Making the most of online shopping

One of the best things about the internet is being able to buy things cheap, much cheaper than buying it from a physical bricks and mortar store. One of the issues faced by bricks and mortar stores is that they have huge overheads that make selling goods cheap almost impossible. They also have to contend with the fact that online stores, such as the Sephora, often offer a Sephora Promo code which makes goods even cheaper.
Having the ability to not require a retail front means that many onlines stores can base themselves anywhere in the country and even the world. This means they can base themselves in places which have dirt cheap rent which lowers their overheads even more.
It is therefore, the trend for companies like Myer, David Jones, etc, to build a web presence and ship goods from lower cost locations in an attempt to compete with online stores.

NFC – the future of payments

NFC (Near field communication) has been a feature that has been on many smartphones for a long time now however it’s use has not really taken off.

VISA have now decided to put a big push on the technology and have engaged OPTUS and Vodafone to undertake trials of the technology over a period of twelve months to see how it performs until real world situations.

The deal with Optus is in addition to the deal that VISA has done with Vodafone and is purely an internal trial of the technology. It is not known whether the trial will be rolled out to consumers and businesses at this stage.

The way that this technology will work is that if a customer has a NFC compatible smart phone then all they will need to do to pay for goods is to swipe their smartphone across the POS system to register the sale.

Sales will then be registered and appear on the users phone bill.

Telstra will welcome the technology as it may increase the number of consumers joining their network. This technology as well as offering a Telstra promo code will help the company increase market share.

How to choose the right vitamins

If you’re not feeling energetic or your body is not as bouncy as it used to be then it could well be that you’re low in some nutrients and vitamins. It may therefore be helpful to take a vitamin supplement to boost your body’s function.

Some people believe that eating well will ensure that they have enough vitamins and minerals to satisfy their body however this is not always the case. Your body may benefit from vitamins and minerals even if you eat well. There are some vitamins that are good in that they help  your body fight off any damage done by outside sources such as sun, pollution, toxins and others. These outside sources could lead to premature ageing, disease and other unsavoury health issues. Having a vitamin and mineral top up can help ensure your body is at peak performance to fight off these issues.

If you’re looking to start yourself on vitamins and minerals it is worthwhile going to a doctor to firstly asses what you may low in (this may involve a blood sample) as well as discussing if taking a supplement will be bad for you. Once you have to go head from  your doctor,  you can start your earnest search for a suitable supplement.

Usually most vitamins and mineral supplements will not harm your body however if you do not need it, then they will not have any affect on you.

Talk to your pharmacist and get their advise on the most suitable vitamin for your body.
