    Costco sets Westgate opening date

    American wholesale retailer Costco will open its $100 million Westgate store on September 28, ending months of speculation about the date of its debut in New Zealand.

    The retailer initially planned to open last month, however it was delayed due to bad weather and Covid-related restrictions.

    The new store spans 1.4ha and will feature a petrol station, tyre centre, optometrist and food court as well as a wide range of food and grocery products.

    The retailer will hire about 350 workers and has brought in 30 to 40 staff from Australia to train locals.

    In April, the retailer opened its first petrol station in Auckland selling fuel at around 20 cents a litre, cheaper than nearby service locations.

  • Hanoi police seize 100 rice wine jars containing wild animals

    Hanoi police seize 100 rice wine jars containing wild animals

    More than 100 jars of rice wine distilled with pythons, large lizards, cobras and deer have been found at two condo apartments in Hanoi.

    The wine had been put up for sale at the two apartments in La Khe Ward of Hanoi’s Ha Dong District.

    The owners of the wine could not provide legal papers proving the origins of the product.

    One of them, Vu Quang Hien, said “these are just craft products and this whole thing shouldn’t be treated too seriously.”

    Hien sells the wine for VND350,000 ($15) to more than VND3 million per jar.

    The other owner, Dao Quang Manh, said the distributors told him the animals had been bred by them and that the products aim at treating several health issues, including joint and muscle pains.

    “Distributors also told me that the products are legal, and I just buy them for retail. I do not know for sure if I have permission to sell them.”

    Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thanh Trung from Hanoi’s environment police division said it would have to work with the city’s Market Management Department and ranger authorities on this case as there are many wild animals that have been killed for rice wine production.

  • The changing face of Australian grocery shoppers

    The changing face of Australian grocery shoppers

    The latest Focus Insights 2022 Grocery Shopper Report again highlights the need for suppliers and retailers alike to be mindful of changes in shopper behaviours and to focus on regularly reviewing these changes as a means of assessing where both innovation and product and promotional offers align with shopper trends and expectations.

    From a macro level, we see that the earlier trends in changes in shopper behaviour continue post the Covid period, and are in line with pre-Covid trends. From a top-line perspective, there has been a move back to the supermarket for fresh items, after increased support levels for independent operators such as butchers and greengrocers at the height of the pandemic.

    A key outtake from the table above highlights these continued trends and the need for focus of retailers to allocate the appropriate space, innovation, offers, freshness management and excitement to keep their shopper’s interest in these important categories and allow for a more complete shopper basket profile from these categories and centre of the store.

    From a supplier perspective, it also means focusing at a channel level to ensure the appropriate tailored solutions to enhance their role in each channel, allowing them to maximise their revenue and margins. In simple terms, suppliers need to focus on the key elements of ‘what is their role in the category’ and ‘what do they want to be famous for’ and activate those plans that deliver and enhance that profile.

    The Focus Insights 2022 Grocery Shopper Report also highlights trends among fruit and vegetable shoppers: this profile is important for both retailers and suppliers alike on how they maximise these changes in behaviour to innovate new product offerings that meet shopper expectations. There has been a move back towards more loose/single items after the increased demand for pre-packaged fruit and vegetables during the peak of the pandemic where more consumers demanded pre-packaging as a “protection” against other people touching/handling the product. There has also been a noticeable shift toward packaged/prepared meal size portions which supports the ongoing shopper trends for more meal kits and meal solutions.

    The current trend of plant-based purchasing by shoppers also continues with 39 per cent of Australian shoppers having purchased a plant-based meal product, up from 27 per cent last year. While this category continues to experience strong growth and interest, price (it is perceived as too expensive) is still the number one reason why people are not continuing to buy (or try) plant-based meat alternatives.

    With the constantly changing supermarket environment, it is imperative, that retailers and suppliers keep abreast of shopper behaviours and preferences and be open and agile in responding to the evolving and ever-changing behaviour of Australian grocery shoppers.

  • Major firms spend big on pig farming

    Major firms spend big on pig farming

    Many big companies have been investing trillions of dong (VND1 trillion= $41.67 million) in raising pigs, with the Vietnamese pork market estimated at $15 billion.

    According to a recent financial report by Thaiholdings Joint Stock Company, through its subsidiary Thaigroup, it has joined hands with third parties to invest VND600 billion in a pig raising project in the central province of Thanh Hoa. Thaiholdings stands to receive 60% of total profits.

