When Was The Last Time You Used Matches?

When was the last time you really used matches? The match became an almost unused object.
Still, you won't believe it when you see the price of some matches. Of course, most of them are so expensive because they have historical value, that is, they now turn into antiques or collectibles. Here are a few examples of them;

Introducing the world's most expensive matchbox. The price is 6.000 USD. It was prepared as a souvenir for one of the famous dinner parties of Charles Lindbergh, one of the famous figures of the 20s. By the way, 4 matches were missing. Details


Here is another work of art; This matchbox from the 1930s went on sale at an auction price starting from 2.000 USD. 
It contains 40 matches. The matchbox was prepared in Germany with lithograph printing. Lets See




By the way, there are a few more examples. Although these have no historical value. But they are quite assertive on some issues. Eg; UCO Stormproof Matches. The price is not much 8 USD.

Markaların Ölümle Dansı

Martin Lindstrom’un Buy.ology kitabı tam anlamıyla bir “bomba”. Yeni bitirdiğim kitaptan aldığım notları kısa kısa paylaşacağım. İşte bunlardan ilki; Amerika’da piyasaya sürülen her on üründen sekizinin kaderi başarısızlığa mahkum. 2005’te tüm dünya mağazalarının vitrinlerinde ilk kez yer alan 156.000 ürün , piyasaya her üç dakikada bir yeni bir ürün çıktığına işaret ediyordu. IXP pazarlama grubuna göre, dünya çapında her yıl kabaca 21.000 yeni marka piyasaya çıkıyor, ancak bunların %90’ı bir yıla kalmadan raflardan kayboluyor. Tüketici ürünlerinde tüm yeni markaların %52’si ve bireysel ürünlerin %75’i tutunamıyor. Peki buna çare ne? İnsanlara “Artık yeni marka üretmeyin!” diyemeyeceğinize göre markaların satın alma psikolojimizdeki yerini tespit etmek daha iyi bir çözüm. Yani biz hangi markaları nasıl, neden seçiyoruz?’un cevabı önemli. Ya da hangi markaları tercih etmiyoruz’un cevabı. Lindstrom’un buna cevabı; Nöropazarlama (neuromarketing). Nöropazarlama, kısaca beynimiz...

The transition to e-invoice is a revolutionary decision. This is because, in addition to preventing unnecessary paper consumption, easier tracking of invoice tax amounts charged by companies and of course the  digitalization  of finance / accounting departments was provided. So who provides this service? Provider companies working with RA are providing the basic service for receiving and sending invoices. These companies offer services in creating, sending / receiving e-invoices and reporting with the environments they provide. So far everything is very nice and ideal. The only problem is; Some things have never changed for companies with a large number of invoices. Still the manager / managers have to check and approve the invoices one by one. In short, this is also a process. It is a serious process that requires a lot of effort and time. This process requirement brought forward the idea of  ​​integrating  e-invoice providers with BPM ( process management ) applica...

Corona En Güzel Nasıl İçilir? - How to Drink Corona?

Corona, bizde pek yaygın tüketilmese de dünya çapında epey hayranı olan bir bira markası. Corona’nın bu kadar sevilen ve ünlü olmasının sebeplerinden biri de içim şekli. Corona is a beer brand that has many fans around the world, although it is not widely consumed in our country. One of the reasons why Corona is so popular and famous is the way I drink. Corona, sıkılıp şişenin ağzından içine tıkılan bir parça limonla içilen; yani böyle bir içme ritüeli olan bir bira. Elbette normal de içebilirsiniz ama Corona’yı Corona yapan onun böyle içiliyor olması.  Corona, a piece of lemon that is squeezed and clicked from the mouth of the bottle; that is, a beer with such a drinking ritual. Of course, you can also drink normally, but that's what makes Corona Corona so. Peki bu ritüel nereden geliyor? Bu, Latin kültürüne özel, biranın tadını güzelleştirdiğine inanılan bir ritüel olup, dünyaya böyle yayılmış olabilir mi? So where does this ritual come from? This is a ritual specia...
