Marketing and Public Relations on a Website or Blog

October 30, 2006 by Danny

Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations, & Branding for the quick-read crowd was really a quick read over at SmallBusinessBranding.com. The part I liked best was the graphical explanation of marketing, advertising, public relations and branding. For a visual person like me, these pictures did all the speaking.

But that’s just the introduction of what I’d like to share with you. When you have a blog or website like FlyingSolo with more than 11,500+ readers and with a probability that a client might be reading your article, it’s worth putting some marketing and public relations (pr) budget to such a website.

Back in June I was excited to find out the art of Wufoo form creation was about to be launched. Not long before that, I even was given the opportunity to beta test the service and even wrote a review.

Flash Trends Make Clients Lose Foresight

October 11, 2006 by Danny

Malaysia clients are suckers for the Flash trend. One look at competitor websites that have Flash and a chain reaction of jealousy (not envy) jumps in. They want something alike if not better without having foresight and care for their customers.

I even intentionally asked a prospective client if I’m looking to buy your product, what will I be doing on your website? It was easily answered; to find out more information about their product. The next scenario I follwed up with was if I was there to find more information, why will I be looking at the ‘moving element’ on the website?

A Visit Malaysia Blogging Campaign

October 5, 2006 by Danny

If you haven’t heard, the government is pumping billions of Malaysian Ringgit into the Ministry of Tourism next year. Why the large investment into that specific account? Well, if you’ve been counting the years of celebration, next year is our 50th birthday.

Other than the Tourism Malaysia website that I think needs a new refreshing outlook, we’ve also got a cyber campaign running in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2007. The Visit Malaysia Cyber Campaign (duh!) targets to invite the world to visit Malaysia by relying on pure Malaysian spirit to send out email invitations, e-card invitations and even SMS invitations to your friends overseas.
