Besides dealing with the direction of where we want to go with bacchanal fashions there is a lot of work to be done with the marketing of the blog itself. The blog is our medium to receive feedback and obviously to promote our products....but lets be honest there isn't much feedback in the beginning and not much traffic for effective promotion. We are currently working on promoting the blog and there is a lot of work to be done.
To summarize we are going to have to:
-join and promote on a host of forums
-join other social networking sites such as Digg, Del.icio.us etc
-submit our blogs to a host of main blog directories
-Advertise on craigslist
-Join other blogs, communities etc.
Its easier said than done....it takes a lot of time to build a community and a lot of work to have content to keep you interested.
If anyone has any ideas feel free to post....we are open to anything.

Hi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way as you do. I never bothered about networking and for sure, the cold calling doesn't work. Moreover there's risk of DNCL getting involved. Recently at a Realtor Quest meeting in Toronto where over 20K realtors reached, Social Networking was the greatest success. The twitter is really good if you want to upload your latest line to people. Check out www.breakingtorontonews.com and how to use twitter to send messages there. You will like that.
Paul ,