    Earlier, many domestic giants had poured up to trillions of dong into pig farming, including Hoang Anh Gia Lai Joint Stock Company, Hoa Phat Group Joint Stock Company, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Agricultural Joint Stock Company and Truong Hai Group Joint Stock Company.

    Foreign-invested firms, including Thai-invested C.P Vietnam Corporation, South Korea-invested CJ Vina Agri Company and Australia-invested Mavin Group Joint Stock Company, have also invested in the market.

    International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, has so far this year poured a total VND2.8 trillion into three pig-raising firms, namely Mavin, BaF Vietnam Agriculture Joint Stock Company and GreenFeed Vietnam Corporation. GreenFeed said it wants to sell over 125,000 tons of pork to 385,000 consumers every year, while Mavin plans to annually supply the market with 900,000 tons of pork.

    Pig farming has become an attractive business as pork is the main source of animal protein in Vietnamese meals, accounting for about two-thirds of total meat consumption. According to a recent report by U.S. financial information services provider Fitch Solutions, the total meat consumption in Vietnam is forecasted to grow over 25% in the 2018-2026 period.

    Vietnam will be one of the countries with the strongest meat consumption growth globally in the coming years, Fitch Solutions said, noting that there are no cultural barriers to eating meat.

    By 2026, on average, each Vietnamese person will annually consume more than 51 kilograms of meat, including 31 kilograms of pork, more than 16 kilograms of chicken and over four kilograms of beef, up 9% against the consumption forecasted for this year.

    Meanwhile, global meat consumption would average 34.6 kilograms in 2026, an increase of less than 0.5 kilograms in 10 years, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

    Along with the increase in market demand, the report by Fitch Solutions showed a strong trend of industrialization in pig farming. After the spread of African swine fever in 2019, small farming households have been exiting the industry because of expensive investments and fluctuating prices.

    Fitch Solutions said strong businesses would benefit from the potential recovery of pork prices in the future.

    In the first half of this year, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Agricultural Joint Stock Company sold more than 82,000 pigs and made a profit of more than VND530 billion, the highest semi-annual profit since 2018. It expected to achieve the profit target of VND1.12 trillion this year.

    Hoa Phat Group said the agricultural sector brought in after-tax profits of nearly VND720 billion last year.

    However, Fitch Solution believed that the Vietnamese pig industry would face challenges in the longer run as people gradually eat less pork. In the 2022-2026 period, consumption of chicken and beef will grow almost equally at more than 13%, but that of pork less than half the rate. There will be more room for the chicken market to grow because of its affordable price.

    Grasping the above trend, many firms also began to invest in poultry production. Since the fourth quarter of 2020, Masan MEATLife has acquired the 3F Viet brand and applied technology in the field of chilled meat to chicken products. Regarding this segment, it achieved revenue of nearly VND1.5 trillion in 2021, up nearly 58% against 2020. The company will further invest in the market whose value is expected to be worth $5 billion in future.

    Recently, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Agricultural Joint Stock Company raised 100,000 free-range chickens on a trial basis. The chickens are expected to be sold on the market in November. Meanwhile, Mavin Group proposed building a complex worth VND600 billion in the northern province of Son La to breed chickens and ducks and process the meat for export.

    The Vietnamese pig market is estimated at some $15 billion, according to the 2021 annual report by local meat processing company Masan MEATLife under Masan Group.

  • Meta brings Community Chats to Messenger and Facebook Groups

    Meta brings Community Chats to Messenger and Facebook Groups

    Meta has just announced it will launch a new feature in Facebook and Messenger, which will allow users to start group chats directly in these apps. Called Community Chats, the new feature will first be tested in Messenger and will expand to more Facebook Groups in the coming weeks.

    The ability to start Community Chats in Messenger should allows users to create a Facebook Group, start chats and audio channels, as well as invite other people to join their group all within the app. The new experience is a mix between Messenger and Facebook Groups, but it doesn’t seem to replace either, at least for the time being.

    There will be multiple options to start a chat for group members, like a specific topic, an event chat, a view-only broadcast chat for announcements, or admin-only chat that will keep the discussions between admins and moderators private.

    In addition, admins will be able to create audio channels to allow group members to share live commentary or receive real-time support. Members of a chat group will also have the option to enable video once they’re in the audio channel.

