Exegesis Shrinks

Adrian has helped me focus my documentation for the Honours project which is a great relief to me.

However, there is still the same amount of research and tasks to be done for the business. This is some of the new things I've been looking at but haven't had the time to process.

Links of more types of fashion blogs :

Also for my Social networking reference , I should find out more about the application Stumbleupon.

My exploration into the world of Twitter intrigues me. How topics flow constantly from one board to another. It makes me wonder if it is possible to influence certain the trends in topics.

On a side note, trying to spam & trick strangers into doing my survey is harder than I thought.
my first try was to make myself sound friendly and unique by putting the title

"You Are the Melbourne Fashion Fairy"
but as usual, when others saw that it was from the email "Primandpoppers@gmail.com" nobody dared to open the email for fear of spam.

So I've just changed my strategy, I placed the Survey link at the end of a funny joke email in hopes that ppl will circulate it for me. However, it may just be edited away :(

SO If you guys are lovable kind Survey fillers- please do fill this 10 questions up

And these are half of the first photoshoot!

How to write a Media Plan

Taken from Wikipedia Components of a media plan Define the marketing problem. Where is the business coming from and where is the potential for increased business? Does the ad need to reach everybody or only a select group of consumers? How often is the product used? How much product loyalty exists? Translate the marketing requirements into media objectives. Must the ad reach people in a wide area? Then mass media, like newspaper and radio, might work. If the target market is a select group in a defined geographic area, then direct mail could be best. Define a media solution by formulating media strategies. For example, the rule of thumb is that a print ad must run three times before it gets noticed. Radio advertising is most effective when run at certain times of the day or around certain programs, depending on what market is being reached. Advertising media includes Television ( TVC, television commercial) Radio Newspapers Magazines (consumer and trade) Outdoor bil...
