing services are able to push coupons to consumers as they get within close proximity to the store, a big win for MorVee! We are now offering a 90 day free trial, to sign up, please visit http://www.morvee.com or call 513-403-4602.

Dave Hatter on Fox 19 (WXIX) RE Online Reputation Management for Job Seekers

July 28, 2012

I was interviewed by Shelia Gray on July 26, 2012 for the Fox 19 Morning News. We discussed the Online Reputation Management for Job Seekers.

You can watch this interview and many others on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUo1xWbXfi4.

The tips we discussed include:

  1. Be Careful What You Share Online
    • Assume you have no privacy regardless of “privacy” settings
    • Assume it will last forever
    • Only 5.7% of recruiters are not active on social media
    • 12.5 percent of employees are hired directly through social media
    • “Glass, china, and reputation are easily cracked, and never mended well.” – Benjamin Franklin
  2. Start Managing Your Online Reputation Now, search for yourself
    • Google drives about 80% of search traffic
    • Google yourself (Bing and Yahoo too)!
    • Use Google Alerts to proactively track information about you.
    • Hide personalized search results to ensure what others see
    • Own As Many “Slots” As Possible on Google’s Page
  3. Look Past the First Page of Search Results
    • Most recruiters and employers will go beyond the page of results. Check at least 4
  4. Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile
    • You control the messaging!
    • Focus on positive information and accomplishments
    • Get recommendations
    • Update it regularly
    • LinkedIn is used by 40% of recruiters and is #1 social media site for hiring
  5. Create a Personal Website, Blog or Web Page
    • Use this to share positive information / portfolio
    • Will help with search
    • Link to LinkedIn
  6. Tackle Negative Stuff Head On
    • It’s likely to have been seen by employers and recruiters
    • Ensure that it’s really about you
    • Prepare an explanation or be able to refute it

We looked at the MyCareerWeb site to explore how it can help you manage your reputation, I encourage you to check it out and give it a try.