    According to Meta, the new Community Chats feature will be released alongside a solid suite of tools meant to help admins manage both chat and audio experiences much easier. Among these tools, Meta confirmed the suite will include moderation capabilities such as blocking, muting or suspending group members, and removing members or messages, as well as Admin Assist.

    Admin Assist seems to be one of more useful tools since it allows admins to set custom filters to automatically suspend users, remove reported messages, and stop message from ineligible authors or containing violating content from being send.

    Finally, all members of Community Chats will be able to report messages to group admins or directly to Meta, block users, as well as leave a chat at any time. As mentioned earlier, Community Chats are now being tested in Messenger, but they will be rolled out to Facebook Groups in the coming weeks too.

    Pop Mart’s exclusive products are available at the store, which is located on the first floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A11. At the entrance, there are large-scale dolls, and the store is decorated with a colorful theme, metallic materials, and LED lights that run throughout the store concept.

    Pop Mart opened its first flagship store in Australia last month, after expanding its presence in Korea, New Zealand and the US.

    Pop Mart’s Mainland China retail network includes more than 1000 vending machines, or “roboshops,” and 340 physical stores. The brand approaches its audience via its own international website and online collaborations with Amazon, Shopee, and AliExpress.

    The toy retailer is in developing multiple new markets concurrently, including in Southeast Asia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand.

  • Aeon launches clothing line to compete with fast fashion in Vietnam

    Aeon launches clothing line to compete with fast fashion in Vietnam

    Japanese retailer Aeon launched a new label in Vietnam, focusing on cheap everyday clothing, as an answer to brands like H&M or Uniqlo.

    The new lineup, called My Closet, features around 400 items that cost 50%-75% that of its competitors, targeting 16- to 24-year old women, a group of consumers that is growing fast in terms of population and spending.

    Its T-shirt, for example, costs around VND150,000 ($6). That of other Western or Japanese brands is usually priced at VND200,000-300,000.

    “We aim to make it Aeon’s first fast-fashion” foray, Aeon Vietnam General Director Yasuyuki Furusawa told Nikkei Asia.

    Vietnam is becoming Aeon’s “most important market” as it tries to expand beyond Japan, with the local capacity of handling clothing production thanks to a cheap and abundant labor force, which can minimize risk of supply disruption and bring costs down.

    It is also considering selling those items on Vietnamese e-commerce sites as well as in neighboring countries, Nikkei reported.

    Aeon entered Vietnam in 2014, and has opened around 200 stores in the country, including supermarkets and six malls.

    Its rivals, Uniqlo and H&M, entered the market in 2019 and 2017, respectively. They have less locations than Aeon, but are growing fast thanks to the rising middle class that have more money and are eager to shop.

    Vietnam has a population of nearly 100 million — behind only Indonesia and the Philippines in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations — with a young average age of 33. Its economy grew at over 7% a year before the pandemic, and has been bouncing back as coronavirus curbs are removed.

  • How to Get Started with Litecoin Trading

    How to Get Started with Litecoin Trading

    Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has been around since 2011. It is similar to Bitcoin in many ways, but it has a faster transaction speed and a different mining algorithm. Litecoin is often called the “silver to Bitcoin’s gold.”

    If you’re interested in trading Litecoin, here’s what you need to know.

    The first step is to find a reputable exchange that trades Litecoin. Some of the most popular exchanges include Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken.

    Once you’ve found an exchange, you’ll need to set up an account and deposit some funds. Once your account is funded, you can start buying and selling Litecoin.

    Litecoin trading is relatively simple. You can buy Litecoin at the current market price or place a limit order to buy or sell at a specific price. You can also place stop-loss orders to limit your losses if the price of Litecoin falls.

    How do I start trading with Litecoin?

    Before you start trading with Litecoin, you need to set up a Litecoin wallet. You can do this by downloading the official Litecoin wallet from the Litecoin website. Once you have installed the wallet, you will need to generate a new address. To do this, click on the “Receive” tab and then click on “New Address”. Enter a label for your new address and then click on “Generate Address”. This will generate a new Litecoin address that you can use to receive payments.

    Once you have generated a new address, you can start trading Litecoins. To do this, you will need to find a reputable exchange that supports Litecoins. Once you have found an exchange, you will need to create an account and deposit some funds into it. Once your account is funded, you can start buying and selling Litecoins.

    What are the most popular Litecoin trading platforms?

