Share your experience as a consumer and make a difference

Join Bangladesh Consumer Reviews and share your valuable experiences as a consumer. Your Experience Matters! Your Say Matters! Also read about others' experiences as consumers.
Often we consume products, avail services from businesses and institutions only to be victimized by frauds. The loss could often be beyond financial. Unfortunately there is no easy way to sue the product/service provider or the business. Consumers are only re-victimized. Doctors have associations and often we are helpless and at their mercy. We are constantly cheated and deceived and taken advantage of. So please help out other consumers by posting your experiences. You are also encouraged to add photos and videos to your post to add credibility to your claim/complaint.

Consumer issues have big implications for security and fairness. To help other members search for the product, service, business or website and read about others' experiences before they spend a fortune (or put their lives at risk!), try to make your posts as search friendly and informative as possible. Please play fair! You Can Have A Say and stop us consumers from being exploited! We have suffered enough.

An opportunity to build Your Career in Marketing

Do you have what it takes to be a Successful Marketer?

Note: IBCS-PRiMAX is offering this opportunity to all (not only to students), regardless of your experience and  education

Affiliate Marketing is a buzz these days. I am not referring to the strategy taken by Destiny, which is Multi Level Marketing (MLM) whose structure eventually crashes. Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards affiliates for each customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. Affiliate Marketing can be a great topic for your analysis or term report. 

Another buzz these days is Enterprise Resource Planning. Speaking of which, our company is offering you an opportunity and assistance to help you gain hands on experience with a solution that is in highest demand today, and at the same time a way for you to make some cash. Choose your topic. Choose your industry. Nothing beats real life experience to help you with your career no matter how much you score in your exams. You don't need an IT background. You can learn the basics of ERP systems and Oracle product suites in the links provided below and more available links (refer to our best friend Google).

Oracle EBS
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for Midsize Companies
 
Our company is an Oracle authorized partner and reseller (the first in Bangladesh actually). ERPs improve the performance of organizations' resource planning, management control and operational control. I will also provide some tips on carrying out performance-based marketing in later posts. 

All medium to large enterprises (manufacturing, telecom, financial, service providers, NGOs, public sectors - even Bangladesh railway) are now implementing ERP and other Oracle product suites to manage their day-to-day operations. It has almost become mandatory for business. View the links below:

PHP Group adopts ERP
DBL goes for Automation

Therefore, if you can, through your marketing efforts, generate leads for us, be able to convince entrepreneurs with marketing materials (available below for download) and demonstrations how an Oracle ERP system can enhance the performance of their enterprise and considerably increase their productivity, we will share a percentage of the profit, (usually a six digit figure!!), with you.
