How to calculate ROI - Return on Investment

this is what i'm currently doing right now..
and it nearly took the whole day and week to do..
seems simple enuff...
but ROI ration doesnt add up ?
whazzup ?

Marketing campaigns are investments. And like any smart investment, they need to be measured, monitored and compared to other investments to ensure you’re spending your money wisely.

Return on investment (ROI) is a measure of the profit earned from each investment. Like the “return” you earn on your portfolio or bank account, it’s calculated as a percentage. In simple terms, the calculation is

(Profit – Investment)
Investment

ROI calculations for marketing campaigns can be complex -- you may have many variables on both the profit side and the investment (cost) side. But understanding the formula is essential if you need to produce the best possible results with your marketing investments.

With solid ROI calculations, you can focus on campaigns that deliver the greatest return. For example, if one campaign generates a 15% ROI and the other 50%, where will you invest your marketing budget next time? And if your entire marketing budget only returns 6% and the stock market returns 12%, your company can earn more profit by investing in the stock market.

ROI helps you improve your ongoing campaigns. When you tweak your offer or launch a campaign to a different list, you can compare ROI and focus on the version with the best performance.

Finally, ROI helps you justify marketing investments. In tough times, companies often slash their marketing budgets – a dangerous move since marketing is an investment to produce revenue. By focusing on ROI, you can help your company move away from the idea that marketing is a fluffy expense that can be cut when times get tough.
Best Case

Neutral Case

Worst Case
You measure and track the ROI of all of your marketing investments. Your campaigns deliver the highest possible return and you’re able to improve them over time.

Your organization understands and agrees with the choices you make because there’s solid data to support your investments.


You calculate ROI on some investments, but because it can get complex, you don’t attempt to measure it at all times.


You have a general idea of how your investments perform relative to each other, but you can’t pinpoint the exact return you’re generating. And in tough times, your budget is cut.


You don’t measure the performance of any of your investments.

In fact, marketing is viewed as a cost, not an investment at all.

Datuk Krishnasamy shot dead at MIC johor building



This has been a big tragic death in the history of malaysia
who would have thought that another head shot dead would happen in malaysia.
Malaysia is a peaceful country and headed by democratic government,

The Datuk did his work well and was loved by the johor community.
I just had dinner with him last before his death.
He was a gracious man with the brightest smile.

All of us shall miss him dearly
our condolences to the family
God bless

1st week at work

Dear diary/blog/notebool/laptop

It’s come to my attention that the laptop is very convenient but quite uncomfortable for my hands leh. I cant seem to get my finger on it.

Is it because of the keyboard layout ? the touch pad? Or the way the whole thing at work ?

So what have I done on my 1st week of work ? Below is the breakdown on what Ben did the whole week here.


Day 1

Get use to traffic conditions – only 90 minutes to work

Pretend to work

Makan and more pretend to work



Day 2

Get use to traffic conditions – still 90 minutes

Went to Nusajaya to inspect the Subcon Plant

· Checkout the production line – a whole lot of manual labour, and lousy packaging label.

· Checkout the girls

· Attended consultation meeting to improve subcon production line

· From 0930 till 1400hrs



Day 3

Get use to traffic conditions – still 70 minutes

Yamcha with aunt alice

Makan and more pretend to work

Draft the meeting minutes new format



Day 4

Get use to traffic conditions – still 60 minutes

Yamcha with aunt alice

Makan and more pretend to work

Draft the meeting minutes new format



Day 5

Get use to traffic conditions – World record of 50 minutes

No yamcha with alice

Discuss the meeting minutes new format

Morning perils of working in Singapore

Travelling to Singapore in the morning ..is HELL ! !
Too bad is not near to petrol shell
3 lanes are squeezed into 2 lanes
The gov really no brains
Thanks to construction on the CIQ complex.
My brain also become like corn flakes
Cars and bikes all around
It’s like a merry go round
Bus and lorries are kings
Too bad you don’t have wings
I’m scare outta my wits
I just might lose my tits
It is just so devine
To kena a fine
For driving to work Singapore
Oh what a chore ! !

