New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, October 01, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- A recent in-depth independent study conducted by Iffort Consulting, a Noida-based leading web strategy and social media consulting firm, brings iXiGO.com to the limelight as one of the fastest growing Indian brands on Facebook, through its fan page presence at http://www.facebook.com/ixigocom. In addition to iXiGO.com, the study applauds the efforts of brands such as MTV-India (most popular brand) and Delhi Traffic Police (most active brand) on the medium. A full copy of the study report is available for download at http://www.iffort.com/facebook.php.
The Iffort study titled "How are business entities in India using Facebook" selected and reviewed the Facebook fan pages of 25 select brands across 7 industry verticals - Media, Consumer Durables, Food Chains, FMCG, Telecom, Online Portals & Publishing for over a one month period, and analyzed them against quantitative & qualitative criteria such as number of fans, growth rate, on-page activity, likes/discussions on walls, methods of engagement, responsiveness of admins & quality of content, in order to assess them for growth & engagement of their target audience on Facebook.
According to the study, iXiGO.com's Facebook fan page experienced the highest percentage growth rates among all the Indian brands surveyed across verticals, with 148% fan-base growth during the period of assessment. iXiGO.com was also one of the Top-5 most discussed brands on Facebook with 200+ daily interactions. The study noted the use of innovative engagement strategies by iXiGO.com that were being replicated by other online travel brands on Facebook. Specific activities on the iXiGO.com fan page were quoted in the study e.g. - "a bunch of activities like active wall posts by the administrator are keeping community members busy with puzzles on site-seeing places, animals, buildings, trekking spots etc. In addition, there is a separate tab of "Contests & Promotions" on their fan page."
"The Iffort study highlights the growing clout of social media marketing in India as a vital part of marketing & PR strategy," said Aloke Bajpai, Founder-CEO, iXiGO.com, "Quality content, unbeatable travel deals, responsive admins & constantly listening to feedback from fans is the secret recipe of our growth."

Singapore's Image as Gateway to Global Business Boosted by Recent International rankings
Singapore's ranking among the top five economies in the world for competitiveness and business is likely to boost its image as the leading hub for conducting global business activities
Singapore, Friday, October 01, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- An analysis by SingaporeSetup.com of various international ranking reports released in 2010 shows that Singapore has consistently earned a top spot in all such reports reaffirming the country's role as a key business hub in Asia and beyond. This stellar performance in various rankings is likely to reinforce the confidence of foreign investors who may be planning to set up a company in Singapore and leverage on various business benefits the country has to offer, predicts www.SingaporeSetup.com.
Ever since the World Bank's '2010 Ease of Doing Business Report' declared Singapore as the 'World's Easiest Place to do Business', the country has been on a roll in various business rankings and emerging as a preeminent business destination not only in Asia but the entire world.
According to Ms. Catherine Lee, a senior editorial board member of the Singapore incorporation web portal SingaporeSetup.com, "Singapore's splendid performance in recent international rankings demonstrates the nation's excellence as compared to over 100 major economies of the world. Rankings are a critical and unique tool for understanding the business dynamism of a country. In a way, rankings promote entrepreneurship as they help identify disparities between jurisdictions and aid in making an informed choice on the best business jurisdiction for foreign investment and business expansion".
The IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook named Singapore as the 'Most Competitive Economy' this year while the World Economic Forum revealed that Singapore's economy is the 'Most Open to Trade' among 125 economies worldwide. Canadian think-tank Fraser Institute and US based Heritage Foundation consider Singapore as the second freest economy in the world. French global credit insurer Coface, named Singapore as the least risky place for business in Southeast Asia. Singapore has also been consistently lauded for its labor force. BERI's 'Labor Force Evaluation Measure' has ranked Singapore's labor's force as #1 in the world for over a decade. Singapore has also emerged as a top scorer for offering the best quality of life in Asia in surveys conducted by Mercer and ECA International. Gallup's recently published 'Potential Net Migration Index' indicates that Singapore is the world's most desirable immigration hot-spot.
Further analysis of the country reports unveils that Singapore has been a top performer in most parameters including tax environment, Intellectual Property protection regime, labor market efficiency, financial market sophistication, technological readiness, government efficiency, quality of infrastructure, trade regulations, ease of business setup, regulatory environment, and quality of life.
"As the Singapore brand gains global recognition, more foreign businesses are keen to explore how to setup a business presence in Singapore. Having emerged as the best country to work, live, and play Singapore is brimming with business opportunities and there is a strong likelihood of a spike in the number of Singapore company registrations in the months to come", added Ms. Lee.