    There are a few different Litecoin trading platforms that are popular among investors. Some of the most popular ones include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.

    Each of these platforms offers different features and benefits, so it’s important to choose the one that best suits your needs. For example, Binance is one of the most popular Litecoin trading platforms because it offers a wide variety of coins to trade, low fees, and a user-friendly interface.

    Coinbase is another popular option because it’s one of the most user-friendly exchanges available. It also offers a great mobile app, making it easy to trade on the go.

    Kraken is another excellent choice for investors who are looking for a platform with low fees and a wide selection of coins.

    Common mistakes made when Litecoin trading

    There are a few common mistakes that people make when they are trading Litecoin. One of the most common mistakes is not diversifying your portfolio. When you invest in Litecoin, you should also invest in other cryptocurrencies as well as traditional assets such as stocks and bonds. This will help to protect you from the volatility of the cryptocurrency market and ensure that you have a well-rounded investment portfolio.

    Another mistake that people make is not doing their research before investing. It is important to understand how Litecoin works and the factors that can affect its price before you invest any money. If you do not have a solid understanding of these things, you could end up losing a lot of money.

    Finally, another mistake that people make is trading without a plan. You should always have a clear idea of what your goals are before you begin trading. Otherwise, it will be very easy to make impulsive decisions that could end up costing you a lot of money.

    If you’re interested in Litecoin trading, the first step is to find a reputable exchange that offers Litecoin trades.

  • Investing in Gaming Niche in Poland

    Investing in Gaming Niche in Poland

    The gaming market is extremely diverse and to be successful, it should engage not only first-class experts but avid players and governmental systems as well. In this regard, Poland is fertile land. First of all, it has almost 450 development companies that create all types of games: from small mobile apps to AAA blockbusters. 96% of these games are exported abroad. 

    More than 15 million Polish people gamble, so there is always a demanding sales market waiting for local games. In addition, the educational system in Poland pays much attention to mathematics and exact sciences which leads to a huge interest in programming and a big number of skilled developers. According to the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, the local video game market is worth 470 million euros and the number is constantly increasing. This makes เว็บพนันออนไลน์ถูกกฎหมาย and video games a great niche for investments if you consider the Polish market. More information is below.

    CD Projekt Red: the industry leader

    If you think about Polish gaming developers, CD Projekt Red will surely come to your mind. It is well known not only in Poland but in other parts of the world as well. The company is based in Warsaw and is considered the most valuable game developer with an $8.12 billion market capitalization. Just think of it: over the past decade, it has reached a 21,000% return on investment. 

    It was CD Projekt Red that gave way to other companies developing RPG games. This studio stands behind the famous The Witcher series and its spin-off. This game is based on an extremely popular fantasy novel by Andrzej Sapkowski who was born in Poland as well. The first game was introduced in 2007 and the number of sold copies has reached 40 million. 

    Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, one of the lead designers at the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt made his way to the Forbes 30 under 30 as one of the most talented and skilled professionals in the industry. In total, CD Projekt Red employs over 500 experts.

    eSports Development in Poland

    Those who are considering the Polish gaming market should pay attention to another segment that is gaining popularity at a break-neck speed. We are talking about e-sports. These are organized competitions between professional players. Fans and viewers can watch the gameplay in real-time, make bets, and become active participants in the process no matter where they are. Some e-sports players even earn millions of dollars each year and make this hobby their full-time occupation.

    Most Polish e-sports players and fans are around 20-30 years old and one of five has higher education. YouTube remains the most popular platform for watching streams although Twitch is stepping on its toes. Due to the dedicated and close-knit character of the e-sports market, it has a big potential and should be considered not only by investors but by marketers and individual companies as well. They can order commercials which will gather millions of views in a matter of seconds!

    In 2020, Opinia and ARC Rynek have conducted a survey to find out which brands e-sports viewers remembered the most. And the results were quite obvious – Red Bull and Intel. So why not make your company the next title on the list?

    How a typical Polish gambler looks like 

    As you see, Poland is a great place for gaming investments. And not only because it is home to multiple renowned companies. A crucial reason is that locals love gaming – every second Polish citizen games from time to time. The overall number of gamers has steadily increased since 2017. There has also been a shift in the profile of a typical Polish player. Now, it is usually a gender-balanced person in their 20s and 30s. They play to reduce stress, relax, and socialize, and choose personal computers over smartphones and tablets. But still, there is a big percentage of players who pick free and simple games on the App Store and Play Market. Especially to kill time when they are driving to work or university.

