The Future of Digital Marketing (Updated Guide)

With the emergence of a digital era, the marketing landscape has grown to become versatile and immersive. It’s an ecosystem under constant change, making it imperative to keep on top of trends. Importantly, it allows you to be of benefit to your brand, and also – to a large degree – the clients and businesses you’re involved with.

As we recover from the pandemic with hopes of finding a better year in 2021, we notice the importance weighed into user or unified customer experience, facets that focus on micro-moments, highly targeted advertising, and functionality. But that’s not all; in most cases, these innovations run through a constant process of refinement – AI-driven, mostly.

But given all the advancements, where exactly does the future of digital marketing in future stand with next-generation technologies or is digit? What combines them, or better yet, what are the factors we ought to keep an eye on moving further into 2021 and beyond? Let’s take a look at all these and what’s new in digital marketing.

Top 5 Features that Define the Future of Digital Marketing

1. Artificial Intelligence

Even within the siloed context of digital marketing, the field of artificial intelligence is rather broad. In the marketing context, AI usually fits into the meta-analysis of broad-spectrum data sets and using said data sets to make business decisions. Despite the technology still being in its infancy, we live in a world with examples stemming from our day-to-days.

For example, Netflix and Amazon have built-in AI features that help with transactions and recommendations. The future of AI in digital marketing has endless possibilities, with face and voice recognition, digital assistants, content creation, chatbots, and targeted marketing strategies and marketing agencies. It is expected to become the norm with respect to marketing strategies due to its spectacularly accurate ability to analyze consumer behavior, which in turn feeds into something more personalized and interactive.

2. AI-Powered Digital Assistants

Think Google Assistant or Alexa for starters. AI-powered digital assistants are designed to stay connected to people and assist with functions in their day-to-days. The market on these personal assistants is predicted to reach roughly 1.6 billion users by 2020. In fact, devices made by different companies are even able to connect with each other for information; they are, in a way, collaborating.

On the other hand, users will be given the opportunity to watch AI evolve on a business and personal level. AI-based technologies are pacing to improve at a rapid pace, including voice recognition and other personalized services – based on the data analysis of consumer behavior.

3. A Shifting Social Media

It is more about how we are beginning to use social media as a platform, as a variation to its original purpose. What once started as a platform for peer-to-peer interactions has now evolved into a place of entertainment, with users watching more videos or digital media than specifically using them for social purposes. Additionally, users are now beginning to increasingly demand a more user-focused and less ad-focused means of interacting with peers or being entertained.

This urges marketers to keep an eye on how social media platforms choose to incorporate new and explicit advertising strategies, in addition to understanding smart and implicit methodologies to collecting customer information.

4. OTT

From the silver screens to the smallest of screens, watching movies have undergone a significant evolution. Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic that swept across the world and made it immobile for nearly a year, OTT has become a part of most households. With Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon prime ruling the world, there is a gamut of international to national and regional options to choose from, depending on the consumer’s budget.

The platforms have also given rise to a plethora of content and talent pool who earlier had limited scope. Marketers have already begun their journey in this domain, with targeted advertisements for their consumers. The future scope of digital marketing in OTT is ample, and it will be worth the wait to see the growth of this platform!

5. Augmented Reality

Remember the craze around Pokemon Go and Google AR animals not so long back? The future of online marketing looks bright in augmented reality. A unique experience is created when artificial elements extracted from imagination and the real world are juxtaposed.

In recent times, it has become one of the most exciting technologies in which marketers love engaging their consumers. It has brought about a shift in the way marketers predicted consumer behavior. From games, to healthcare, real estate, and more, augmented reality apps soon will broaden the scope of digital marketing in the future.

Conclusion:

To sum up, with the growing numbers of smartphones and digital footprint, the future of digital marketing looks very radiant. Marketers are becoming more agile and making decisions faster driven by data.

The most interesting of uninteresting races - Sakhir GP preview

A couple of weeks ago, it felt that F1’s final triple header of 2020 was going to be a quiet affair. After Mercedes and Hamilton wrapped up their respective titles, it seemed that the main story for the 3 races in the Levant would be the battle for 3rd in the constructors’ championship. Yes, there were still races to be won, and some seats up for grabs, and the Perez-Albon axis would be a focal point for pundits, but it felt very much like the twilight of the season.

Well, F1 comes at you fast (literally), and even more so in 2020, it seems. On Sunday, Hamilton’s 11th win of the season was overshadowed by Grosjean’s massive crash and the ensuing conversation over safety and what went well and not so well. After the race, it felt like this topic and Grosjean’s recovery would be the main story of the week, but then, for the third time, a driver caught COVID, and this time, it was the champion-elect.

Lewis Hamilton tested negative three times during the race weekend, but started feeling symptoms on Monday morning, and had two positive results on that day. The announcement the following day sent the F1 world into a spin. It would be the first time since Brazil 2006 that an F1 grid would not include Hamilton, and, given his dominance throughout the season, any race without him suddenly becomes a much more open and intriguing affair.

But even more crucial than that was the question on everyone’s mind: with Hamilton ruled out of (at least) the Sakhir GP, who would step in for him at Mercedes?

The reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne was the most obvious choice. Already acquainted with the team and the car (at least via simulator), the Belgian was wrapping up preseason testing for the upcoming Formula E season and was already planned to fly to Bahrain anyway. But the Mercedes hierarchy had him as a number two choice, as this was a major opportunity for them to test the heir apparent to the team in their actual car.

It is no secret that Mercedes reached out to Williams to enquire about the availability of George Russell for 2021, before making the decision of giving Bottas another 1-year extension. The Grove-based team told them they did not wish to release him from his contract for next year, but there was no doubt that Russell was a strong candidate to take one of the Silver Arrows seats for 2022. And if Hamilton decides to continue into the new F1 era that will start in that season, then it is Bottas’ seat that will be, once again, in question.

This was, then, the perfect opportunity for Mercedes to evaluate their protege in an actual race environment, and have him go toe-to-toe with his main rival for that seat. I don’t think anyone in the team is expecting Russell to beat Bottas outright, but he won’t need to either. If he stays close to the Finn in the timesheets and impresses the team with work ethics and commitment, he will be taking a huge step towards securing that dream move.

Bottas, on the other hand, will be perfectly aware of this, which puts some additional pressure on him to perform. He cannot afford to be beaten by his one-weekend teammate; that would absolutely seal his fate for 2022. Ultimately, there might not be much that he can do to help his cause. Even if he does win the race and keeps Russell comfortably at bay, it will be the youngster’s performance that will be of more interest to the team. If Russell does well enough, there is nothing Bottas can do.

It is crazy that a race at the tail end of the 2020 season can have such deep ramifications into the 2022 season, but this has been a crazy year in more ways than one. This one-off race in a crazy layout of the Sakhir circuit will see two debutants and a stand-in for the champion-elect, while two drivers recover from health issues. There will be plenty of interest to see how all these permutations will affect the weekend, and what these out-of-place drivers can achieve. And, most importantly, we might even see the Mercedes 2022 line-up take shape.

Talking points

• Another driver under pressure to perform this weekend will be Latifi, whose seat is not in danger but that will be left to look silly if he is beaten by his teammate. Also, the shuffle up front puts even more pressure on Albon, who will be expected to beat his good friend George, since he is much more accustomed to his car. As if he needed any more pressure on him.

• Stoffel Vandoorne ended up being the big loser in the Mercedes decision. The Belgian driver just does not seem to get a lucky break with F1: after two years at a McLaren close to its lowest point, he doesn’t even get the chance to fulfil his role as reserve driver for the best team ever in the history of the sport. Perhaps it is best that he focuses his career elsewhere, as his FE car also seems to be capable of fighting for wins and getting into the title fight.

• Wednesday morning saw most of the big announcements of the week in terms of driver swaps, but the best news of that day was Grosjean’s release from hospital. After that enormous scare, it was fantastic to see him walk out with a huge smile on his face, and hearing him say that he wanted to return for the Abu Dhabi GP, for what will be his F1 swan song. Absolutely nothing will beat seeing him back on the grid for that.

• His vacated seat at Haas, as well as Russel’s vacated seat at Williams, will provide the opportunity to two drivers to have their debut in F1. Pietro Fittipaldi will stand in for the Frenchman at Haas; the Brazilian is the team’s reserve driver and spent the year in the garage with them, so will be well acquainted with the team members and their procedures. The same can be said for Jack Aitken, who will run for Williams. After an unlucky run with Campos in this F2 season, this will be a richly deserved reward.

• Fittipaldi’s run with Haas will not represent an opportunity for him to stake a claim on one of their seats for next year, as the team announced their line-up, confirming the rumours that had been circulating for a few weeks. Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin, respectively first and third in the F2 championship, will be driving in F1 for the American team. The return of the Schumacher name was expected and it will be great to see Mick test his talent at the highest level. He hasn’t blitzed the field this season, but rather has impressed with consistency and regularity, traits that bode well for a future champion.

Mazepin arrives with the tag of paid driver - which isn’t in itself incorrect, but is one that glues to the skin of the driver and is incredibly difficult to remove, regardless of results. The Russian has been slowly climbing the table in F2, having won 2 races. However, his general demeanour and attitude, on and off the track, leaves many question marks over this decision. His father brings significant backing to the team, but if he doesn’t clean his act the negative impact of his behaviour can be costly for Haas.

• I am truly excited to see a completely different layout this weekend. The current calendar (2020 exceptions aside) features tracks with so many similarities, it is truly refreshing to see a short, ultra-quick layout, just to shake things up. Qualifying risks being quite the mess, and lapped cars will be a nuisance to the leaders, but I, for one, can’t wait to see them blast around Bahrain’s outer loop.

Marketing Trends for the Reminder of 2021

At one time, artificial intelligence, data-driven Digital marketing, and the optimization of the voice search engine (VSEO) were ideas that cut through the jokes. Today, these new digital marketing strategies are among the priorities for many business owners by 2021. And why wouldn’t they? After all, if your business aims to stay competitive in today’s online environment, you have to adapt to the ever-changing changes in digital marketing.

