There are plenty more interesting nuggests of information that you probably didn’t know about Nokia – take a look at the 10 interesting facts you didn’t know about Nokia that we’ve pulled together below!
1. The name Nokia comes from the river ‘Nokianvirta’ which flows through the town ‘Nokia’ in the region of Pirkanmaa.
2. Before focusing on telecommunications products, Nokia produced tyres, rubber boots and televisions, amongst others products!
3. The Nokia theme tune was originally composed by Francisco Tarrega, an influential Spanish composer and guitarist of the Romantic period.

Marketing is the life-blood of your business; it is what sustains all businesses today, small and corporate alike. Marketing is the combination of strategies you apply in your small business to get new customers, to maintain customer loyalty and to increase your business profitability. If you want to grow your business, here are five small business marketing strategies you should put into practice right away:
1. Personalize whenever possible
Your customers will feel more valued when you send out relevant, personalized communications. And if you can take the time to hand write a few of your correspondence, you will definitely stand out from the crowd. What kinds of things can you personalize? You can send out post cards with hand written short messages to your loyal customers. A hand written thank you card is sure to go a long way. Or how about a quick "I'm thinking of you" note card? And if you don't have time to hand write very often, at least make sure the messages you send are pertinent to the client you're sending them to.

2. Use creativity to get your name out there
Chances are, you have limited dollars for promotional items and advertisements in your small business marketing budget. Instead of expensive, full-color, high gloss brochures and flyers, why not consider a black and white newsletter that you can distribute more often. You'll get a better bang for your buck by utilize an inexpensive strategy that you can repeat more often over an outlandish marketing strategy that you can only do once.

Why not consider email marketing, blogging, classified ads, and email autoresponders that are all less expensive than more traditional advertising so they can be repeated more often. Just be sure not to bite off more than you can chew all at one time. There's no need to take on every single new marketing strategy all at once. Work one into your schedule, and when you get the hang of that one, add another marketing strategy into your schedule.
3. Create Urgent Offers
Most small businesses don't have lots of time to sit around and wait for prospects to decide to make a purchase. You want your prospects to buy and to buy now. Build a sense of urgency into every promotional offer you make. Use deadlines, time sensitive bonus offers, limited supply items, etc. to incentivize your prospects to make their purchases sooner rather than later.

4. Use the Phone
I'm not quite sure why, but many of the small business owners that I consult with are afraid of the phone. Since so few entrepreneurs actually use the phone, placing a few calls here and there will definitely have you standing out from the crowd. One way to get over your fear of the phone is to have a mini-script already prepared. Know what you're going to say ahead of time, and then practice it. Jot down a few notes on index cards - you don't want to read your phone call word for word from a script. Make your first calls as introductory calls; they're much easier to handle than traditional sales calls. And if you're really super nervous about using the phone, try your mini-script out on a few friends or clients with whom you've already built up a great rapport.

5. Use Buddy Ads
You can collaborate with other businesses to exchange advertisements. You advertise in their place of business or on their website or in their newsletter, and vice versa. This small business marketing strategy works best when you collaborate with businesses that attract the same audience as yours but are not direct competitors of yours. If you're a veterinarian, you can do buddy ads with a dog groomer. If you own a furniture you can do buddy ads with a realtor.

