The digital marketing strategy implemented in April 2020 has caused a variety of improvements in terms of effectiveness, including reductions in the bounce rate and increases in session duration. Despite still being high, the bounce rate has been reduced by 6.23% recently, which is indicative of the growing engagement with the company’s web content (Poulos et al., 2020). A notable improvement in average session duration (it has increased by 125%) also points to this positive trend. One area for improvement refers to the measures to attract new users. As per the analytical report, the number of new users of the company’s website has decreased by almost 18%. To prevent this tendency from affecting marketing results for the following month, is it possible to increase potential new clients’ exposure to the company’s advertisements by establishing partnerships with other prominent businesses selling green goods. Particularly, buying advertising space from the most popular sustainable food blogs or online organic supermarkets can be beneficial. As for the second opportunity, the content of the website can be variegated to cause further growth in the average session duration. As per the Databox business analytics platform, the ideal average session duration is between two and three minutes, and Sustainable Sips’ result is less than one minute and a half (Albright, 2020). The potentially helpful measures include the increased use of video content on the website and internal links (Albright, 2020). Particular examples are video blog entries devoted to the benefits of reusable bottles and product reviews that would incorporate the elements of popular science. The third improvement area relates to maintaining the balance between new and returning users. For websites that engage in commercial operations, loyal customers present a critical source of financial growth, whereas Sustainable Sips’ share of returning visitors continues to decrease (Malnik, 2020). It can be helpful to start social media accounts to attract followers or make use of e-mail newsletters, thus increasing former clients’ exposure to news about the business.
In order to understand public attitude towards certain issue, phenomenon or group of people, it would be enough to carefully study the media representations of the subject. Mass communication greatly shapes public opinion, as media are now credible sources of information; at the same time, they are also influenced by the public opinion, due to the fact that journalists and editors normally belong to the community they address in their articles or TV, radio and Internet news. The present paper is intended to examine the newspaper accounts of First Nations People in Canada over the last year. It will also argue that Inuit and Métis people are excessively “victimized” in press, their fate is dramatized and depicted with barely relevant pathos, so they are still treated by journalists as “younger brothers and sisters”, who are making their first steps in this life. The renowned columnist of the “Toronto Sun”, who dedicated his professional activity to studying and highlighting in press the experiences of Native people, Mark Bonokoski publishes on March, 4, 2009 a story about a Metis man, who committed armed robbery and killed a policeman 29 years ago. The paper is filled with pity and compassion for Craig Alfred Munro, the criminal, as the perpetuator of manslaughter still cannot be released on parole because the panel members believe he does not realize the depth of his transgression. As the journalist suggests, thirty years ago, Munro might have been a socially hazardous heroin addict, but nowadays he is merely a peaceful 58-year-old with poor health, who doesn’t wish to die in confinement. Although the author does not express resentment openly, he implies that the National Parole Board purposefully gathered the arguments and evidence, which would work against Munro and “weaken” him as an applicant. In particular, it is noted that the board has been carefully collecting the letters and complaints from the victim’s family and colleagues for all these years and that another institution, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, proved that the suicide of Canadian police officer Adamson was a direct result of the incident, in which Munro murdered Michael Sweet. As the article is overloaded with details, one can assume that the author intentionally directs the reader’s attention to the industriousness with which the entities of judicial and executive power have been trying to keep Munro, the Metis man, behind the bars. Cassandra Szklarski, the “Toronto Star” journalist, in her article entitled “Aboriginal awards host uses star power to inspire” writes about the Inuit actor Adam Beach, who seeks to help the members of the Eskasoni community avoid suicide. The article provides an extensive account of the des
Nowadays, everybody use their personal computers for storing data which when lost creates a lot of trouble for us. In order to prevent spyware and viruses from entering our computer system we need to properly examine the sites before entering them. We should never give our personal information to any online site, like credit card numbers, even if we are asks for it, as we might become an identity theft victim. We should check the URL of the site before entering it. If it starts with “https” then it is very secure, otherwise if it starts with “http” then the security of our computer may be compromised. The only information we should provide is our name or e-mail address. We should also be careful about certain e-mails that ask for our personal information. It could be a part of a scam called phishing where when we provide our details a spyware gets attached to our computer. (Adams, 2007) Worms and viruses spread very rapidly in our computer without our knowledge. Thus, we should install antivirus softwares and firewalls to stop unauthorized entries in our computers, before we install any other programs on it. Before purchasing an antivirus software or firewall we should know about its abilities and limitations through customer reviews. The virus and spyware programs are extremely smart ones and can even get past along some antivirus softwares and firewalls. Some cyber criminals are selling certain software to us with the promise that they are going to protect our computers but in reality these softwares are actually harming our system. Thus, we should always use reliable softwares from reputed companies and not just from any online site or download them from anywhere. To ensure the safety and protection of our computer we should always install those antivirus software and
Introduction Recall that the research problem in the planned dissertation concerns the personality traits of both bullying perpetrators and provocative bullies in the work setting. The mixed-methods approach will incorporate in-depth interviews with adult workers who have participated in an earlier postal survey and thus been identified, by reason of frequency and regency, as belonging to the target groups. Access will be via the labor union locals. Addressing the Questions of Integrity The route of access is the least likely to arouse questions of integrity. The sampling frame for the first-stage postal survey depends completely on heads of union federation offices in the city granting permission for access to their members’ mailing addresses. For delays, permission denials and inadequate sampling frames at this level, the fallbacks shall be approaches to a sample of unionized firms in the city or a purchased list of white- and blue-collar workers. On the other hand, it remains to be seen how many union members play supervisory roles. This is a concern, given that those carrying the formal designation are normally excluded from union membership and National Labor Relations Act protections. As well, prior data already provides strong evidence that superiors account for a substantial proportion of bullying perpetrators. Doubtless, the second fallback above can help solve this problem of access since no union official has power over company supervisors. As well, there are many who are designated “coordinator”, “lead men”, “charge nurses”, “load supervisors” and “journeymen” in education, health care, construction, manufacturing, broadcast, energy, shipping, and accounting who still remain legally rank-and-file but really bear “hire and fire” responsibilities. Regardless of route of access, one anticipates that permissions can be facilitated with a study rationale promising reduction of stressful events in the workplace and working towards interventions to help habitual bullies and their victims. Fortunately, those who must give permission in the primary and first fallback access routes have no power to coerce, force participation or sanction members who report bullying experiences. On the other hand, consent is a matter of three essential elements ensuring that participation is based on informed consent, is voluntary, and protects respondents from retaliation or other adverse consequences. All three objectives will be met by including a cover letter in the questionnaire and checklist mail packet. This letter will elucidate the above study rationale, assure the recipients that participation is entirely voluntary and that only the researcher will have access for all time to the information provided. Moreover, the letter will pledge that all personal and contact information will be destroyed after a certain time. These assurances will need to be reiterated