As we get closer to the end of the year, it is a good time to look forward to where we are going and the marketing strategies, we are likely to see in 2021. I have already touched on how we can expect marketing to change at a strategic level, and in this article, I will look in detail at some of the specific strategies I should look at. To make a solid short-term plan, it is important to look at where you are heading in the long run. No one can say with 100% certainty what the future of the market will look like, but industry experts can provide predictable insights and speculation of other opportunities that may be available in the years to come. As advertisers, we need to look at statistics, research, and data-driven trends to see the possibilities. But make sure there is plenty of room for flexibility and flexibility in your marketing strategy.

For example, no one could have predicted how 2020 would change the face of marketing. Those who have planned their marketing activities based on what they know at the beginning of the year find themselves needing to abandon their plan and start over. But some things are sure. The future of marketing and business will be very different, inclusive, and connected to the real needs of customers. It will not be a waste of money on explicit advertising in outdated ideas that are no longer in line with the reality of the world in which we live.

Technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, therefore, some of these approaches are technologically focused. However, there is also the reversal of the dynamics of digital marketing and the automation of interactions between products and consumers, as well as the desire to make marketing more personal. While technologies such as AI and data-driven marketing continue to grow, the main focus will be on people, not technology.

Quick Take:

• Marketing strategies that will prevail over the next 12 months will include Customer Experience, Employee Engagement, and Visualization Content Writing.

• The definition of what we take as “marketing” is constantly changing and expanding.

• Marketing goes beyond branding and advertising; Advertisers need to work in partnership with other departments to focus on building positive customer experiences and involving them in long-term relationships.

International Customer Experience

Every year is a customer year. We see a huge shift in beliefs about what marketing is. No more trying to convince people to buy or work with your company. Instead, priorities have helped to provide a better customer experience that will keep people coming back for more. In a sense, when you focus on creating a good business culture and providing good service, marketing is almost self-serving.

Not only do customers lose patience, but they also want those fish tacos brought in a silver plate. Not literally, but they expect a seamless experience from the first spark of interest to customers after the sale. From custom-made submissions that help you solve problems to make a purchase decision in a customer-cantered culture throughout their customer journey, a feeling that brings quality to all channels is likely to benefit their business.

In addition to personalized advertising messages, find ways to listen and answer their questions. Organize your digital marketing team and your sales and customer service teams to deliver quality to all of their information.The growth of online Digital marketing course content Writing has given consumers more power. They are no longer partying when it comes to learning about products. The waiters let you tell you how good your products are. Instead, they go out and do their research.

So, you have to give them something beyond the details. 73% of people say customer knowledge is an important factor in their purchasing decisions, but currently, only 49% of US consumers say today’s companies offer a better experience.

Conclusion

While opinions from experts were varied, there was a lot of overlap focusing on content Writing and customers. When you think about it, these are always greenways where retailers should always be sensible, but sometimes it can be easy to get lost in the weeds of our daily work or chase after the latest shiny thing (anyone who spends most of their time at the Clubhouse there?).

In conclusion, some of the best advice comes down to the relationships we should have with our customers and the general public, including the important role that product influencers can play.

Collapse in HGV apprentices behind empty shelf crisis, warns Labour

A collapse in the numbers of people signing up for transport and warehousing apprenticeships has driven the current delivery crisis causing empty shelves in supermarkets and shortages at fast-food chains, Labour has claimed.

The party released figures showing that entrants on transportation apprenticeships have fallen by almost half (49 per cent) since 2015/16 and by a massive 83 per cent for warehousing and distribution.

Future transport spokeswoman Kerry McCarthy blamed the government for failing to ensure the supply of new drivers in an industry facing the “ticking time-bomb” of a rapidly ageing workforce, with the average person behind the wheel of an HGV now 55 years old and fewer than 1 per cent aged under 25.

With drivers reaching retirement at a rate of 6,000 a year and others leaving the profession because of , the current crisis can be expected to worsen unless urgent action is taken to attract more young people onto apprenticeships, she said.

Recent weeks have seen major chains including Nando’s, McDonald’s and Greggs blame distribution problems for shortages preventing them from serving popular items to customers, while the boss of Iceland supermarkets has warned that the supply chain crisis could “cancel” Christmas.

The Road Haulage Association says the UK is around 100,000 drivers short, with Brexit and Covid blamed for worsening chronic labour shortages in the industry.

In July, ministers announced a short-term relaxation to limits on drivers’ working hours and said measures were being taken to increase the throughput of HGV driving tests in response to the crisis, after the pandemic led to a 30,000 fall in the number of drivers getting their heavy goods licences last year.

But the government has resisted industry calls for a relaxation of immigration rules to try to attract back some of the thousands of drivers from EU countries who have left the UK since Brexit.

And Labour today accused the government of failing to ensure adequate supplies of home-grown drivers, pointing to figures showing that numbers of trainees in key apprenticeships were falling long before the impact of the virus and EU withdrawal was felt.

Numbers on transportation operation and maintenance courses fell from 16,620 in 2015/16 to 8,430 in 2020/21, while starts on warehousing and distribution roles declined from 14,860 to 2,500 over the same period.