Health Minister gives sexual education to personal friend

This is the only way to live man ! what can a man in his 60’s do anymore but TEACH the young ?

She was willing to learn the ways of the force !

Great BJ

Exceptional doggy style

Great bed

I mean…what more can a guy ask for ?

It is love ? no ? is it for the sex ? no ?

It’s all for the sole purpose of promoting sexual education among the young ..

Aiyoh…you guys and gals really sensitive…

4th Week at New Workplace: Libertas!

4th Week at New Workplace: Libertas!

One day to close one month of work here. It means that it is one month since I last saw the venerable guys and gals of the SCS Faction. Also, it means that it was a month since I last saw Ankh and Deli zapping by my car on the highway. Duh.

Tit for tat, I saw many interesting things at this place. As stated earlier in my log, liberty is rampant; the workers come and go as they please, run around playing in the office and pay no heed to the higher management's raffle. In my previous workplaces, such reckless attitudes would warrant an entrenchment suit from the HR department. Here, apparently it has not occurred as far as the oh-so-confidential staff records are concerned (heh, try hiding data from a data miner). How do they do that? Simple.
Even though they worked at their own pace, they really do their jobs. Even if they decide to walk in at 9 AM and walked out at 9.10 AM, if their work is done, the tactical management deemed it alright. Working at own pace have its merits; most programmers, myself included, just could not get their brain logics moving in the heat of the day, so ditching day's work for a nocturnal stint is routine. It's not indiscipline, it's just less-than-normal work hours.
Another reason is that they know their rights and their position. In a software-oriented firm, programmers are key staffs and the main drive. Firing a programmer, even a lowly one on the basis of indiscipline is very, very risky, since it is easier finding a production line worker than a trained computer scientist. Well, everyone can do repetitive manual labor, but few can tolerate the mathematically stressing pressure a computer scientist faces everyday. By exploiting these facts, the workers here enjoy a level of freedom uncommon in most places.

Nerfing up Current Malaysian Road System: Is it possible?

taken from yussairi entry.

Nerfing up Current Malaysian Road System: Is it possible?

As I sat here, alone, while everyone else go off in search of fun somewhere out of the office, I stumbled upon two horrible news.
Both of them are about lorries vs cars, involving deaths and only a few hundred kilometers apart of each other. Plus, one of the victim vehicle doesn't even move, it was queuing to pay toll, only to have a hulking behemoth crush it from behind. How unfortunate. Hmm...
Perhaps it is time for current transportation cycle to get some revision. More often than not, accidents involving lorries crushing on smaller vehicles will definitely bring death, owing to the huge inertial moment of the larger vehicles. However hazardous a lorry/trailer is, they are vital to daily logistic businesses of the nation, so the solution lies somewhere else; the physics of an accident.

As stated earlier, a lorry can survive a crash against vehicles smaller than its size because of its mass and durability. On the other hand, the smaller vehicles will take the full brunt of the crushing damage and a lot of the lorry's kinetic energy will be passed down as a brain-splattering, bone-shattering, muscle-smashing impulse energy upon the vehicle's occupant. More often than not, it is this impulse that kills. The effect of the Newtonian law of physics in this kind of accident is unavoidable; an equilibrium must be reached in such situation, resulting in the smaller objects receiving the larger portion of energy.

One crazy idea that I've thought of during my school days is this:

