JUST LIKE GOOGLE PLUS, GOOGLEPLAY MUSIC YANKED OFF FOR UNKNOWN REASONS

For music lovers , Google play music is one app that comes handy. Fishing out high quality music but unfortunately it’s nomore to be found in our android phones. An app that comes as factory installed, Google the owner of the music app has discontinued the support of the app so no more music via Google! We have to look for another music apple player for us to enjoy music.

Google is known to discontinue many of it’s apps that we have so come to love such as Google plus and now this. We don’t know why they choose to do this to us. We so get used to their product, Bang, they would yank it off! This music app of theirs come with quality and the sound output HD , one of the finest in the Playstore.

Google said “Google Play Music will be shutting down by December 2020 and starting September, members will begin to lose access to the service”

According to Ellisa Bain of HITC, she said “Google actually announced a really long time ago that the Google Play Music Store would be disappearing in the near future, and back in August they finally put a date on it, confirming that it would be discontinued in September 2020.”

“They began to roll it out gradually, first discontinuing Google Play Music in New Zealand and South Africa before the rest of the world followed in October.”,Bain added.

Though Google gave us a soft landing and didn’t want us to be fully heartbroken by taking us another route though many of us find that cumbersome which is youtube library channel. Personally I found that cumbersome and till date I couldn’t migrate my music.

“When you visit the Play Music website, you are greeted with a message that tells you โ€œthe Music Store on Google Play is no longer availableโ€ Bain concluded .

“If you want to save your Google Play Music data (including your purchases and uploads), you can either transfer it to YouTube Music or download it to your computer using Google Takeout” Google opined.

IVM Electric Cars Sold Out After Unconventional Test Drive Strategy

post-image

 

The first batch of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) electric cars has officially sold out, thanks to an unconventional yet effective marketing strategy led by Cornell Osigwe, the company’s head of Corporate Communications.

In a bold move, Osigwe posted an unedited video on social media, showcasing his test drive of the new IVM electric vehicles. The video, recorded with background noise and Osigwe seemingly making calls, was not a polished marketing piece. But, as a seasoned media and PR expert, Osigwe knew this would grab the public’s attention.

“Any experienced media person knows that what sells in news is bad news, not good news,” Osigwe explained. “The criticism that the video would generate was bound to make it trend nationally, giving the car more publicity than a professionally edited video could have achieved.”

Despite the video showing a vehicle still undergoing its final round of quality control checks and not yet certified for…

A customer-obsessed mindset is no longer the preserve of B2C companies

 

The concept of customer experience (CX) has shifted from customer-centricity to customer obsession, making it much more comprehensive and immersive than ever before. Where customer-centricity sets its sights on understanding and meeting customer needs, customer obsession goes a step beyond by integrating every aspect of a businessโ€”leveraging technology, design, and human insights to deliver superior, holistic user experience. This transformation is on fertile ground within the B2B sector, where businesses are recognising the need to provide the same high-quality experiences that B2C customers usually expect, says Avinash Maharaj, Head of Digital Product Strategy at fintech specialist e4.

 

Being customer-obsessed is a business approach that puts customer needs at the centre of an organisationโ€™s culture and operations instead of paying lip service to the idea of good customer service. โ€œIt involves a deep commitment to exceeding customer expectations at…
