making Him famous…

flier-frontflier-back

We ordered these last night and they have shipped today. I am so excited, even after i said a million times I would not do fliers, well I guess i have to take that back dont i. You will be seeing the “making Him famous” a lot more in the very near future as you ride through downtown Atlanta and the Old Fourth Ward. So be on the look out.

I designed this flier to simply spread the love about our soon to be released peculiarlove website. A website we decided to create to share with you and others the work in the community we plan to engage in. Our first effort came during election, and this weekend we are doing our GiveBack, where we will place $2000.00 worth of gift cards in the mailboxes and hands of the residents of Old Fourth Ward. Shhhh! They don’t know yet, so don’t tell them!

Looking forward to your thoughts on the flier and the website as it launches – really hope you add your stories to the peculiarlove website!!

creative constipation!!!!!

Posted in: Peculiar Place, Technology and Innovation, marketing

WHEW!!!! I wish they made a Pepto-Bismol, kind of flush you out laxative for what I’m suffering right now! OK I know that was gross and well i really just wanted you to understand my pain.

I have chosen a piece of our branding initiative, our logo, thanks to the help of some really cool and creative peoples. Now I am attempting to move on to business cards, letterhead, website, note card, and all other pieces of this initiative that must speak the language of peculiarplace!

And frankly, my brain is stuck, like I’ve eaten more cheese than it can digest. (last one i promise).

So what do you do when you are stuck? Please help!!!!

viral???

Posted in: marketing

A new trend, well technically not so new, is taking over in terms of marketing and promotion and it goes by the name of viral marketing. What is it? well I have found some information that will give us the basics and some insight to what it is and how we can use it to promote ourselves or a product we deem viable!

Definition: Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message’s exposure and influence.

Now Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, E-Commerce Consultant has compiled a list of six simple principles of viral marketing, i will share the six he has listed on the site, but for a more detailed look at each one of these principles click here.

  • Gives away products or services
  • Provides for effortless transfer to others
  • Scales easily from small to very large
  • Exploits common motivations and behaviors
  • Utilizes existing communication networks
  • Takes advantage of others’ resources

How has youtube, myspace, faceboook, and other sites encouraged viral marketing practices or even better made this type of marketing an outlet for the average person to use in marketing themselves, their church, or a product?
