Alright this is just me babbling about this idea...
But the average person who would use your site is someone who would be called a middle to younger generation. ..exp myspace..looking at 17-30..are the users who log in and use this site..daily..and thats what you want..somone whos going to use the site. As much as possible! Myself..a person who came across this site..because someone emailed me on myspace..although my sister. Who is a couple years younger than me. Uses a similar site to this all the time. Called (C^^^GS List... When i logged in i seen that there wasn’t that many people logged in..sad yes i know..but this all can be fixed with time. Also once people log in..there not sure what to do....in hence they dont come back!! I know this is a marketing question..but this if full circle stuff.... Anways..Whats the ONE of the main reason someone gets a Myspace?..To ither stay connected to friends. OR MAKE New FREINDS..relationships whatever.. SO>> i would Put lots of attention on the whole meeting newpeople thing.. maybe even. Something that instantly connects/matches people that have the same interest as you.. I would also. Hire people to actually ..connect with the people who are using the site. Until he site gets large enough where u don’t need it. But u really want to show ALOT OF posts as much as possible...so people see that It works.. I don’t think marketing with Key chains.. Hats...or anything of product nature will really work. That doesnt help in the beginning.. because if no one knows what it is. THERE NOT GOING TO GO LOOK IT UP!! if i saw someone with a Beast toast hat. On before today....that item is Not going to make me want to go check it out... Although if i heard my fav dj on the radio talk about his post going on. And go online to check out what everyone’s saying about this situation or event --- Cool..im gunna do that! As far as a full expansive marketing program I would hit the college kids the hardest.. Posters.. Flyers and media at the actual campuses. Maybe even host some little events on campus . Because college kids. Really love to meet new people..and Have great opinions about everything! There not afraid to speak there mind and have so many different and broad spectrum of interests PERFECT FOR BEAST Toast !! ...........So in all that babbling .................................................. ................... i think beast Toast should. Target people who are looking to make contacts...By matching people with similar interests asap..clubs..schools..places of work( whao Fun place to grip about the boss) ...Try to create as much interaction between people as possible even if u have to hire people to be a professional poster to keep people involved. And involved people bring their friends! and so onn! Also hit the college demographic Hard.
...............I know i may be wrong about all this. But i just find it so interesting. .have a great day!--- Lamo i just reread my post..i sound like a Know it all..but im really looking for people to tell me what they think-- I promise im a sweet person who love to hear other peoples ideas!