“The shortage of drivers is now visible on a daily basis through empty shelves in shops and closures on our high streets,” said Ms McCarthy.

“But these stats show things are likely to get even worse, as the government has failed to encourage young people into the industry to replace retiring drivers. This is completely unsustainable.

“It is increasingly clear that the government does not have a plan to address a national crisis that is grinding our economy to a halt.”

With only 3,000 vocational driving tests being taken a week, she warned it will be months before the huge shortage in drivers is filled. And she said it was dangerous to rely on longer hours for drivers to keep the supply chain moving.

Labour has called on the government to work with the Migration Advisory Committee to determine whether HGV driving should be designated a skills-shortage profession under the immigration points system, to allow the recruitment of more foreign drivers.

Preparing for a new normal in FM

NEWS FEATURES FIRE & SECURITY SUBMISSIONS RESOURCES

By Mauro Ortelli, Managing Director, 14forty

To say that 2020 was a rollercoaster would be an understatement. The Coronavirus has impacted almost every aspect of life and the FM world is no exception. However, it is important to find silver linings as the world begins to find its feet.

Although the pandemic is far from over, 2021 presents a chance to reflect on all that has happened, recognise the challenges faced and spot the opportunities for growth and development. So, what can be taken away from this experience?

The impact of the Coronavirus

Navigating these unprecedented times has required total transparency with clients – complete candidness about changes to services and new measures that must be taken. Like the rest of the world, many clients have been faced with uncertainty or cash flow worries causing them to turn to suppliers for compassion and flexibility.

A recent survey by Skynova showed that four in five businesses lost their biggest client during the pandemic. As a result, FM providers have been required to adapt quickly to the changing government regulations as well as the impact that these new restrictions are having on clients’ individual circumstances.

Often, this has led to providers using their discretion to accommodate clients’ financial situations. It has also meant reacting to closures, or swiftly revising services to provide additional cleaning where necessary.

While this has without doubt had its challenges, the sudden need for camaraderie and goodwill has in many cases strengthened relationships between FM providers and their clients. Not only has the pandemic resulted in an increased level of client trust, it has also clarified beyond doubt the unrivalled level of expertise that true specialists can offer.

The future of client relationships

While it is impossible to predict exactly what a post-Covid world will look like, the improved relationship with clients is already leading to a heavier reliance on leading FM providers for business support and advice.

Rather than operating as a separate entity, FM professionals are becoming more integrated into the operation of an organisation. Clients are more likely to involve trusted FM in central decision-making regarding future plans, turning to them for guidance on how best to operate in line with legislation, and working with them closely to develop tailored solutions.

This new dynamic means that providers are also being asked to assist with a wider range of services, including those previously out of scope, because of their ability to demonstrate flexibility and innovation throughout the pandemic.

This is particularly the case for operators that are part of a multi-business unit. Whether it is due to the financial strain of the virus or a direct result of their improved relationship with providers, clients seem to be more alert to opportunities to bundle multiple services under one contract. They are actively looking to negotiate deals by drawing on the scale of larger suppliers in a bid to drive value.

The return to work: future challenges

Change is not going away. Making sure that the systems put in place continue to provide a safe environment for workers is an ongoing responsibility for FM providers. It requires a fully flexible approach by all parties involved and an open and honest dialogue to maintain the appropriate standards.

As employees return to work, this role will become more challenging. FM providers will be responsible for minimising the psychological unease of workers, as well as dealing with the physical complications caused by a much higher footfall. While social distancing rules are in place, delivering services, such as regular cleaning, without causing major interruption to areas occupied by employees will require intricate planning and cooperation.

Then there is the issue of cost. Most clients are currently spending significantly more on hygiene services than they were pre-Covid, but for some this may be unsustainable. As life progresses into a new ‘business as usual’, FM providers will be faced with the challenge of balancing employee reassurance with total expenditure, ensuring that all parties remain satisfied.

Preparing for the future

Change is never easy. However, there are numerous steps that FM providers can take to prepare for the future.

Involve employees of clients:

Do not make assumptions without the relevant information. To care for the wellbeing of a workforce, suppliers need to know what drives them to perform at their best. They should work closely with clients to involve their employees in planning processes – how do they feel?

Last summer, Bupa Health Clinics found that 65% of people were anxious about returning to work. If there is nervousness about using public transport, for example, then FM providers can plan short term, and possibly long term, solutions for a higher demand for parking spaces.

Be seen to be clean:

Communication is key. Hygiene is one of the biggest concerns about returning to work with a survey by Totaljobs revealing that more than 1 in 3 are worried about cleanliness in the workplace. Therefore, it is important to provide workforces with visible reassurance that the necessary steps are being taken to ensure their safety.

Move out of hours cleaning to within working hours where possible. Give members of the cleaning team different uniforms to demonstrate their individual roles and responsibilities. It is also important to note that without displaying adequate signage and instructions to clearly highlight the new cleaning systems and processes in place, some efforts to provide reassurance could be going to waste.

Future proof:

Ensure changes are long-term, not temporary. Unfortunately, Covid-19 is likely to continue to impact businesses in the coming months and even years. Consider how practices can be easily adapted to prepare for changing regulations.

