First of May is known as International Labour day. For many workers it means working towards a soft-landing. Last year we noticed an increase in product prices that we still observe in 2024. We noticed increase in service prices too. However, have you ever tried looking for someone or something that was stalwart to find? You become persistent recalling every detail of this object which you are trying to find.
Even better, have you tried looking for an expert? What is the feeling of not finding one? Do you find yourself asking why you are looking for this person? Is the individual busy? Do you begin to wish it was feasible to relax and expect this person (or this object) to find you? Expecting someone to find an individual without previous knowledge that we are looking for the individual doesn’t work. We have chosen to title our last post ‘The future is AI’ because we trust oosyn.com is where technology and creativity interact to enable you find the experts you are looking for. It is also the place you come to collaborate with people who are as creative as you. OOSYN is the place you come to seek and book quality time with the experts.
Artificial Intelligence technology allows computer and machines to simulate human intelligence and problem solving capabilities. But, how do we contextualise AI for Africa? Most African creative thinking face challenges at the time of unfolding their work. Showing the website on different time zones is a major challenge. Hosting companies charge a fee for hosting. And industry trends do not wait for African creative minds. With a lot of talent and creativity out there how do we make it work? From a tech standpoint it can only work when African creative artistry and beauty companies own a website. They can choose to own an online profile on Instagram too.
One question we got from oosyn.com visitors is why Prajna’s DEMO wasn’t placed as the main page. Our answer is this: the search button is the relevant element on our landing page. This is because we want our visitors to ‘try it out’. We want you to begin your interaction with our website at the top of the page. Once the visitor lands on our website the search button reminds the visitor of the purpose of visiting the website. You are on oosyn.com to search for a beauty professional.
Our Create Account icon is a pop up. It is the second insignia we expect our website visitors to engage with. In fact, the create account process is so special that we placed this step at the top too. After a website visitor has tried the search button and has understood what this website is becoming creating an account is just the natural course for any e-commerce website visitor. We want our visitors to become frequent visitors. We want them to know they are at the centre of oosyn.com. Above all, we want you to love and book the services that will be part of our listing.
Moving forward and as you begin to scroll down the page we expect the visitor, regardless of race and gender, to identify himself/herself with the job titles. Because If you identified yourself as an expert within these job categories and went on to click on any of these buttons a form will prompt you to upload proof of who you are claiming to be. This is our Sign Up form. Our Sign Up form works as a job post. The HR personnel reviewing your application is expecting your CV and your experience to match specific keywords laid out on the job post. The ‘know how’ of an expert is easy to identify. This may be an extensive experience in the industry or a tremendous knowledge accumulated on certain topics related to the industry. On oosyn we enable this match with the professional photos you upload to our website. And the detailed description provided on Sign Up forms.
For a fashion photographer the client is expecting to view photos of models you have previously worked with, a brief description of the runway events you have photographed, and the cameras you are experienced with. These details will prompt a client to pay your days’ worth (or book for a couple of weeks) just to ensure a fashion photographer is attending the show. When a service provider collaborates with others -in other words the more a service provider works with other creative minds- the better creative mind she will become. She will be more responsible for her tasks. She will become a better expert as she stays informed on latest technology, trends and developments occurring in the industry. Ultimately, she will identify and address obstacles that may arise during a project execution. Extending further on the website developments we wanted oosyn.com to be as interactive as possible. We didn’t just want to write out a set of information to our website visitors. We wanted to know about their remote experiences. We wanted them to communicate with us. For this type of engagement we secured a Contact Us page. Month on month we interacted with them through the New Feed subsection. And surprisingly we got feedback from readers. The oosyn team received all emails and ensured all enquiries got their feedback.
On a previous post we described the future as fast paced, dynamic and competitive. Now, it is time to add the letter F-L-E-X-I-B-L-E as remote work sets out the need to discover companies, experts and interaction in various markets simultaneously. Which then led to an increasing need of organising these expertise. Oosy.com is responding to these increasing needs by ensuring skills get promoted across the border. That beauty professionals get paid for each time they receive a booking.
Therefore, rise up. Start asking how you can work to make the future a place where people and things are easily found. And remember these three practices
We are team first. If you believe in the power of collaboration and that the team’s success is your success, then you are one of us.
Fun is fundamental. We believe in forming strong bonds in and outside of projects. This is why we want to see you allocate time to collaborating with other creative minds.
Positivity wins the day. Bring a positive attitude and communicate openly with other members of the community. They will become clients. An openness to learn and great communication skills are always a plus.
