A Look at 10 Famous Lawyer Entrepreneurs

There have been many famous lawyers throughout history who, in addition to practicing law, also built and ran successful businesses or participated in ventures that didn’t always relate directly to law. Elizabeth Halloway Marston, for example, after receiving an LLB degree from Boston University, helped develop systolic blood pressure test. John Adams, in addition to many other primary responsibilities he had, acted as the main writer of the Massachusetts Constitution, which served as a model for the Constitution of the United States of America. This tradition of lawyers investing time and resources into other unrelated ventures has continued over time. The following infographic highlights a few entrepreneurial lawyers who have found great success in other ventures they chose to develop or invested in after receiving their law degrees.

Anatomy of One Day Shipping

As more and more people have become comfortable with using the internet as a primary shopping tool, ecommerce companies have worked hard to meet the constantly-evolving expectations of their customers. Today, consumers expect companies to provide an online shopping experience that is quick, customized, and convenient. This has led many companies to develop new, competitive strategies and services that aim to keep customers coming back for more. One such strategy that some companies now offer to their customers is known as 1-day shipping. Despite what many online shoppers think, 1-day shipping does not always necessarily mean they will receive their items the very next day after ordering. Instead, most companies that offer this service to customers are guaranteeing that the item purchased will be shipped one business day after it is available by the seller or retailer. In many cases, ecommerce companies will also list the estimated delivery date of an item separately from the guaranteed shipping date. In the case of Amazon Prime however, 1-day shipping does actually mean shoppers who have signed up for the service can expect to receive the item 24 hours after it has shipped. The following infographic illustrates the complex system Amazon has developed in order to be able to confidently offer this service (they have 80 fulfillment centers around the world). It also outlines how 1-day shipping models typically work, what Amazon has in store for the future of their shipping services (hint: same-day shipping), how other companies like eBay, Etsy, and Google are handling shipping demands. - See more at: http://itthing.com/anatomy-of-one-day-shipping#sthash.IN1Yib9o.dpuf

Social Media For Social Good

According to a recent survey, 83 percent of Americans want brands to support causes. In the same survey, it was found that 41 percent of people bought a product from a company because they knew the company was associated with a cause. As more companies and nonprofits are evolving into social enterprises (a hybrid of charity and business), many are counting on social media to help them succeed. With online charity giving steadily rising, along with the ever-increasing popularity of social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, and more, it’s not hard to find a number of recent examples of social enterprises that are effectively using social media to aid in their efforts. The following infographic highlights a few these examples, and offers more supporting research for companies who are considering moving toward the ‘social enterprise’ business model.
