Popup Table - #1!
Our new product, PopUp Table
launched this week on the Apple store, as well as our website http://www.popup-table.com/html/index.php. PopUp Table is a mobile application that allows users to receive
discounts of at least 35% off at hotel restaurants in Hong Kong. Yesterday, we
had many different people from various Hong Kong press companies coming in to
talk about the app. You can see my office in this particular interview http://hk.dv.nextmedia.com/actionnews/local/20120803/16572012/16572643, however I was having lunch so was not at my desk.
Our Hotel In Shanhai
It's really cool seeing how
fast the app is growing, in real time. This is especially true with the number
of fans on our Facebook page. We have also become the #1 free food and beverage
app on the Apple store in just a few short days! We’ve surpassed Openrice, which
is a very large, popular company for finding restaurants in Hong Kong.
Shanghai Food- AKA The Best Food Ever
Although I'm not studying
marketing, it is still important, especially for accountants, to understand the
other areas of the business. This internship is giving me a really good insight
in to the functions of IT and marketing departments, something I am sure will
be useful later in my career. It's also making me better understand which area
of accounting I'd like to go into further into my career. I really enjoy
assisting small businesses grow.
"The Bund" - Shanghai
I had taken some time off at
the beginning of this week to visit Shanghai. It reminded me a lot of Toronto,
but had some really cool traditional areas with interesting gifts and
architecture. It was especially pretty in the evening. It was similar to Hong
Kong in some ways, but the language is different (Mandarin instead of
Cantonese) and hardly anyone spoke English. This made getting around the city
more difficult, but we managed! Our flight to Shanghai was delayed over 10
hours! We spent all day Friday at the Hong Kong airport, and didn’t arrive in
Shanghai until 5am!
Cutest Fish Ever! At the Aquarium
Despite the late landing, we
still had tonnes of fun; especially at the aquarium. All the fish were really cool
especially the jellyfish and one fish that looked like a dragon fruit. Their
aquarium had the world’s longest under-tank tunnel.
