Por fin: lunes.

After a looooong weekend of Primavera Sound and Marula, it's nice to get back to the normal life with marketing plans and event budgets. Kind of. Or maybe not. whatever.

My recently achieved tan is fading away with every word I'm typing and I can't wait for Friday to be over so I can chill on beach again. Keeping my fingers crosses for possible upcoming internships and fantastic jobs to land in my lap.

One day in the park.

Today was a great sunny day, perfect for the park. Unfortunately it was a little bit to far for Rexi to walk from Sagrada Familia to Ciutadella, so he got to ride in my bag for a while.

Hanging out with Pachi and Rexi :)

Tomorrow playa!

Oh Catalunya!

Sometimes it's good to get out of the city for some fresh air.
And mountains. And good food. And ancient houses turned in to museums.

This was my second time to Puig-Graciós and Can Illa, La Garriga. Oh how I banned myself for leaving my camera back in Barcelona. Good thing I had my blackberry :)

Up in the mountains

seldom seen: me in sneakers

Porcelain shoes

Master? Oooooh yes master!

Linnéa.

Today is the day of my middle name: Linnéa!

It was the name of my beloved grandmother, and also of a mysterious little flower. Think it would be very pretty as a pattern on a sheer blouse, don't you think? Hard to get though, might have to paint it myself (future project)...

It grows on places like this: (illustration by John Bauer)

CRM and the happy customer.

Try to name one person that you know today that doesn't have a Facebook, Twitter or is a member of any other social community. You will find it almost impossible.

As the profile of the consumer is changing from only receiving or viewing a sales monologue, the customer of today wants to affect the market with its needs more than ever. If all of us are users of 2.0 social communities, and many of us happy to post information about ourselves over the web, wouldn't it be great for companies to be a part of that?

Well, that' actually just what's happening. The enterprise world needs to follow this new consumer profile, and get aligned with it. The subject we are touching here is Customer Relationship Management, also known as CRM. It can be divided into two parts: CRM 1.0 and CRM 2.0.

CRM 1.0 is the earlier version, primarily viewing customers as numbers, monitoring sales volume and profit in order to increase sales even more. The customer needs might be partly integrated, but there is a lack of interaction and 2 way communication between company and consumer. Even being so, it is crucial for companies to understand CRM 1.0 in order to implementate CRM 2.0.

CRM 2.0 is the later version of customer relationship management. It lets the consumers interact with information from the company, and gives the company the opportunity to analyze personal information about the consumer. Now, where does this information come from? The answer is right in front of you, on that second tab or window that you're checking up on every 5 minutes. And no, that cute guy didn't post anything on your wall yet, but there are zillions of enterprises out there just dying to get you to share that information with them.

With better information about their customers needs and interests, companies need to move focus from products to the actual value and asset of their services. With an enormous 24 h open market called internet, sophisticated consumers act fast and need something familiar to catch their attention, such as personalized and tailored messages and the possibility to give a response and later see results of impact of that response.

Middle hands like Salesforce.com helps companies to interact better with their customers and take part of consumer profiles by search engineers for twitter comments, facebook- and Linked In profiles etc. With the help of Salesforce, customer portfolios are created with links to all theses social community profiles. Furthermore, companies needs to analyze new trends within customer behavior and understand their customers as a ground pillar for the enterprise.

It would be wrong to say that it's time for the consumer to take charge of their own shopping.

Because we already did.

From one hand to another.

All the best things are vintage. Just watched "Grey Gardens" which confirmed even more what I'm always thinking: style can NOT be bought, but the best fashion is the one of a penny.

I was going trough my picture folders on the lappy and found this little collection of great purchases I made in vintage stores and markets in stockholm/barcelona/london.

I will take some more pics of other things I've found during the years...Will need another wardrobe ASAP since my bf isn't very found of our flat turning into a second hand store stockroom.