    Virtual and augmented reality, as well as wearables, are still not very popular in Poland, so investing in this segment might not be the best idea. The majority of gamers play logic games and racing on consoles like Play Station and Xbox. Polish players most often choose League of Legends, FIFA, and Counter-Strike, so they don’t differ from gamers across the world.

    Wrap-up

    In the past few years, Poland has become one of the central hubs of the gaming industry. Such companies like CD Projekt Red which created the Witcher motivated tens of independent developers to start their own studios. Unfortunately, many of them didn’t get the attention they hoped for but market predictions are rather positive. We have no doubts that Poland has a bright future in the gaming niche.

     

  • Want to Learn How to Get Around the Lion City Like a Local? Here’s How

    Want to Learn How to Get Around the Lion City Like a Local? Here’s How

    If you’re a tourist in Singapore and you want to explore the Lion City like a local would, you’ll be glad to know that you can do just that from the moment of your arrival. This is because the city-state has a modern, well-designed, and highly-efficient transportation system that makes use of buses, trains, and cars. Using these transportation options, one can explore the Lion City’s many modern and natural attractions without breaking a sweat.

    Once you drop off your luggage at your hotel, feel free to explore the city like it’s a second home to you. Whether you’re planning to visit the city’s historical sites, try delectable meals at hawker centres or Changi Airport restaurants, or go on a shopping spree in one of the local markets, here’s how you can get around Singapore like the locals do:

    Know the Traffic Rules and Follow Them

    Part of the reason why many aspects of everyday life in Singapore run like a well-oiled machine is that most of the locals follow the country’s many rules. This goes for their traffic rules, too. Given this, it would do you well if you get to know these rules yourself, especially if you’re planning to drive during your stay. Doing so will ensure not only your safety and comfort, but also that of the people with whom you share the road.

    If you’re sticking to using public transportation or touring the city on foot, you’ll be happy to know that the city is very walkable and its roads are bicycle-friendly. Still, there are a few things you need to remember so you can do as the Singaporeans do and avoid steep fines. For example, you should make use of pedestrian crossings and footpaths as much as possible, and always stay on the sidewalk instead of walking along the road itself.

    Purchase and Top Up Your EZ-Link Card

    Are you stressed out about the idea of handling a lot of loose change and bills while commuting? Don’t worry, because it’s fairly easy to go cashless in Singapore—even for commuters.

    You can do this by purchasing an EZ-Link card, which can be used in public buses, the MRT, the LRT, and even taxis. This contactless card can be purchased from and reloaded at a lot of convenience stores across the country, and there are also machines that can dispense and top it up at bus interchanges and train stations. There are even passes that you can use as many times as you want within a given number of hours or days, which can be a practical option if you want to see as much of the country as you can during a short stay.

    Remember the Bus or Train Schedule

    The public transportation system in the country is quite reliable. Because of this punctuality, you can expect that the next bus or train will arrive at and depart from their respective stations as scheduled. This can be especially useful if you have a strict schedule that you want to follow. You can even plan your stay down to the minute, if you wanted to.

    Of course, there are still times when the bus or train will arrive earlier or later than expected. Should this happen to you, you might want to download the Land Transportation Authority’s My Transport app on your phone. This application will help you keep track of bus and train schedules and serve as a helpful tool for planning your itinerary for the day.

    Minimize Noise in Public Transportation

    It’s a sign of courtesy to your fellow commuters if you make an effort to stay quiet during bus and train rides or in public spaces like parks and train stations. So, if you like to listen to music or watch videos on your phone when commuting, it’s best to bring earphones or headphones with you so you can do so without causing a ruckus. If you must talk to a companion, speak softly and only when necessary so that you don’t disturb other passengers.

    Carry an Umbrella When Heading Out

    Because Singapore has a tropical climate, it tends to be quite humid all year. There are also times when the weather can get hot or rainy. It’s a good idea, then, to carry an umbrella around with you when you travel on foot. That said, some locals opt not to bring an umbrella anymore since a lot of places now have covered walkways. Still, it’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially as a tourist who may be unfamiliar with the area.

     

    Follow these tips and you’ll be travelling like a Singapore local in no time. And if you ever feel unsure about the situation you’re in or if you don’t know how to use a certain aspect of the public transportation system, feel free to ask the people around you for help. You’ll find plenty of citizens and residents who are more than willing to help you make the most of your journey in the Lion City.

