Comment: Marketing Through The Internet

I feel that the internet can be helpful in anyway possible, if the necessary precautions and right way of going about your actions is taken.  Today is the day where really anything is possible.  We have an internet database of people talking/sharing links/pictures/videos, that has become a symbol of our generation as well as a multimillion dollar company.  The music industry definitely took a hit when napster, limewire, bearshare, etc. came out and made streaming and up/downloading of music so easy.  I really think Mr. Vitone could capitalize on the use of the internet if he found the best path suited to fit his needs and ideas for his company..

Do you think Mr. Vitone should use something like Facebook or Myspace to get his word out, if not already done?

Holiday Advertisements

While watching tv, I saw a commercial for creme eggs (the best candy for Easter).  While watching I began to think of the marketing and advertisement strategies that are needed to power the economy.  One thing that gets me every year about Holidays, is that we jump right from Halloween to Christmas for advertising purposes.  There is no patience to get through the Thanksgiving season before starting the crazy Christmas shopping.  I know there are no good Thanksgiving jams, like the thousands we have for Christmas, but we should still pay more respect to all of our Holidays.  Thanksgiving is another time for building a strong family foundation, pushing into Christmas just adds to the idea that we all are material driven.  I have always loved Thanksgiving; family, food and fun.  I love the other holidays too but I feel like all the holidays should get their needed respects and time period(s).

Do you feel that any other Holidays are overlooked because of the presence or future presence of other holidays?
