Advertising – do it right!
May 1st, 2009
Just a quick one from me really. I just had a look at ChefPatrick’s blog and noticed this video and thought “wow” thats a really neat idea. The basic premise is this; have a hot girl wearing a sponsored t shirt appear at the start of the video. It got my attention and I’m sure it’d work for other people too (webmasters are predominately male). I also really like the cheekiness of the idea. Seriously, its a great idea!
This idea works for two reasons.
- It grabs your attention to both watch it, and continue watching
- It has the possiblity to go viral, people blog about it (i.e. me) or tell their friends
So next time you want to do some advertising or drum up traffic for your site, consider how ChefPatrick did it!
P.s. @ 3:05 ChefPatrick pronounces niche as “nish”… ITS NICHE (neesh)!!!
Chris - With over 8 years experience developing web sites I have managed to create a number of successful, money making, sites and the good news is you can do it too, the bad news is to make it work you have to put in the effort! This blog will hopefully help you along your way!
Thanks for the mention, glad you enjoy my videos
Awesome attention grabber. I may try that with a few videos on youtube to drive traffic to my blog.
Yeah it’s good Chef, what made you come up with the idea?
