Awesome app for travelers - or just getting away on the weekend
The Tripwolf is a website were you can find all kind of tips for your travel - hotels, sightseeing, places to visit and tips from other that had been already in the city where you are going. In their website you can make your own travel guide, browse tripwolf and click the (+ add to my trip) button next to any location that you find appealing. You can add sights, restaurants, bars, hotels... You can put them in any order, as you wish.
After all this is done, you can save it PDF for your trip and share with your friends.
Now, you can find Tripwolf travel advises in the iPhone. Their promisse is to put 5 new destinations everyday in the App Store. In the app is possible to find maps, subway maps, Augmented Reality Viewer and, off course, all the best tips for your stay in the chosen city,recommendations of other travelers and travel info from the German 'Marco Polo' and 'Footprint' travel guides.
Once downloaded in the iPhone, it can be used offline, a great advantage when you don't have Wi-Fi available.
Unfortunatly each app (for each city) costs $ 5,99, only the Amsterdam guide is available for free.

Where am I in the MBA Level Work
It makes me sad to think that this "intervention" in partly my fault.
I still make the posts in the last day before due day and not always read everything needed for the next class.
When the subject or the article in question in something interesting, like the last one (analysis of Google Places) is easier to get involved.
I still did not achieved the Insightful checkpoint and I believe I am between descriptive and analytic.
For me, I think the most important change is to do the assigments earlier. Less pression = more commitment.

Skyscanner Flight Search on Facebook
Absolutely impressive. I was expecting to have to refresh the page at least a couple of times to get the results. It took less than 40 seconds for an answer to appear.
It does not substitute the website itself, but it's great to have an idea of the prices.

Jimmy Choo’s article X Digital IQ Luxury Report
The article commented in the previous post could not me in better synchrony with the Digital IQ Luxury Report. In the Report it shows that Jimmy Choo has a Digital IQ of 126, a Gifted Brand, and it is the second best rated in their segment, shoes and leathergoods.
Launching a pursuit on the Foursquare for their new line of trainers is an excellent idea. Not only it puts the customer in contact with the brand, it makes a map of where you can find the products. It is an innovative campaign and differs from the usual magazine or billboard ad.
This new luxury campaign emphazises the huge developpement of a new type of social media: geolocalisation on mobile. The Foursquare has been created in 2009 and has now more than a million of users. It has a potential that is only beginning to be discovered by the companies.

A Shoe Hunt! And they are not just any shoes...
A very clever idea has put many Jimmy Choo’s fans in a hot pursuit in London. For their new line of trainers, Jimmy Choo lauched a hunt for these new, fresh of the oven shoes: a foursquare hunt.
The CatchaShoe works this way: the trainers will be checked in at various trendy and exclusive venues via Foursquare and in order to win you must get there and find the trainers before they leave the place.

Analysis – Digital IQ Travel and Digital IQ Luxury Reports
As clearly showed in the Reports by L2, the Travel Business has, for the moment, the higher digital IQ. The numbers in various statistics point to that: Companies in the “Genius” status, online sales and even number of Facebook’s likes. In the Travel industry 93% of the companies offer online booking, either in their own website or in third party websites like Booking .com. This resulted in more than 50% of the online reservations, a number achieved only 3 years ago, for the first time ever. As a result, Travel companies are investing a lot in Google search, a tool that the Luxury Industry is yet to discover.
In the Luxury Industry, only two Brands managed to hold on to their Genius Standing, Louis Vitton and Ralph Lauren. However, that picture can quickly change as brands like Gucci, Hugo Boss and Burberry are pursuing the successful path of their Genius friends. Tiffany & Co.’s Engagement Ring Finder is an free app for iPhone downloaded not only by anxious fiancées to be, but also by fans of the brand, already married or not. Such thing as a simple app is a powerful way for brand to connect to the consumer. Preview off the app here
But the fail in Digital IQ of brands like Chopard (61 ponts in 2010), synonym of Luxury, show that this Industry has a long path before achieving number like the Travel Industry.
Many of these luxury brands are reluctant to use strategies in social networks because they think it is a "mass communication", where they would be giving their sophisticated and unique product as popular. However, this scenario is changing and the tendency is that these luxury brands will have as a priority to develop strategies in online channels.
It is important to understand that life online is a reality and that no company can ignore, no matter the type of product, it is critical to any business. The important thing is the Luxury Industry understand that in addition to their efforts in physical channels (which is also super important) it is essential the effort in digital channels, because that's where everyone is. Nonetheless, all channels - digital and physical - should reflect the same image positioning strategy.