It is crucial that cost is sustainable for clients when planning long-term. How can the labour structure be altered to provide a focus on Covid-19 imperative tasks, while reducing or ceasing other less important tasks? In which areas can staff be multi-skilled to allow them to take on additional roles? This means fewer cleaning staff would be needed while reducing costs on the clients’ behalf.

Review use of space:

Could space be used more effectively? Be creative in reimagining how people can be distributed more evenly, reducing the risk presented by clusters of employees. Encourage the right behaviours with clearly signposted one-way systems and social distancing measures and check there is a well-maintained air extraction system.

It may also be necessary to prepare for any further support that may be required in terms of additional event space for clients whose limited real estate is overwhelmed.

Utilise new innovations:

Encourage people back to normality by introducing new technology such as food pre-order systems and dining room usage monitoring apps. Those providing cleaning services should also consider new technology to establish whether they could make cost or time efficiencies, whilst maintaining high quality cleaning.

Take full advantage of innovative cleaning products. Ozone, for example, is a pale blue gas which protects us from the sun in the earth’s ozone layer. Tap water can be infused with Ozone to create an all-natural solution which kills 99.99% of harmful bacteria and many viruses.

Ultimately, there is no proven method for successfully navigating the months ahead. Every business is different. Therefore, employers shouldn’t be afraid to experiment with different solutions to learn what works for them. Remember – no one size fits all!

Budget 2020-21: Key Hits & Misses for Real Estate

Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, unveiled the Union Budget 2020-21, which has been awaited with bated breath by multiple sectors of the Indian economy. Especially in the real estate industry, its desire for consumer demand and sales recovery is pinned on certain government tax relief and infrastructure spending plans.

With the real estate sector struggling due to multiple policy reforms and liquidity crunch faced by lenders, pro-sector announcements in Budget 2020-21 mean improved sentiment and prospective revival in housing demand and sales. Let's see which of the industry's expectations did the Ministry of Finance manage to fulfill with the Union Budget 2020-21 and which ones were given a miss?

The Silver Group Team under the leadership of our Chairman Mr. Mukesh Mehta, have listed the key hits & misses of Real Estate in the budget announced for the FY 2020-21

HITS:

1) Benefits to affordable housing:

In order to continue the goal of providing affordable housing under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), FM announced that it will extend the tax benefit of Rs 150,000 for affordable housing loans to one year, from the past March deadline to March 2021 from the former deadline of March 2020. This would propel more first-time homebuyers to enter the market and avail home loan subsidies.

In addition, the tax-exempt approval date provided to developers of affordable housing will also be extended by one year. This will encourage more and more developers to venture into affordable housing, as the luxury sector is already under pressure and competing for long-term buyers.

The most convincing aspect of the 2020 Budget is the tax relief for individuals. The revised tax system will ensure that the middle class has more disposable income. This may help restore the consumption cycle of the real estate industry and can start the economy. Further, with additional savings, personal investment in housing, especially affordable housing, may increase in the near future.

2) New income tax slabs

FM has introduced a new income tax plan to reduce the tax rate on personal income to 15 lakh rupees per year, provided that taxpayers do not opt for tax exemptions or deductions under the previous tax system for the FY 2019-20. The simplified tax slabs are as follows:

Existing income tax slabs (FY2019-20) Revised income tax slabs (FY2020-21)

Any savings from these tax cuts will mean more disposable income and consequently increase taxpayers’ demand for homeownership. The real estate industry needs a rapid recovery in housing demand before it can return to the growth track. Recently, some potential homebuyers have shelved their purchase decision, and they are expected to reduce housing loan interest rates and real estate price corrections. Although these expectations have not yet been realized, the additional savings can certainly bring them back to the market.

3) Concession on real estate transactions

So far, when calculating taxes based on capital gains or operating profits related to real estate transactions, if the consideration is more than 5% lower than the guide price or calculation rate, the difference is regarded as the income of both parties. FM raised the upper limit by 5% to 10% in the budget speech. This may trigger investors to re-enter the market.

4) Infrastructure funding

FM announced that it will raise funds for the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) in the form of fine prints, including an infrastructure investment of 103 billion rupees, which will be used to complete approximately 6,500 projects, thereby increasing the country's livability. Through the upgrading of railway, subway, highway, and air infrastructure, especially the enhancement of connectivity, always promotes the development of clusters along the line. This helps to create new housing and real estate investment zones.

The budget has been disappointing on the much-needed stimulus needed for real estate and the only cheer has been an extension of tax holiday for affordable housing. However, with the income tax slab cuts, it is possible that the economy may revive and overall demand for real estate may improve.

Misses:

1) No industry status for real estate

There was no announcement of ‘industry’ status for real estate, as this much-awaited expectation remained unaddressed. Had real estate earned the ‘industry’ status, builders would have been able to apply for loans at a lower interest rate, cutting the cost of construction of projects, boosting housing sales across the country.

2) No single-window clearance mechanism

The introduction of a single-window customs clearance system is expected to make it easier to obtain approval for real estate projects, but the budget has not solved the problem. In order to cope with a large number of delays in the project, single-window clearance will be a blessing.

