I’m a freelance web designer and I’ll admit, I love designing more than coding. Most of the work I’ve done is for gaming sites, and since there are so many of those on the web I enjoy the challenge of adding unique features to them. You can view my web design portfolio at www.insytestudio.com. I’m currently studying Internet marketing at Full Sail University and will graduate with a BS in February 2011. Am I pumped? Ch-ya. If you’re currently looking at going to college, regardless of how old you are, seriously check out Full Sail, there are a lot of people out there with nothing good to say about Full Sail but take it from me, they know what they’re talking about. So far I’ve learned so much about not only marketing but business, web usability, etc etc.

Google announced today a brand new way to be a couch potato. Google TV will allow regular ol’ potatoes like me to make the transition to full blow couch potatohood by offering web videos on the TV, rather than your measly 15 laptop inch monitor (with 23″ external monitor?).
Instead of watching videos on your laptop, [...]

One week ago I started a new job as a web designer at a development company called T8 Webware. T8 creates web sites for financial institutions based in Flash which is a completely different world of design than I’m accustomed to. In the last several years I’ve designed in Photoshop then hand coded everything into [...]

The US is finally catching up to the rest of the world in terms of mobile technology adaptation. If you look at the industry five years ago it was almost non-existent and now it has exploded into the largest (and possibly only) growing marketing channels. TV, radio and newspapers have all been expected to decrease [...]

Mobile Marketing For Big Kids

Posted in Marketing | No comments

About 40 percent of SMS users are adults who are 35 or older. About 70 percent of mobile news subscribers are over 25. What does this say about all of the advertisers only focusing on teens with phones? They are missing out on a huge amount of the mobile community.
It’s easy to assume that a [...]

Marketing to Different Cultures

Habits develop differently in different cultures. Mobile phone usage is no exception. In some villages in Africa you will find no house number, but rather their phone number as a way to reach them. If you think about it, it makes sense and it works for them. It is vital for marketers to be aware [...]

Posted in Uncategorized | No comments

JC Penney isn’t exactly ahead of the times in regard to mobile marketing, but they are playing catch-up. Their mobile couponing pilot project, with adequate planning, should see huge results. Their target demographic is 25-35 year old women. As we all know, women always have two things with them: their cell phone and their purse. [...]

Clipping Coupons. Who’s Benefitting?

March 7, 2010 - 7:40 pm

Posted in Marketing | No comments

Given the current economic crisis, people are looking for ways to pinch pennies that they weren’t doing in the past few years. Coupons (like from ads placed in your local newspaper) seem to be clipped and collected from retailers much more often in recessions, and with the advances in technology “clipping coupons” is as easy [...]

Here we have just a little guy that puts me to shame on the ukulele and likely any other stringed instrument. I think I may have his singing and lyric remembering skills beat though.

You’ve got to admit this is pretty darn cute, even if he doesn’t know all but two words of the song. I [...]