  • New Shipping Methods That Are Changing the Way We Do Business

    New Shipping Methods That Are Changing the Way We Do Business

    As the world of e-commerce and online shopping continues to grow, so do the shipping options. Where once there were only a few methods to choose from, now there are many different types of shipping that cater to different needs. Here is a look at some of the new shipping methods that are changing the way we do business.

    One of the newest and most popular shipping methods is drones. Drones can deliver packages quickly and directly to customers without a traditional delivery driver. It can be beneficial for businesses that sell small items such as clothes or cosmetics and for companies that operate in rural areas where it can be challenging to find delivery drivers.

    Same-day delivery is available in major metropolitan areas across the country, and its popularity is growing. But international shipping takes time, as always, if you have to move your luggage from one country to another, e.g., the USA to India. You still need professional international movers from the USA to India.

    The traditional method of shipping is slow and expensive

    There is no doubt that conventional shipping methods are slow and costly. It has led to many businesses searching for new shipping methods that can save them time and money. The following paragraphs will discuss some of the new shipping methods that are changing the way we do business.

    One of the new shipping methods is called cross-docking. This method involves loading products onto a truck at one location and then unloading them at another location. It eliminates the need to transport the products to a central location before they are shipped. It can save a lot of time and money for businesses.

    Another new shipping method is called direct store delivery (DSD). It is where products are delivered directly to stores instead of being shipped to a central location first. It can also save time and money for businesses as it reduces handling and transportation costs.

    Faster and cheaper shipping methods for both domestic and international shipments

    The way we ship goods has changed dramatically in the last few decades. New techniques and technologies have made it faster and cheaper to ship goods than ever before. It has revolutionized how businesses operate and has enormously impacted the global economy.

    One of the most significant changes has been the introduction of containerization. It is a system where goods are shipped in standardized containers that can be easily loaded and unloaded. It has dramatically speeded up the shipping process and reduced costs.

    Another major change has been the development of express shipping services like FedEx and UPS. These companies offer fast, reliable shipping at reasonable prices. It has enabled businesses to get their products to customers quickly, regardless of distance.

    Finally, the rise of e-commerce has had a considerable impact on shipping.

    Benefits of new shipping methods: speed and efficiency

    In an ever-changing and fast-paced world, businesses are always looking for ways to increase speed and efficiency. New shipping methods have arisen that are changing the way we do business. The following are some of the benefits of these new shipping methods:

    • They allow for faster delivery times. It is because they use new technology to track shipments and optimize routes. As a result, customers can receive their orders more quickly and without any delays.
    • They are more cost effective than traditional shipping methods. It is because they use less fuel and fewer resources overall. In addition, they often offer discounts for bulk orders or items that are shipped frequently.
    • They are more environmentally friendly than older shipping methods. It is because they produce less pollution and waste.

    New shipping methods: a growing market

    As the e-commerce industry continues to grow, so do the shipping methods used to fulfill orders. What used to be a one-size-fits-all approach is now being replaced by more customized, faster, and cheaper shipping options. Here are some of the new shipping methods that are changing the way we do business:

    Dropshipping: Dropshipping is a type of e-commerce where businesses don’t keep any inventory on hand. Instead, when a customer places an order, the business contacts a supplier, who then ships the product directly to the customer. It allows businesses to sell products without worrying about inventory or fulfillment.

    Subscription boxes: Subscription boxes are becoming increasingly popular, especially among millennials. These boxes are filled with curated items that are sent to customers regularly (usually monthly).

    Conclusion:

    New shipping methods are changing the way we do business. They are faster, more efficient, and allow us to ship items to our customers more timely. This new way of doing business is revolutionizing the shipping industry and making it more competitive.

    Best 5 ways to manage emotions when gambling

    Every punter agrees gambling is a game of emotions. This is especially in games as unpredictable as in the Premier League.

    Yes, Premier League predictions help, but we all know you can never be too sure until the referee blows the final whistle.

    As exciting as this rush of emotions (gamblers feel) is, it can be really destructive to their decision-making, forcing them to make irrational stakes.

    We can’t deny that controlling your feelings while gambling is more challenging. That is why we put in the work to curate some expert tips to manage your emotions and make logical decisions while in the heat of things.

    This article will educate you on some of the best ways to manage your feelings during gambling.

