Internet Marketing Strategies
Learn How To Launch Creative, Strategic and Powerful Internet Marketing Campaigns.
Marketing is about promoting your company, it is about promoting yourself and by promoting yourself you are in a way promoting your company. In a crowd of thousands of people, how can you get noticed by others at the same place, in the newspapers or even on national TV? It might not be as hard as it sounds.
I think that the easiest way is to make some big banners with some creative words, this has always worked and it will probably always work. Media loves it and you see it at all major sport events and concerts or other events like political rallies.
I saw some interesting banners today in an article (the article is in Norwegian) about the latest soccer game where Los Angeles Galaxy star player David Beckham did not play. One banner was “Bench it like Beckham” and another one was “David, welcome to America where people like you get paid to do nothing”. Well, I am not saying that you should write banners like that… but you do get noticed 
What if the person with the “Bench it like Beckham” banner had added a small url at the bottom? He or she would probably get a lot of new visitors to his blog. If you think about it, this banner has probably been in a lot of newspapers and magazines all over the world as well as TV channels. This is how to stand out in any crowd.
If you dare, at the next political rally where President George Bush will be, stand in the crowd with a sign that says something like “George likes Bald Men” and / or maybe wear a T-shirt with it and your logo or url… I would probably never do something like this, but it might work, or what do you think?
Well, it would at least be amusing to see a sign or a T-shirt like that at a political rally.
Hey there!!! It was my husband and I who made that Bench It Like Beckham banner. We were hoping he would be there to physically see it, but I’m sure he’s seen it by now. I had no idea I’d be seeing it all over the net and TV like that! I came up with the phrase (not that it was a hard one to come up with thanks to the movie title) and the hubby painted it. As an afterthought I did kind of wish we put our names on it at least, and the URL for our FC Dallas supporters group. We even left the banner there after the game so who knows who has it now I’m glad something of mine had its 15 seconds of fame though Pretty cool.
Hi Rosalyn
That´s funny. I never thought you would actually visit my blog. Thanks!
And keep up the great job, and remember to put your name or the URL of your supporter group the next time
