Prepaid Energy Meter-Advantages

Increased responsible usage by customers  :::::: Save power a save energy.
Energy billing will become centralized and the cost and time of labor required to collect the reading and distribute the bills  will be reduced.
Increase in control over distribution for the authorities.
Advance (prepaid ) energy supply.
In a country like India, there is no  regular payment of bills, this system of energy billing will definitely decrease the burden on the system.
The load forecasting can also be easy.
 
The percentage of theft of electricity can be minimized

Prepaid Energy Meter-Info

The conventional energy billing  is not accurate and also time & labor  consuming .
We have seen many cases about wrong entry of meter reading, inefficient  generation & processing of bills.
Delayed payment of bills.
Due payments from many people like politicians, police quarters etc( we often get to read through news papers).
Not able to control or reduce the illegal usage (theft) of power.
So for all these reason we need to shift to a more efficient method of energy billing which will overcome all the above drawbacks of the conventional billing system.
 
    This gives birth to the new generation energy billing system

France Financial Services===AXA

Although its making some strategic acquisitions in relatively stable emerging markets, AXA has not been immune to negative market conditions. Market sentiment has dented its share price and a series of blunders led to clients being reimbursed for poor management of their accounts, all at a time when consumer trust in the US financial sector is at an historic low.


 United States Food===Heinz

With sales struggling, Heinz has embarked on an awareness drive, supported by some innovative products (it is planning to launch 100 new lines around the world this year). The continued success of the brand is driven by growth in emerging markets, particularly in Russia, India, China, Indonesia, and Poland.


United States Personal Care===Colgate


 Colgate’s brand growth this year can be attributed to an increase in advertising spend, resulting in exceptional sales growth. New products have been successfully launched, both in the US and internationally. The launches have been supported by fully integrated campaigns that make the most of online interactivity to engage with consumers

United States Media==MTV

As a youth brand, MTV is expected to keep up with the times. In this era of social networking and user generated content, it has made the most of online and mobile channels, adapting content to suit these audiences and choosing partners that can help it to reach them in new and exciting ways. But it’s the brand’s activities in emerging markets that could reap the biggest rewards. An expanded influence in China and India sits alongside real headway in Arabic markets, as North Africa and the Middle East adopt a more relaxed cultural attitude and music increases in popularity.


Germany Automotive===volkswagen

This was another brand to benefit from the deserved German reputation for solidity and reliability. VW has moved to overtly own this territory with the simple, category-claiming tagline, “Das Auto.” Walter de Silva, the group’s new design chief, set threefold goals for the group in an attempt to create a distinctive look for the brand: (1) create an identifiable design for each VW brand; (2) create a unique face for the Golf and build a family of derivatives; and (3) simplify the design of future VW cars.


 
United States  Financial Services===AIG


The negative press surrounding the US financial services industry, as well as AIG’s infighting and slowness to acknowledge errors publicly, has damaged the brand relative to more agile competition. AIG is on the defensive, with less effort being spent on rebuilding its diminished image and a renewed focus on its balance sheet.

United States Automotive===Ford

Despite recent changes to the product portfolio, Ford has struggled to convince consumers that it does more than just produce big cars with big engines. This is a problem of momentum  having invested heavily in owning the big-truck space in the past, it’s taking time to shift its image. This isn’t helped by negative media coverage on the company’s performance, undermining confidence in the brand with internal and external audiences. Ford has started the change process and is producing smaller vehicles in the US, but needs to communicate with customers and employees to re-establish its reputation.


United States Automotive ===Harley-Davidson

Despite its rich heritage and cult following, Harley-Davidson saw a 9% fall in revenues in the US, suggesting it is struggling to stay relevant with its home audience.  The brand has enjoyed real equity in the past, but it needs to find new ways to engage consumers to make sure the same is true of its future.


France Personal Care===L'Oréal


L’Oréal has reinforced its position as one of the world’s most prominent cosmetics companies by successfully expanding into emerging markets. It has also taken advantage of the growing demand for male grooming products by using celebrities to endorse the brand. The brand continues to use the slogan “Because You’re Worth It”  a consistent message that helps to reinforce its identity
