Traveling tips for Australia and New Zealand can be but peculiar, matching the uniqueness of the places you are going to visit!1. Drive on the left-land lane
If you are in the driver seat and the middle of the street is on your left, then you are driving the wrong way! Australia and New Zealand still have in place the British way of driving on the left -hand lane.2. Don’t hitch-hike
If you don’t drive, find any other means of traveling, such as bus, train, plane; all except hitch – hiking. Be careful, it is forbidden, even illegal to hitch – hike.3. Dress accordingly
Dress accordingly to the season and region you are visiting. Wear waterproof coat if visiting New Zealand during “cold” season. Wear thick soled and long boots when walking around the Australian bush and high grass.4. Beware of weather and animals
Dressing properly will help protect yourself from the whims of nature and most importantly, from the whims of animals. Australia is known for its biting and poisonous creatures, which include crocodiles, snakes, spiders and sharks. Watch your step and respect warning signs!5. Winter is summer
The seasons are reversed as compared to what you may be used to. You can swim form November to April and sky in New Zealand in July and August. During “summer” always use sun block lotion; otherwise you may easily get sunstroke.6. Carry water
An extremely important piece of advice is to always have enough water with you and drink it in order to prevent dehydration. Plan you water supply according to the time and distances you will travel: an hour should equal a liter of water.7. Save some money
You are required to have a visa to go to Australia and New Zealand. There nothing strange about this. Still, do not spend all your money while visiting, as you will also have to pay a 30 Australian dollars tax when leaving Australia, and a 25 New Zealand dollars one when departing New Zealand.

According to a recent eMarketer study, Forrester Research predicts that B2B firms will spend $54 million on social media marketing in 2014, up from just $11 million in 2009. As more and more B2B companies understand the benefits of social media, the use of networking tools for marketing purposes is steadily increasing.

Before engaging in social media, it is vital for B2B companies to figure out what tools are most suitable and likely to offer maximum returns. Although there are numerous tools out there, each with its benefits and limitations, the general consensus is that LinkedIn is an excellent networking tool and the most popular choice for B2B companies.

Other advantages include generating web traffic, building influential business relationships and for recruitment purposes.However, other channels also have their advantages. Our research shows how B2B companies can use other social networking channels (besides LinkedIn) to add value to their businesses:* Facebook Can Be Useful Too:Does Facebook benefit B2B companies? Absolutely! With 71% B2B marketers favoring Facebook, this is the second most widely used social media platform after LinkedIn. By having a Facebook presence, you can:o Generate Quality Leads: Yes, like LinkedIn, Facebook can also help generate quality leads that could later transition into sales.

This account allows clients and customers to connect via a ‘back channel’, enabling them to participate in an event remotely. These ‘events’ include company presentations and webinars.o Capgemini: Capgemini uses Twitter to communicate with alliance partners, clients, employees and most importantly, for keeping a check on competitors.What makes Twitter the #3 social media tool for B2B marketers is its simplicity, which provides marketers with a wide range of options on how to use it.

By giving a voice to the industry experts they hired, IBM was able to highlight the people behind their products, showing the human side of the company.While videos are known to be powerful marketing tools for B2C companies, innovative and informative videos can also be an important part of a B2B company’s marketing arsenal. For a business audience, videos serve as a condensed, appealing way to absorb content.

This gives the necessary visibility, increases brand awareness and ensures maximum reach. When Canadian supply chain management company, Kinaxis, wanted to spread fun and informative content around their business, the company produced seven video series. Additionally, the company launched KinaxisTV, a more serious channel that featured analyst, customer and company videos on best practices for supply chain management issues, trends and solutions.Social media tools such as StumbleUpon and SlideShare may not be as popular as Facebook or LinkedIn; nevertheless we recommend B2B marketers include them as part of their marketing plan as they are proven to be highly effective in driving website traffic and generating leads.* StumbleUpon StumbleUpon: If you’re looking to drive B2B traffic to your website, then StumbleUpon is your answer. Once your business gets noticed on this social bookmarking site, you could give your website a little boost by starting a StumbleUpon Champion.

In fact, some studies have shown that StumbleUpon actually attracts more traffic to your website than any other social media site outside of Facebook.Slideshare* SlideShare: What makes SlideShare one of the most important and highly used tools for businesses and professionals? SlideShare enables companies to not just share their business presentations with clients and partners on the web, but also allows for others to directly view your company’s marketing presentations instead of depending on Google for industry related information. This in turn, attracts business users and functions as an important tool for lead generation. In 2009, team SlideShare.net launched two business services; i)Adshare, which allows users to promote their presentations on SlideShare by paying a pay-per-click rate ii)LeadShare, a service that lets you embed a form in your slide show to capture potential leads.SummaryThe fact that over 90% of B2B buyers are already using social media tools to research and execute purchases shows that B2B marketing via social media is poised for significant growth in the future. Industry experts predict B2B social media marketing budgets to skyrocket over the next five years. Statistics such as these are prompting business marketers to broaden their marketing mix to include social media, instead of simply having a web presence in the form of a static company webpage.Using Social Media for B2B marketing also has other rewards; B2B companies looking to leverage social media to its maximum potential are going that extra mile by monitoring their social media activities. Our research shows that social media monitoring for B2B companies is not just about listening; the insights gained through social media monitoring is enabling the B2B industry identify new offerings, helping them establish revenue generating partnerships in the process.With more B2B companies using popular networking channels such as LinkedIn, followed by Facebook and Twitter, the myth social media is not for B2B marketing is gradually being dispelled. StumbleUpon and SlideShare are also very popular tools that can significantly help marketing efforts. As companies understand the opportunities these channels offer and how they can benefit business, we expect both large and small-to-medium businesses to use these platforms for greater returns. LinkedIn and Facebook maybe huge now, but video, blogs and smaller networking sites are expected to be the new frontiers. Unlike static websites (now considered to be passé), the direct engagement model social media offers is set to transform the business-customer relationship in the years to come.
