What in New Year 8i Creations will bring for you

Monday, December 26th, 2011
We just moved from an old server to a new one. We will upgrade it more in near future. Thanks to all of you to bear us in this rough situation. Although we didn’t had a problem and mostly transition was smooth, but few of our clients felt the downtime of 10 minutes to 2 hours. We are specially thankful to them that they gave us a green signal and were not angry on us. Those clients we wish to mention here specially are Dharma Technologies, Belance and Crystals Group.

New Year 2012 8i creationsWe hope you are enjoying the holidays with your family and few of you are busy giving customers gifts and offers. I, from the whole team of 8i Creations wish you a happy Christmas and a lovely and successful New Year ahead.

In this very new year we are going to launch few new services and SAAS based applications for small businesses. I would like to give few brief about those here.

  1. a Job Monday: It’s a job portal especially for lower level jobs like Receptionists and Sales Boy or Girls. Our clients faced a great problem finding the right candidates for these positions as general Job Sites do not accept jobs for lower level jobs and also they do not have a user base of such. So this site will solve your problem. The site will be live from 5th Jan, 2012 and will be first launched in Bangalore. You can post jobs for free for the 1st month. Please contact us at biz@8icreations.com or call Bibhu at 99162-94018.
  2. Mynyotaa : This is primarily a marriage invitation site, where you can put your invitation and ceremony details and also can put photos. We will be launching it in 1st week of February, 2012. This is basically built Indian Marriages but can be used for any Bride or Groom worldwide.
  3. A small accounting software, for which we didn’t finalized the name yet. This is the same software we are using at 8i Creations. This is a simple yet powerful software meant for small business accounts. This piece of software we built as we couldn’t find a software that will take not more than 3 minutes a day to be fed by data. Also will help us see the account from every aspect a small business would love to know, while not troubling us with enormous data everyday. Our clients who saw it loved and wished to use. So we will be launching it as a SAAS mid April most probably.

Hope we will create much better products to help your business excel. Thank you and happy 2012.

Creating OFF (part-II):Retailer should focous on his store, not on learning how to manage profile

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

While developing OFF, we always have in mind how a retailer is going to use it.

First the idea was to give them  a profile where they can maintain all their details & post their offers. But we suddenly realized that we are designing something for the retailers in streets. He can’t spend hours to learn how to manage profile or spend 20minutes to login to his/her account and post an offer.

We dumped the idea that day and made it even simpler. Now you only have to send and email & your post will be made in seconds. No need to worry about the complex learning of profile management.

Just put the secrete email id issued to you in “To” input section >> On subject line write your offer like “[offer category] your offer” >> If you want some photoes, then attach them in attachments >> In text box give your coupon code or anything you need to mention >> Then send it.

Wait for 10seconds at max & you are done. The post is successfully made. followings are some of the screen shots. Have a good day. We will be live soon…

1. Prepare the email:

Creating a website for offers and discounts

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Let me introduce you to our new upcoming project code named “OFF xxxx”

Concept: As discount craze ourselves, we looked at concepts of a website that could show you where we will get a discount at good brands etc. We live in Bangalore and here when you walk down the street, you will surely buy bag full if you have some extra cash in your wallet, thanks to the ongoing great discounts & offers. Even if we have only Rs. 500.00 and we see 3 jeans at Rs. 999, we used to call up our friends and we shop 3 jeans for three of us only spending little more than Rs.330 each.

But the problem for retailers is there is a huge competition and the people at just 3kms away do not know about the discount at a jeans of a nice brand that they were waiting for.

So we are creating a simple website to let you know where discounts or offers are going on & the retailers can also be benefited from the huge sale.

In this Category “Creating OFF” we will publish continuous process & photos or screen shots while we are developing the website. So stay tuned. Ask any question in your mind in comment section.
