One of the best examples of how the internet can be used to create a viral marketing campaign is through a company called Zenni Optical. They sell discounted eyeglasses that can save you hundreds of dollars when looking to get a new pair of glasses. Through their online word of mouth marketing they have been to spread the news about their great savings and free shipping on their glasses. You simply enter the details of your eyeglass prescription and select your frames and lenses and then in about 1-12 days your eyeglasses are delivered to your home.

There are numerous companies that have been able to use the internet as their sole source of branding and advertising to help attract customers and brand their product. Of course you have to be able to deliver quality products and service in order to retain and grow your customer base. There are just as many companies who have tried the online marketing and social network scene who are no longer in business. Companies like Zenni Optical are able to grow their business through satisfied customers and lower prices on eyeglasses. You can check their site out and see for your self the wide selection of glasses they have for men and women and then read through some of the blogs and reviews that have been written about them from satisfied customers. They have several frames and lenses starting at $8 so you can order additional pairs for backups.

There are many reasons to give a watch either for a birthday, anniversary, or wedding gift. One long forgotten tradition that I would love to see come back is receiving a watch for milestone events at work. I remember my father had a great looking Timex with a date and special inscription on the back that noted the anniversary date. This is something that he has kept all these years. I have always been passionate about having a great time piece to keep me on schedule. I am always looking for the next look in watches and have had a variety of watches from Seiko Automatic Watches to Swiss Army. The one thing I love is the mechanical time pieces as I have always had great luck and they seem to be more precise and less maintenance. The more features that a watch the less likely I am to purchase since I am only need of the time and date at a glance. My Seiko watch that I have now has been great and durable. I use it for work while in my suit and then wear it for casual outings. Even when I forgot to take it off when out in the yard it is easy to clean even though it has taken some abuse.

At Bluedial.com they offer a huge range of watches and time pieces with 100% satisfaction for your purchases. This is great for shoppers like me who want a specific feel and look and want to be assured that I am not stuck with my purchase in the event the watch does not meet my expectations. The following Seiko Titanium is great because you can wear it both for dress and casual wear and provides a great look for whatever the occasion. So keep in mind those college grads or Fathers Day is just a month and half away for some great gift ideas.

I love to go camping and there is just something about the outdoors that is special. You may think silence doesn’t make a sound, but it actually does. If you stay in the city too long and then get a chance to experience the outdoors, the sound of silence will be very obvious. It’s fun to throw on a pair of tactical pants and grab the fishing rods and camping gear for a weekend in the woods. It’s a chance to bond with nature and it also makes you appreciate the modern conveniences that we get to take advantage of everyday. I have a lot of good memories of going camping and would like to do it again one day. It’s hard for me to leave my computer right now and the bills must get paid. I haven’t been camping recently and I’m sure the next time I go, it will seem like the first time all over again. Staying up all night by a campfire is a great way to waste a night away and there isn’t nothing better tasting than that first meal you have back at home; after you have stayed in the woods a few days. Feel free to share your camping trips through the camping forum at outdoorbasecamp.com or experiences with me and I would love to hear them!

Or send us a tweet on what camping stories that you would like to share and maybe we will create a special list to specifically help those that love the outdoors stay connected.