3) No restructuring of loans

The industry expects to restructure housing loans at one time and suspend principal and interest for two years. However, FM missed this issue.

4) Affordable homes value limit unchanged

Another big expectation of the budget is to expand the value limit of affordable housing, but it remains at the level of Rs. 4.5 million. - Mukesh Mehta

Taurus Monthly Horoscope

MONTH OF January

Monthly Snapshot

At last! For the past six months, you may have struggled to shine, and at moments felt outright invisible. That’s all changing as January opens and the hangover of #canceled holidays fades into the rearview. Ready for your cosmic coming out party? The first month of 2021 will happily host it!

On January 6, energizer Mars blasts into your sign after six interminable months stuck in “sleep” mode, and it’s game on. Then electrifying Uranus rouses from a five-month retrograde in Taurus mid-month, and you’ll be an unstoppable force. Yes, Bull, you’re baaaaa-aaaack.

But you won’t just be stampeding at the first metaphorical matador’s cape. Your passionate awakening will be anchored by the heavy-hitting presence of lucky Jupiter and master builder Saturn, which recently relocated to Aquarius and your tenth house of career, achievement and public acclaim. Not only will you have innovative ideas to share, but you’ll also start getting the recognition you deserve. It’s about damn time!

Just get plans underway before Mercury turns retrograde from January 30 to February 20. As the cosmic communicator backspins through Aquarius and your professional zone, you could experience a few slowdowns or setbacks. But with the right amount of advance planning, you’ll be buffered against the mischief maker’s mayhem. Back up your data and devices and make sure everyone’s clear on their marching orders as soon as possible.

Week 1: January 1-10

Finally, your time to shine

Wake-up call! This Wednesday, January 6, is the day you didn’t know that you’ve been waiting for. But it is, Taurus, because your focus, confidence and energy are about to return with a vengeance. Since June 27, 2020, motivator Mars has been in Aries, slogging through your twelfth house of rest, sacrifice and illusions for an extended stay—FOUR times longer than its usual visit!

During this surreal time, you may have become more spiritual, vulnerable or deeply in tune with your emotions. But you also could have felt confused and adrift, as though nothing you attempted quite came together. There was plenty of magic and divine serendipity—which Taurus folk don’t always let themselves dabble in. But in the mundane day-to-day realm, it might have been hard to find your footing. As a stability-seeking sign, you could emerge from this cycle feeling pretty disoriented. But you may also have met a soulmate, grown more emotionally in tune with yourself or discovered how to consciously root into a state of divine grace and acceptance. There are all things that will carry you through any future rough patches!

Your surreal haze gives way to inspired action this week when Mars blazes into Taurus, activating your confidence, charisma and clarity. Mars is here until March 3, a once-every-two-years visit. All that feisty Mars energy will have you raring to go, and its methodical Taurean flow will suit your style of getting things done one item at a time, AND to your exacting standards. You’ll start to feel like your old self again—only better. Thanks to your long twelfth-house “meditation retreat,” you’ll approach your goals with more wisdom and depth, a silver lining that will pay dividends over the long haul.

With all the attention Mars could bring, you’re ready for a style refresh. A new look (or even just a hair, makeup and wardrobe mini overhaul) will help you feel sharp again, inside and out. Any transformations you undertake are sure to enhance your confident glow. And keep up the good work with social distancing for just a bit longer—all of your persistence will pay off.

Week 2: January 11-17

Should you stay or should you go?

Is it time for a bold coming-out party—or should you keep some plans under wraps? The answer is “both” this week as go-getter Mars and disruptor Uranus both make waves in Taurus while tangoing with the other planets.

After feeling suppressed and subdued for the last six months, you’re eager to shout your message from the rooftops. Mars is finally in your sign, and you’ve got something to SAY. But not so fast, Bull. On Wednesday, Januaclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” ry 13, rash Mars will lock into a tense square with tight-lipped Saturn in Aquarius and your conservative, career-driven tenth house.

There will certainly be occasions to speak up boldly, but you’ll need to do so tactfully and tactically. Aside from “just wanting to be heard,” how can you position yourself as a trailblazing leader rather than a hotheaded disruptor? Strike the right balance and you could earn the respect and allegiance of key power players. You’ll want them in your corner this year, Bull! You don’t have to suppress your truth to earn their trust…but know that this is a process, so play the long game.

Besides, on Thursday, January 14, pioneering Uranus will end a five-month retrograde backspin in YOUR sign that began on August 15. As the planet of radical change turns direct (forward) in Taurus, some of your passion projects or cherished personal goals gain momentum…or head in a thrilling new direction. Have you been pondering a new look or waiting to debut a style update? Uranus direct gives the all-clear for you to start turning some heads.

Fun fact: For the next two weeks, there will be ZERO retrograde planets, a great time to make decisive moves. Do it quick, before Mercury turns retrograde on January 30 in your career house. Thursday is also ideal to “go big or go home” because the bold Sun will conjunct transformational Pluto in Capricorn and your visionary ninth house. Swing far out of your comfort zone, Taurus, and try something wildly new and different.

