Once again, BuyCostumes.com is kicking ass and taking names. (or at least selling stuff cheap).

Product first, everything else second.
I was checking out You Tube last night and noticed there was an original trailer for one of my all time favorite movies; Back to the Future (the first one). While I was watching it one think came abundantly clear; the trailer sucked. We all know the movie is an all time classic (if you disagree you are stupid and I hate you). It made me realize it’s not the marketing, fancy packaging or even the stars; it’s the product that counts. At the end of the day, if you have a quality product you will be successful. The rest just doesn’t matter as much.

Spy Fu - but is it true?
There are a lot of competitive intelligence companies out there (see previous posts under this topic) the latest is Spy Fu. The presentation is great; they seem to show you everything about the target companies marketing. What they spend, where their links come from, SEO results, paid results, the list goes on and on. My only questions is how accurate is Spy Fu? I ran the results on one of my competitors to see if it passed the smell test. So far the jury is still out…

Mask sales can predict the future!
The only thing I love more than selling costumes is using my companies Ninja skills to predict future events. Like the next President of the United States!

Creepy Marketing
Just when you thought the Internet was getting safer from creepy stalker types, the folks over at Social Flowers figured out a way to let your secret admirer/stalker send you flowers. Even if they don't know your name, address, or know anything about you, for that matter. While my gut tells me the model is way creepy - my capitalist brain asks why didn't I think of that? Well, at least I can finally send flowers to Rosie O'donnell.
Marketing old school
This old poster reminds me that all advertisments are a form of propaganda. Remember "You can't beat the Axis if you get VD" words to live by, in my book.

Bud TV
The folks over at Anheuser-Busch have decided to throw $20-million at Bud TV. I think they could have saved $19,900,000. First of all it is a LDA site (that's Legal Drinking Age for all of you) which means they have to verify that you are 21 or older before you can get in and it seems to look like every other wannabe corporate [hip] site out there. What makes it different? besides the $20MM of course...