No single marketing strategy is ever effective to all small business. You will have to change your strategies from time to time or to use a combination of the strategies to maximize results. Your overall goal is to keep your business presence known to as many prospects as possible. By combining these extremely effective small business marketing strategies, you'll be well on your way to growing your business an increasing your bottom line.
It's never been harder to keep up with the latest web trends - with the expansion onto mobile platforms, the growth of social media and the need for start ups to be aware of new SEO techniques. Constructing a mobile website, creating social media campaigns and selling online are just some of the challenges businesses will face during 2010.
Here are top online trends for the next 12 months.
Mobile web
Every web-savvy business knows smartphone use is on the rise. But few are actively developing for mobiles by creating websites specifically used for handheld devices.
As more and more mobile users flock to gadgets with larger touchscreens and internet browsers, such as the iPhone or Google Nexus One, the mobile space will become bigger and SMEs need to get on board. If your website isn't accessible through a smartphone or app, users will give up and go somewhere else - losing you traffic and potential sales.
Search Engine Optimisation
Using search engine algorithms in order to get your site on "page one" has been a tactic used by online businesses for years. But SEO experts say the process of getting a website known will become even harder in 2010 with the rise of personalised and real-time search.
Social network Twitter sparked a trend when it designed the first popular real-time search engine. When users search for a term, the site would update that search with new "tweets" as they were being made.
Google has recently introduced a real-time search function of its own, complete with indexed tweets, while Microsoft Bing has made a deal to show tweets in search results. B
Social Media
Facebook and Twitter were the standout social networks from 2009, and their popularity will surge in 2010 with both introducing new features, including paid accounts for business.
But businesses need to pay attention to the trends on these sites. Creating a social media strategy is no longer optional, it is vital to the health of a company and its ability to tap into an online user-base.
Some experts say if you aren't engaging online, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to gain new customers and fans who will effectively market for you if given enough reason. 2010 will be the year in which businesses must jump on social media or risk being left behind by the competition.
Online retail
More and more Australian businesses are selling online, but compared to the US they have a lot of catching up to do. Online spending has grown from 1% to 3% of overall spending over the last 10 years, compared to the American equivalent of 7%.
Advertising
The internet advertising industry continued to grow in 2009 and will do the same in 2010, but the next 12 months is expected to see the ongoing development of mobile advertising.
Last year the Interactive Advertising Bureau forecast the online ad market to pass $2 billion by next month, representing a 27% increase from 2008. While the downturn forced spending down in 2009, it's safe to assume that figure will rise in 2010.
The mobile advertising scene is fairly new, so naturally few SMEs are actually investing in the sector. But Apple's recent acquisitions of Quattro, along with Google's purchase of AdMob, shows the big players are serious about the mobile space.
Reputation management
Most businesses are at least operating a website, but even those rejecting the online space need to be aware of how fast rumours and allegations can fly in the digital age. Several companies have had their reputations tarnished within hours from the activities of either rogue employees, or a botched advertising campaign.
Last year, Domino's Pizza landed itself into trouble when two employees posted a video of themselves handling food unhygienically on the internet. Cotton On experienced backlash on Facebook when it continued to sell baby clothes with slogans such as "They Shake Me".
Marketing
While mobile advertising may be taking awhile to heat up, many businesses are developing new and interesting mobile marketing campaigns to draw people into their stores.
Google has developed a system whereby users take a picture of a barcode with their mobile phone and use the search engine to find information. But it isn't just big companies which are using mobiles for marketing. Peter Shipman, who owns a casual Mexican restaurant in the US, bought ads in university newspapers to advertise a barcode sent through text messages used to claim discounts.
US company Jagtag is now developing a technology used to identify barcodes through camera phones, when it is then sent via text message in order for the user to receive a discount code.
Content
The growth of the internet has allowed businesses to publish content of their own, including blogs, pictures and even videos.
Open Source
Once upon a time, businesses wouldn't trust open-source programs in favour of branded, more trustworthy software solutions. But now open-source has given SMEs a way of operating high-end programs without substantial costs.
With popular programs such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Open Office, WordPress and Joomla now gaining notoriety, organisations are beginning to realise open-source programs aren't just technically inferior rip-offs, but legitimate alternatives.
A number of organisations, including the British Government and the French police force, have openly supported open-source, while Gartner research from late-2008 indicates the majority of businesses in the Asia/Pacific region took up open-source in 2009.
And with the development and popularity of open-source Android operating system continuing to grow, open-source is likely to play a major part in a business's IT strategy in 2010.
Cloud computing
Two years ago "cloud computing" was viewed by many businesses as a buzzword with no particular meaning, used by tech-heads who didn't quite know what they were talking about.
Now, using cloud services has become an essential for businesses. Whether they are backing up their data or using a piece of software hosted on external servers, cloud computing is now a part of everyday operations for many SMEs.
Cloud services have branched out into three main categories: applications, also known as software-as-a-service, infrastructure, used for data backups, and internal service providers for businesses with customised apps and programs.
Analyst firm Gartner recently named cloud computing as one of the top strategic technologies for 2010, saying it could be exploited in a number of different ways to customise programs and apps to a particular company's needs.
"Using cloud resources does not eliminate the costs of IT solutions, but does rearrange some and reduce others. In addition, consuming cloud services enterprises will increasingly act as cloud providers and deliver application, information or business process services to customers and business partners."