The weekend could bring some bumpy moments as you break out of that shell. On Sunday, January 17, expansive Jupiter and disruptor Uranus lock into a tough square, which only happens every seven years. When these freedom-seeking planets connect, the urge to liberate yourself from any limitations becomes impossible to ignore. But since they’re at odds with each other, you could be pulled between dueling desires to blaze your own trail and move up the career ladder. Jupiter in Aquarius and your career house pushes for professional expansion while Uranus in Taurus prompts you to put your own dreams first. You may need to do a bit of both!

The last Jupiter-Uranus square was in 2014, so look back to that time for any major plot twists. This time around, Jupiter and Uranus are in different signs and parts of your chart. But once again, you’ll feel the urge to break out of anything confining, whether it’s your career path, an image you present to the world or your life direction.

Week 3: January 18-24

Raring to go

Get those ambitious plans ready! Aquarius season begins this week as the Sun joins Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn in the Water Bearer’s domain on Tuesday, January 19, staying until February 18. Aquarius rules your tenth house of career and success, and you’re more than ready to tackle some lofty goals, especially after a long, dragged-out holding pattern for the second half of last year.

You’ll be fired up to make radical changes, possibly a complete pivot, especially on Wednesday, January 20. That day, go-getter Mars and pioneering Uranus will unite in Taurus, awakening your inner trailblazer. Do you have an innovative idea, perhaps one that involves cutting-edge technology? Hire that app developer or start scouting Fiverr wizards who can help you make it a reality. You might also have a vision for how the world can be better and more equitable. Don’t hold back—this outspoken starmap urges you to take a chance and speak up!

Warning: With these two unpredictable planets melding their energies, you could be a bit volatile, especially if someone challenges your vision. You’re eager to move things forward, but this rash energy could tempt you to force your hand. Pro tip: Remain open to feedback instead of adopting a “my way or the highway” attitude. Even if you’re convinced that your approach is best, steamrolling others will only alienate crucial supporters instead of turning them into allies. Keep your ego and temper in check today.

On Saturday, January 23, Mars will lock into a heated square with expansive Jupiter in your career sector. More impulsive and temperamental behavior could be triggered by this week’s second Mars aspect. While it’s great to break out of any limiting beliefs, watch that you don’t shoot yourself in the foot when doing so. Professional pressures could compete with your desire to launch a solo venture or do things your way. Should you play by the rules or flagrantly break them? This Mars-Jupiter square demands that you stick to the plan, at least to some extent, before throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Also on Saturday, the ego-driven Sun gets put in check by mature Saturn (the only adult in the cosmic room today, it seems) as the two make their once-a-year meetup. While this is normally a sobering and even pessimistic day, the Sun-Saturn conjunction provides the pause that could save you from self-sabotage. Step back and take a hard look at your long-term goals rather than just the immediate impact. Where would you like to be a year or two from now? Taking a little time to reflect on that could pay dividends.

Week 4: January 25-31

A boost in the middle

Ups and downs: incoming! The last week of January is bookended by challenging days—with a huge positive boost in the middle. On Tuesday, January 26, the Sun in visionary Aquarius and your tenth house of reputation squares off against troublemaker Uranus in stubborn Taurus and your first house of personal identity. Your desire for stability may be disrupted by parts of your life that are in flux—or your own shaky mood.

If a tempting offer comes your way today, you’ll face a tough decision: Which path forward is best? Work hard to hold your temper if the pressure feels extreme. Take a deep breath and ask yourself what’s most important: the way you’re seen by others or the way you feel inside?

Things heat up in a wonderful way on Thursday, January 28. Considered the “luckiest day of the year” by many astrologers (and recently dubbed the Day of Miracles) this annual conjunction of the Sun and expansive Jupiter will shine a spotlight on your work-life balance, with abundant energy ruling the day on both fronts.

Adding to the day’s fire is a full moon in gregarious Leo and your fourth house of home and family. Is a possible move or some other reshuffling of your living situation on the horizon? This could be a banner day for career and achievements, but it could be hard to find time to indulge in the Leo full moon’s pampering perks. Perhaps a toast with your inner circle is in order?

You’ll want to polish up your public persona/front-facing materials (headshots, website, etc.) earlierclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” this week because on Saturday, January 30, communicator Mercury turns retrograde (https://astrostyle.com/mercury-retrograde) in Aquarius and your tenth house of professional endeavors. This backspin will persist until February 20, so don’t be surprised if a job offer is delayed or presents some plot twists.

Read the fine print and don’t sign on the dotted line just now if possible. Be careful about clashes with clients and authority figures. Any disagreements could be simple crossed wires, but if things get too overblown, you could find yourself stuck making amends or rebuilding a burnt bridge. Hold off on any big announcements and hunker down to work behind the scenes. You can unveil your big plans and projects in late February under more favorable skies.

LOVE & ROMANCE:

At last! Taurus, you could NOT be more ready to put 2020 behind you when it comes to love. Not that it’s been all bad, but you’ve definitely faced some cosmic struggles. Back in the middle of May, your ruling planet, Venus, went retrograde for six weeks. And right as it corrected course at the end of June, the other love planet, Mars, slipped into Aries and your twelfth house of illusions, transitions and hidden agendas for an extended six-month stay (four times longer than usual).

