News release or Paid Advertising, Which One Is More Effective?

Hong Kong – As a marketing guru, users have a few options for attracting new business, including paid advertising and editorial story placement within the media. They can both be paid (for instance, if users use the services of a PR distribution company), so which one is more cost effective? The two options serve two completely different purposes, so let SEAPRWire‘s expert delve a little further into each option. If users are using the paid advertising option, does that include pop-up style ads? Perhaps users are using an agency and users may not know the answer to this question. What users may want to consider, if users are not already aware, is how people feel about ads and how effective they are compared to other marketing techniques, such as using SEAPRWire for press release. Consumers and those marketing for business to businesses continue to become more sophisticated and wary of ads and information found online, affecting trust levels. For instance, if users were looking for a lawyer online, would users trust a lawyer who was referred to users by a friend (word of mouth) or would users trust a pop-up ad? Now let’s say that their friend originally found this lawyer through a n...

JCB and Keychain Implement Offline Payments using NFC

TOKYO, Dec 15, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - JCB Co., Ltd. Japan's only international payment brand (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan) and Keychain GK (Head Office: Singapore) implement offline payments using near-field communication (NFC), self-sovereign identity, and blockchain technology.Figure 1. Offline Payment ConceptWith the spread of 5G and the development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, machine-to-machine payments will automatically execute contracts and make payments without human intervention, and possibly without network connectivity.JCB and Keychain have developed the first payment infrastructure for machine-to-machine transactions that supports offline payments using NFC. Leveraging Keychain's blockchain and self-sovereign identity technology, the system addresses challenges related to the risks of operating through network outages and distributed attacks.OverviewThe new infrastructure allows payments to be conditionally accepted by merchants, even in the event that both the payer and the merchant are disconnected from the network, a scenario known as double offline. Notably, the shoppers' experience is as easy as swiping a smart watch at the store payment t...

Universities and DENSO Develop Biosensor to Detect SARS-CoV-2 and Accelerate Development for Practical Application

TOKYO, Oct 21, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Tokai University, Toyohashi University of Technology, Chubu University, and DENSO Corporation have been developing testing equipment to detect SARS-CoV-2 with support from the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED)(1). Universities and DENSO announced today that the group has succeeded in developing a biosensor based on a new mechanism and detecting SARS-CoV-2. The group will accelerate the development toward practical application to contribute to early diagnosis of infectious diseases, which is a key factor in limiting virus' spread. To prevent the medical system from being overwhelmed due to viral infectious diseases, it is essential to prevent the spread of viruses by early diagnosis and isolation. At present, PCR tests(2) and antigen tests(3) are used for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. However, these tests cannot evaluate "virus infectivity," which indicates the power of the detected virus to infect. PCR tests are characterized by its high virus detection sensitivity, but effort of sample pretreatment process imposes a high workload on medical professionals. Meanwhile, antigen tests are simple, but the det...
