Persuasive Essay On Crowdsourcing

My plan is to survey customers from competitors and customers from SHLD. Over the past week, I have successfully surveyed SHLD customers. The survey is printed out on a business card and given to customers as they leave. SHLD allowed me to do this, but competitors such as Wal-Mart and Target will not agree to give out the business cards to their customers. This put me in a difficult place and forced me to think of other ways to collect information from competitor’s customers’. I was able to overcome this obstacle by posting the link of the survey on Wal-Mart’s Facebook page and twitter account. This allowed me to start collecting information from competitor’s

Hosting events that endorse helpful organizations appears to be a top priority of my community. There are ostensibly events every week supporting different foundations and charities and regardless of its modest population, the number of participants is awe inspiring. Everything

Student searches help schools prevent distribution and usage of drugs, and weapons, but do they infringe on our constitutional rights? Yes, they do. Student searches take away the student`s right to privacy, their right to not be unreasonably searched, and they take up time and resources that some schools don’t have.

Crowdsourcing has been around for about a decade. The term is actually a combination of the words "crowd" and "outsourcing". I'm sure you're all well aware of the meaning of both. But how could crowdsourcing help your business? Well, probably the best example anyone could ever give you is Wikipedia. The worlds largest crowdsourced encyclopedia.

I believe the volunteering work that I’ve put in my four years of high school will have benefited me because I have taken school and volunteering very seriously. For the past two years I have been a part of the National Honors Society, which requires a minimum of 20 hours of community service per year. This past year, I’ve also been active in a Leadership class, where I am in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Being a part of NHS and BBBS has really opened up many opportunities that I’ve never thought about doing. I’ve volunteered at many places including Cascades Humane Society, the Jackson Friendly Home, the Lyle Torrant Center, the Michigan Center Food Pantry, and I read to first graders every week.

Feedback is key. Gathering feedback information will help a company overcome barriers. The idea here is to avoid misinterpretation and misunderstanding by assembling all of the facts. Take both professional and customer feedback, take it into consideration and apply their criticism to your work.

Make sure that all of the winning bids have followed the rules, if they have not, move to the highest bid that followed the rules. Write on the bidding sheet the information of the winning bidder. Then, call up the winning bidders to pay for and collect their items to a checkout area. In order to be able to make the most, be able to accept cash, checks, and credit cards. A card reader that attaches to a smartphone can be bought very inexpensively. As people pay, have volunteers collect the items for them. Be sure volunteers are also watching the items, or bring them all to the checkout area, just to guard against theft. Ideally, this will not be necessary, but it is better to be safe than

Volunteer work. Those two words are dreaded by millions of people. Some associate it with unpaid, free labor; after all, it has the word “work” attached to it. Those that do “enjoy” volunteer work tend do see it as it being a resume filler or as compliment to their college application; they do not take too much out of the experience. Through the eyes of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), volunteering can be seen as so much more than dreaded labor or a resume buff- it can have an impact on the world. Moreover, volunteer work can be the change that fixes the inequalities in this world. On the surface, volunteering may not seem like it’s going to affect someone, much less change the the world. But even volunteering just an hour can impact the life coarse of someone. Specifically, volunteering at schools helps to solve the injustice in the segregated schooling system. Service learning has taught me that taking action is the only way to make change in order to fight inequalities. The only way we can improve the education system today, is if we take action by volunteering. ((Transition Sentence))

I remember the first time I landed in Maui, as I got off the plane I was greeted with tons of hugs and beautiful handmade leis from my other family members, followed with a question that I have become very familiar with from my grandparents, “Are you hungry?” Of course who wouldn't be after spending over nine hours cooped up in a plane with tasteless and overly expensive airline food. I didn't really know what was in Maui since it was my very first time visiting, so of course I left it up to my grandparent to choose a place to eat at. Which ended up being one of the greatest choices I have ever made because I was introduced to a place like no other..

Many people use the Internet as their primary way to socialize and connect with the world. Thus, virtual communities are an excellent way to attract visitors and retain consumers. First, forums are a traditional of connecting users with each other. However, forums are quickly being replaced by social media sites. Companies should create a user friendly social media site that offers helpful information, service features and the opportunity to voice opinions. For example, companies can regularly provide beneficial information about not only their company, but the industry as a whole. The social media site should also offer customer service support that is either live chat or a messaging function. Finally, customer created surveys are a great way offer a fun and engaging way for customers to share opinions.

Nora and Sydney run to the bathroom giggling, skipping along. Shortly after they return our steaming, delicious smelling meals are set in front of us. We are devouring our juicy steaks, savory potatoes, tender lobster, and crunchy chicken strips when something behind the over towering brick fire place dividing the dining room from the bar makes a popping sound louder than I’ve ever heard before. I think to myself, “Was that a celebration coming from a champagne bottle? No… much louder than that. Did someone actually bring a firework into The Firebirds restaurant?” Then another pop and suddenly the whole

Most crowdsourcing platform implementation projects fail. To succeed, therefore, requires understanding of the importance of crowdsourcing platform as a strategic tool and the need for its continuous review throughout development and implementation phases. One of the critical success factors is the design of a robust revenue-generating infrastructure powered by a secure user and customer authenticated e-commerce engine. A crowdsourcing platform development is an investment at risk. The cost of development increases with each development phase. The investment should be reviewed at each key checkpoint in development and should be justified based on the data available.

Crowdsourcing today, as survey groups were in the past, is a useful and effective tool for companies to use to ensure that the products or services they provide are something that the general public, or their customer base, is interested in. However, care must be taken to ensure that not only are the results are accurate and not tainted by some form of manipulation, but also that the information gathered is actually something that is used. In the first case, data manipulation could cause a company to provide something that doesn’t sell, and leave them with

Crowdsourcing in this report refers to the process of attaining needed thoughts, services or content from a large group of people (Merriam-Webster, 2015). Different from outsourcing, it decomposes and distributes the tasks to a public group which did not be defined, but not a specific group. The aim of this report is to find differences between several platforms of crowdsourcing and then give precise recommendations for our client Forever 21. By analysing the target markets of Mechanical Turk, Freelancer, Odesk, Would You Rock This (WYRT) and Spoonflower, and outlining the value proposals of these companies, the American fashion retail chain, Forever 21 is recommended to choose the crowdsourcing platform Would You Rock This. Further analyses are developed by researching the application of