From June 27, 2020, until this January 6, 2021, Mars slogged through this hazy part of your chart, making you unclear about where you stood, fanning the flames of insecurities and blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. While you may have had some wild and windswept romance, the roller-coaster ride of emotions was a lot to bear.

You can reclaim your power as the randy red planet blazes into YOUR sign, staying until March 3. Your confidence, charisma and mojo return with a vengeance. Shake off those sleepy or frumpy vibes and get ready to get back in the game! We understand the timing or a camera-ready debut is inconvenient with so much of the world being shut down now. But we trust that you’ll find safe ways to let the world see your swagger again.

Meanwhile, the other love planet, Venus (your galactic guardian), will be in Sagittarius and your sultry and intimate eighth house until January 8. This should bestow a sexy vibe, but with the galactic goddess in this internally focused sector, you might be feeling a bit insular, which will be easier for attached Bulls than those trotting solo.

But that intensity won’t last long. Once Venus soars into Capricorn and your adventurous, expansive ninth house from January 8 to February 1, nothing can bring you down. Your positive energy will be irresistible, and you’ll feel ready to try something new.

And the next day, January 9, Venus and Mars form a golden trine (120-degree angle of harmony). A long-distance connection could spark for single Bulls. Couples might experience that rarefied and glorious sensation of anything being possible. Do it safely, and it just might be!

Key Dates:

January 9: Venus-Mars trine

Bring on the lasting love! As affectionate Venus and passionate Mars harmonize in stable earth signs, you could have true romance with all the trimmings—sensuality and stability. Skip the “come here now go away” players and their mixed messages. A partner who makes you feel secure is suddenly the most attractive catch in town. Coupled? Mark a long-term relationship with a thoughtful gift to let your mate know how much you cherish them.

Snus Market: Global Sales, Ex-factory Price, Revenue, Gross Margin Analysis 2027

Snus is a moist product made from tobacco. It contains a high amount of nicotine as compared to cigarettes, is highly addictive, and serves as a smokeless product. Unlike cigarettes, snus provides the ease of smoking anywhere. Smoking cigarettes in public is banned or is a punishable offense in many countries because of the harmful effects of combustion. On the contrary, snus can be smoked anywhere as it is smoke-free, which surges the demand for snus products. Snus is made from a mixture of dried leaves of tobacco and salt and is moistened with hot water vapor. The finished product should be stored in the refrigerator, as it contains about 50% water. It is available in the market in portions or loose form. Consumption of snus can damage health and can cause cancer, leading to death. Strict government rules and regulations regarding smoking and contamination of the environment have given rise to the demand for smokeless products such as snus among end users.

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:

The market for snus is facing a decline in growth as it does not come in the list of essential goods.

During COVID-19, consumer demand is shifting toward the essential food items and safety items.

Production and supply chain is hampered due to restriction of labor and the trade barriers.

Top Impacting Factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers, and Impact Analysis

Increase in snus consumption as an alternative for cigarettes and the rise in popularity of smokeless tobacco products around the globe play a significant role in driving the growth of the snus market. Manufacturers are inducing new innovative flavors within the snus products as per the preference and taste of the customers. In addition, increase in consumer awareness of the utilization of snus is expected to foster the market growth of snus globally. Key players are heavily investing within the snus market to lift awareness regarding their product, focusing on producing products having less harmful properties for the health and could be a better alternative to cigarettes. Smokeless tobacco consumption has increased considerably and is estimated to fuel the snus market growth within the coming years.

Cigarette smokers form the most targeted group for loose snus. Surveys by the WHO show that a large number of smokers want to determine stronger snus as an option. The increase in sales of previously launched loose snus with high nicotine content clearly shows a great demand for this product. The low rate of oral, pulmonary, respiratory diseases, and pancreatic cancers related to the utilization of a product is a crucial reason for its adoption among tobacco addicts. The surge in popularity has encouraged manufacturers to supply flavored products, including mint, eucalyptus, berries, spices, bergamot, cedar, citrus, dry fruit, hay, leather, and smoky tea.

Tobacco-free snus is another product that has gained massive acceptance. The manufacturers have created tobacco-free alternatives to keep the merchandise prevalent on the world market, whereby tobacco consumption is seeing a consistent reduction. The merchandise is beneficial to folks that are attempting to quit or reduce their tobacco use. Manufacturers are producing snus containing a mix of herbs and flavors that together create the same experience as the regular snus, this, coupled with production by famous brands and a variety of flavors, creates new growth opportunities for the global snus market. The snus product is available in the market on various online and offline channels, like tobacco stores, convenience stores, hypermarkets, several e-commerce websites and other retails.

Asia-Pacific holds a significant share across the globe. Market growth in the Asia-Pacific will be driven by government initiatives to reduce cigarette consumption through price increase and additional taxes on cigarettes. For example, the impending tax hike in Japan and India is affecting traditional sales of cigarettes, which in turn creates tremendous opportunities for the growth of the snus products.
