What You Need to Know About Dating in 2022

YourUpdateTV

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, has revealed 2022’s dating trends ahead of Dating Sunday, also known as the first Sunday of the new year and one of the busiest days for the online dating industry. Recently, Shan Boodram, Sex and Relationship Expert at Bumble, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss dating trends and what people can expect in the New Year. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/7FH9VJpcN-o According to Bumble’s latest study, the New Year will bring about: Explori-dating: The pandemic has made almost half of us (48%) question what our ‘type’ is. Looking ahead to 2022, more than 1 in 3 people on Bumble would describe their approach to dating as exploratory (43%) and more than one-third (34%) of respondents in the U.S. say they are more open to exploring a relationship with someone who lives in another city. Consciously Single: 2022 is all about finding that someone, not just anyone. The pandemic has made half of us (53%) realize that it’s OK to be alone for a while. Dry Dating: Throughout the pandemic, many have changed their relationship to alcohol and adopted new drinking habits. In fact, 1 in 3 (34%) people globally are now more likely to consider going on a ‘dry date’ than they were before the pandemic. “Dating Sunday” is known as the first Sunday of the new year and one of the busiest days for the online dating industry. Last year, Bumble saw that the highest volume of messages in the US were exchanged between early January and before Valentine’s Day. This time period has traditionally been a busy season for online dating as people re-merge from the holidays and get ready to find a new partner just in time for Valentine’s Day. Here are some tips on updating your profile: Make your first photo stand out. Showing off your smile, your eyes (without sunglasses), and your whole face (without a Snapchat filter) makes a positive first impression. Make sure it's only you in this first photo. It's great to include photos with your friends too, but you want your potential matches to know just who it is they'll be swiping on when they land on your profile. Add interests and badges to highlight your likes, hobbies and passions. Don’t be too serious. Dating should be fun and exciting, so let your personality show! Less is not more. Don’t leave your profile blank! This is your opportunity to show off your amazing sense of humor and let your next potential match get to know a little bit about you. Everyone loves a funny, memorable profile. Remember to keep it positive! Asking a question in your profile that a potential match can answer as their first message to you is always a good idea. Ask a trusted BFF for advice: Sometimes we can be our own worst critics, and our friends can help us see things we might miss. Ask them how they might describe you, or the things about you that stand out the most. Allow your closest confidantes to take a look at your camera roll or Instagram and help select some great photos, too. For more information, visit Bumble.com or download the app in the App Store and Google Play. About Shan Boodram: Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, dating coach and intimacy expert. Boodram is host of the top podcast, "Lovers and Friends," the best-selling author of “The Game of Desire,” resident expert on Netflix's “Too Hot to Handle,” and currently stars in Peacock’s new show “Ex-Rated with Andy Cohen". She is an ambassador for AIDS Healthcare Foundation and WomensHealth.gov, and a member of the American Sexual Health Association. About Bumble app: Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, was founded by CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble BFF) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). No matter the type of relationship, women make the first move on Bumble. Bumble is built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life. They've built their platform around kindness, respect, and equality – and their community plays an important part in that. Bumble holds its users accountable for their actions and has zero tolerance for hate, aggression, or bullying. Bumble is free and available worldwide in the App Store and Google Play.

The Customer Experience Market in 2022 Will Continue to Be Heavily Influenced by Labor Issues, Supply Chain Disruptions, and Health and Safety Concerns, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

As 2021 draws to a close, it is clear that the events and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to significantly impact the customer experience (CX) market, according to a new webinar and companion white paper produced by Dash Research. While some of the most drastic aspects of CX changes due to the pandemic were temporary measures, other practices demonstrated significant value to both the customer and provider and are likely to stay. “The most impactful trends that emerged in 2021 were both interrelated and interdependent, reflecting the interconnected worlds of digital engagement, physical fulfillment, and health and safety issues,” says principal analyst Keith Kirkpatrick. “While many of these trends began during 2020, they were often accelerated by various economic and public health conditions that arose in 2021, including labor shortages, supply chain issues, and an increased focus on digital/real-world customer journeys.” These market factors have led to an increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, with business-to-consumer (B2C) organizations in particular deploying AI-enabled chatbots and tools to handle routine tasks, freeing up workers to address more complex issues. Automated marketing and messaging took center stage as businesses leveraged technology to maximize sales, marketing, and services efficiency, and the use of technology extended to CX functions, such as customer contact centers. Similarly, business-to-business (B2B) organizations increased use of collaboration platforms and video-conferencing tools to ensure seamless business continuity, conducting sales, marketing, and other business engagements via online channels, in lieu of in-person meetings. And as the most severe impacts of the pandemic lessened in certain parts of the world, some companies initiated the use of hybrid workplaces, which saw the return of some workers to their places of business on a part-time basis, while allowing others to continue to work remotely. Dash Research’s analysis further indicates that, with the continued shift to omnichannel communications and customer-centricity, customers are seeking fully integrated CX platforms. As a result, vendors are shoring up their product portfolio through two primary methods: (1) mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, where new functionality or features are added through the acquisition of another company that already has these capabilities; and (2) via the funding market, which provides them with the capital required to build out new functionality. Dash Research’s webinar and white paper showcase fundraising and M&A activity by Kore.ai, Netomi, Terminus, Qualtrics, Zendesk, and Concentrix. Looking ahead to 2022, as some industries strive for a return to normal (e.g., travel & hospitality, retail, and healthcare), Dash Research expects to see greater investment in CX platforms and programs to support customers throughout the entire journey. Personalization will continue to be used as a differentiator, not only for B2C business, but also for B2B companies that are trying to deliver a right-sized offering for each customer. Greater visibility into supply chains may be a differentiator for some companies, particularly if bottlenecks remain. Further, improvements to CX through mobile, social, and other non-traditional channels will be front and center, as omnichannel approaches mature. Large customer relationship management (CRM) and customer data platform (CDP) vendors will continue to add new features and functions that make it easier for companies of all types to add AI and automation across all functional areas. And despite the push to incorporate technology, businesses will focus on balancing human agents and automation to build a better rapport with customers. Dash Research’s webinar, “The State of the CX Market in 2021”, along with its companion white paper of the same title, focus on the CX trends that emerged in 2021, the impact those trends had on CX implementation, and the processes and strategies that are expected to continue well into 2022. The webinar and white paper also focus on the M&A and fundraising activity that occurred in 2021, as well as providing an assessment of relative customer demand and maturity of 10 CX techniques. The white paper is available as a free download on Dash Research’s website and the webinar replay is also available. Dash Research, the market intelligence arm of Dash Network, provides in-depth research and insights on the worldwide CX market including a comprehensive assessment of technology solutions, business issues, market drivers, and end-user dynamics across industry sectors. Dash Research’s global market coverage combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a complete view of emerging business opportunities surrounding contact center technologies, customer data & analytics, customer data platforms, customer insights & feedback, customer relationship management, personalization & optimization, and employee experience.

