A new version of The Fun Theory – the scratch mat
A while back I posted an article on the fun theory. this is a theory that consists of the idée that, by making everyday activities (like getting rid of your glass bottles or using the trash can in the park) fun, people will do the activities better and more often.
This is a great example new example on how to make something, you never think about when walking into a store, fun!!
For the last few years I have been developing new products and companies and one of the principles I have been using is participation. I think that the fun theory works in large part to the fact that the user needs to participate to get something done or make it work.
Drop Box – Great tool if you like light traveling
I’ve been using it for a while now and I must say… I like it! The only thing is that you download documents and such and thus when you want to save it you have to delete the file online and place it back into the dropbox folder on the PC that you are working with or (re) upload it through the site…

A fun/good take on location sharing
Using ‘location sharing’ to become a reference for people. I think it’s a good way of getting more traffic to your site, but also get more work and it’s a way to get more partnerships or sponsors your way.
The next logical step to the internet 3.0!
I think of this as being the next logical (mass) step on our way to the internet 3.0. The integration of the internet on our everyday items/products.
Code-X invited me to come and present my marketing/Sales model for a group of NGO’s from different european countries.
The model is based the idea that creativity is the bases of knowledge and that network is the way to communicate the created idea to the world!
Social Media is an important aspect of the model and the practical tools that can be used to implement the models also are part of the presentation. Here a screen shot of the model I made and a link to the presentation;
Important is that I have not made the theory completely myself. What I have done is combine my neuromarketing research and my experience in the field to create one effective and efficient model. The main theories I have used are: - Tribes - The Blue Ocean - Neuromarketing – Branding with Brains.
The model works! We implemented the model for my new company Trezzle.com (your merchandising solution). The company, jong as it is, is doing really well and there is a lot of interest in the product. The participation of the customers is high and the reactions to the product are great to hear. Check out the Trezzle site at: www.trezzle.com !!
Soquake – Sell Yourself – Physical Network
On the 17th of May we organized an internship network event for students and companies. The concept was a little different than usual. The students and companies went speed dating!
The event was a success even though there were a few things that if the event is organized again need to be changed. Clear is that the most of the companies found the right student for their organizations and that the students were happy have the opportunity to, in a casual setting, get in contact with, for them, interesting companies. Here a video impression;
nice viral!!