We all know that the impulse created in a collision is caused by the mass of a body multiplied by its speed and added by the differentials of many other factors such as wind speed, friction and the like. In case of brakes failing at high speed, what can lessen the kinetic energy?
Why, the simplest way is to disperse the body along the movement path, creating smaller objects of lesser mass that goes around at random projection angles. Self-destruction. Do not bother to steer or pull up the brakes during an eventual accident. The easiest way is to blow up the crashing vehicle before it slams onto other vehicles. Initial explosion of the chassis and the trailing container can throw up as many as 70% of materials, mostly glasses, steel and plastics into other directions, reducing the object's mass. This way, instead of a 100% mass slamming in a straight line onto an object, maybe there will be 30% of burning wreckage slamming in a straight line and 70% others going anywhere else. A good place to install the destructor would be in around the engine and wheel systems, the heaviest part of a lorry. Lack of movement power caused by the initial destruction of the movement gears (wheels, axles, etc.) build up friction, which can slow down the lorry enough to reduce the impulse upon collision.
The limitation of such grisly method is the trailer content, and the will of the driver itself. For trailers, the container may be designed to be detached upon explosion, if it is small enough. Drivers, on the other hand, will find it hard to pull the self-destruct trigger and get out just in time. But, death of one is better than death of many, right? Plus, the loathsome condition of many lorries on Malaysian road makes it all the sweeter to just blow them up. The horrible maintenance of lorries is the primary reason behind the freak lorry accidents of Malaysia anyway, with stories about suddenly failing brakes, detached wheel and so on and so forth.

Self-destruct mechanism may be a strange and dangerous way for an accident prevention plan, and even more so in Malaysia where the dispersed container may fly around hurting other road-users. But, it is stranger still to see how, despite the massiveness of trailers buzzing along the highways of Europe and the U.S., there are relatively few lorry-accidents. Of that, I have found a striking similarity.

Segregation. Some of the highways there are segregated steeply for each form of vehicles. The road experts there know that a collision between bodies of more-or-less equal masses, for example, a bike vs a bike, yield higher survival rate and less critical injuries. In Malaysia, such segregation has been enforced in some of the highways, but not all. Perhaps it is time to extend the segregation to everywhere else.

Current law may be adequate enough to prevent accidents involving large vehicles, but it is the enforcement that matters. We must put a stop to drug addicts and reckless people becoming drivers, and put up a well-disciplined and well-trained person in stead. Some people just don't bother; I've seen near-tumbling trailers rushing along a busy road at about 140 km/h. The theoretical energy carried by the speeding may be about 10 to the power of 9 Newtons or more. Thus, the impulse generated by a sudden collision would sum up to about 10 to the power of 15 Newtons or more, depending on the time frame; the more sudden the collision, the higher the impulse.

Whatever the feasible solution is, we have to make it quick. We don't want to make yet another person receiving a scraped-up brain blobs and a few rib shreds of his/her loved one at the morgue.

this sypmtom rarely happens in the 1st born child but it normally happens in a mom with more than 5 children. The cure would be to remove the uterus right away. But the doctors wanted to give the wife a chance at giving birth to a second baby by saving the uterus

2300; she was transferred to ICU
looked pale and no bodily functions
24hrs were super critical

0200; left the hospital for a good night rest.

30DEC
1100; woke up early in the morning for breakfast
si beh tu lan ...woo hoo
GOT A COLD ...
1200; visited the sis again.
critically stable, not losing blood
but fear blood infection
since her body is filled with other people blood
so antibodies were pumped into her to make sure no infection lah
1500; makan lunch
lepak a bit
took pics of her new nephew to show the sister later
1830; visit the sis again, got the same update from bro in law
2100; makan fu gua tang later

31Dec
1000; woke up and makan
1200; visit the sister
waited outside for 0230hrs.
0500; ate nasi beriyani at restoran sayed taman perling
1530; went to lepak at angsana mall leh
saw a lot of malay people
malay stuff
malay food
malay not lenglui...mua haa haa...
1700; went back to visit the sis
she was breathing by herself and already craving for milo..
mua haa ...haa ...
i guess you cant just live on hospital food lor....
this is so funny wor.
waited and slept at the bench another 3hrs
2100; went back liao

FINALLY THE ORDEAL HAS ENDED ON NEW YEAR EVE 2007...

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT YEAR

Trio jailed over Chua sex DVD

BATU PAHAT: Two people were fined RM15,000 and jailed four days each by a magistrate's court here after they admitted to making copies of the sex DVDs featuring former Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

Another woman was fined RM10,000 and jailed five days by the same court for having the DVDs.

In Johor Baru, a 48-year-old man pleaded not guilty to a charge of having the DVDs.