Hi-Tech Holiday Gift Guide

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/8TiX7QwCt14 With the holiday hustle and bustle in full swing, many U.S. consumers are still struggling to find the perfect tech gifts for our loved ones. A new study from the Consumer Technology Association found that this season’s tech sales will hit $142.5 billion. Tech Expert, Dave King has a few ideas to help shoppers score this year’s hottest gadgets and gear. TECH & SELF-CARE: Tech has helped transform aspects of our daily lives, including fitness, productivity, and mindfulness. One area King is excited to talk about is oral care. The Oral-B iO Series 8 combines powerful, but gentle micro-vibrations with a unique dentist-inspired round brush head design for a professional clean feeling every day. The Smart Pressure Sensor helps to keep people from brushing too hard to protect their gums and enamel. AI Recognition, plus an interactive display, helps guide brushers to their best clean for all areas of the mouth. A 2-minute quadrant timer comes built-in that pulsates every 30 seconds, ensuring a complete clean. King adds, “The frictionless, smooth magnetic drive system transfers energy to the bristle tips for spectacular clean teeth.” The Oral-B iO Series 8 is available at oralb.com and all major retailers. For more information, visit https://oralb.com/en-us/products/electric-toothbrushes/oral-b-io-series-8-electric-toothbrush-black-onyx/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtrSLBhCLARIsACh6RmiEbq-V4oACt4hbQA_DLBSabI5mKHcPOutf6QUoarstrWysIoViKx4aAroYEA. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oralb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oralb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/OralB UP YOUR PROFESSIONAL GAME WITH TECH GEAR: All signs are pointing to remote work persisting and trending permanent for many American businesses. King says we’ve learned so much about managing hybrid and remote work over the past year-and-a-half. “At this point, it’s really time to up our professional games to look and sound our very best,” highlights King. The tech expert recommends the Poly Studio P5 kit with Sync 20, a high-performance webcam optimized for video conferencing with 1080p resolution that works with any cloud-based video platform such as Zoom and Teams – paired with the Poly Sync 20 smart speakerphone to deliver a premium audio experience. This pro-grade kit is the perfect choice for the remote or hybrid worker in your life. These tech items are available through Poly.com, Amazon, Best Buy, and other major retailers. For more information, visit https://www.poly.com/us/en/shop/holiday-promotions. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PolyCompany/ Twitter: @PolyCompany Instagram: @PolyCompany Hashtags: #PolySync #PolyStudio UPGRADE - FOCUS ON PRODUCTIVITY & EFFICIENCY: King says there are other ways tech can be used to increase work from home productivity and efficiency. One of his top recommendations is to upgrade everyday gadgets to something special. One of the tech expert’s favorite finds is the Happy Hacking Keyboard (HHKB) from Fujitsu Computer Products of America. He says it has an incredible following of loyal programmers, developers, and coders all over the world. “I like it’s compact, highly-customizable design and connectivity options,” adds King. The HHKB comes in three different models, two different colors — ivory and charcoal, and with either stamped or blank keys. One keyboard King highlights is the Professional HYBRID Type-S. “This keyboard is ideal for people working from home, programmers, and all computer pros. Its exclusive use of Topre silent switches provides supreme tactility, extra comfort and keystroke precision eliminating keyboard clacking,” King continues, “It’s also compact — 60% of the size of standard keyboards — and features Bluetooth compatibility so users can connect to smartphones, tablets and more.” The Professional HYBRID Type-S is available on Amazon.com or at HHKeyboard.us. For more information, visit https://hhkeyboard.us/. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hhkbUS/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hhkb_realforce_us/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HHKB_RF_US RESEARCH & REVIEW: A record 191 million U.S. adults plan to purchase tech items this holiday season. King says consumers can make sure they’re getting the right gift at the best price. Another one of his recommendations is to stay calm and focused. Additionally, it’s important to rely on great reviews to manage shopping expectations. King turns to the community at Slickdeals. “No one is selling anything. The service is about shoppers helping shoppers,” says the tech expert. “It’s the only shopping platform powered by millions of real people who are out there discovering, sharing, and vetting the best deals.” The site, apps, browser extension, and new loyalty program have millions of users who connect and discover the very best deals from all the top retailers, like Walmart and Amazon. King says this is important, “So you can know if you're actually getting the best product at the best price,” adding, “It’s like having 12 million friends help you understand where the best deals on the best products are happening. If you’re shopping for something specific, set a deal alert, so you’re notified when something matching your criteria gets posted.” To find reviews, go to https://slickdeals.net/.