    Whether it’s identifying what you’re feeling, rational thinking, or switching things up at the last moment when things are getting out of hand, these psychological hacks will help you better manage your emotions when gambling.

    Here we go!

    1. Identify what You’re Feeling

    One of the most crucial reasons gamblers make emotional mistakes while gambling is the failure to identify their emotions before making decisions.

    It’s imperative to know and admit if you’re angry, sad, excited, disappointed, or frustrated, as it will help you make more informed decisions.

    The best gamblers understand that gambling is a rollercoaster of emotions, and it’s normal to feel sad depending on the circumstances. Identifying your feelings will help you think deeper about the situation at hand and if it can be changed or not.

    2. Think Rationally

    There’s no invincibility in gambling, and you’ll lose whether you like it or you don’t. Approach issues from different viewpoints, and you might discover magical ways to solve them.

    Rational thinking will make you start seeing losing as a mandatory step you have to take to win in the future.

    A proven hack that helps you to navigate the stormy waters of gambling emotions better is to place smaller bets if you’re feeling too scared to stake high amounts. Instead of wagering $50, cut it down to $5. This trick will help you play confidently and make gambling more enjoyable.

    3. Cope healthily With your Emotions

    Coping with your emotions becomes necessary when you can’t control them. If you get overly angry over a loss, consider taking a short walk or employing other proven psychological hacks to help you deal with it.

    It’s essential to have a positive attitude anytime you’re gambling. Say positive words to yourself even if you lose; it might be difficult, but try. When you have consecutive losing streaks, it’s healthy to abandon that session, reshape, refocus, and you’ll be able to hit full gear when you return.

    Additionally, worrying about an unchangeable situation will only make you sadder and lead to more destructive decisions. You should also know when to be happy and excited; sometimes, over-excitement after a win might be dangerous.

    4. Accept the Outcome

    In gambling, you either win or lose. If you lose, it’s essential to accept the outcome, as even the best gamblers lose games too.

    However, they cope healthily with losing and brace themselves up for the next session.

    When you win, accept the outcome and remember that it doesn’t last forever. Also, don’t make the excitement of winning trick you into believing you’re the best in the building, thereby taking more risks than usual.

    Learn to accept the outcomes of your bets expertly, and you’ll find out that you’ll control your emotions better and get more enjoyment from gambling.

    5. Switch Things Up!

    If your emotions are becoming uncontrollable in the casino, all you need might be a change of scenery to break it off and hit full gear.

    So if you’re getting frustrated at Roulette, consider switching to poker, Keno, or anything that works for you! Just change the scenery, and you’ll be able to manage your emotions better.

    When you change the scenery in a Casino, it’s imperative to do away with the negative feelings of your previous games, as a positive and happy mind is one of the secrets to winning big.

    When next you feel unlucky or think a dealer is swindling you, consider switching games, and you’ll be unbeatable.

    Conclusion

    Experience is another major factor that allows you to manage your emotions expertly in gambling. The more you play, the better you get accustomed to dealing with winning and losing and the feelings behind it.

    Gambling should be fun and entertaining. Allowing your emotions to get in the way will only mess up the fun. If you’re finding it difficult to manage your emotions, using the steps in this article when next you hit a casino or gamble online will help.

  • Vietnamese currency falls to new low against dollar

    Vietnamese currency falls to new low against dollar

    Vietnam has set its reference rate for the Vietnamese dong at a record low as the greenback strengthens globally amid economic uncertainty.

    The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) on Thursday set the reference rate for the Vietnamese dong at VND23,281, the weakest since at least 2005, according to data compiled.

    At commercial banks, the Vietnamese dong is now at its lowest since March 2020 after having declined by around 3.5% in the year-to-date.

    Vietcombank, the country’s largest lender, had sold the U.S. dollar for VND23,740. Top private player Techcombank’s rates were VND23,708, while that of Sacombank were VND23,950.

    But an expert forecasts the Vietnamese dong to decline further to VND24,000 a U.S. dollar.

    “The dong is too strong at the moment for an export-oriented economy,” Trinh Nguyen, a senior economist at Natixis SA in Hong Kong, told Bloomberg.

    “That said, they care about imports and inflation so won’t allow excessive depreciation.”

    The SBV allows the Vietnamese dong to trade within a band of 3% on either side of the reference rate, which is based on eight currencies and set daily.
