Rain, rain, go away… There is way too much rain in the forecast for the next 4 days. I think that our April showers have arrived a little bit early. I have been reminded to be thankful that it is not that nasty 4-letter word “SNOW”. It is always a little hard to think when the weather is gray. I already miss the beautiful sunshine that we have enjoyed for the past few days. But, there are tasks piling up on my desk as I try to concentrate on the updates to one of our medical websites that is changing with the times, then on to a bit of optimization work with my super-busy, super Search Engine Optimization specialist, add some new keyword rich content from our SEO copywriters to a jewelry site, and even more additions to our own DDA portfolio that is ever growing and changing. Maybe I’ll check out the new umbrellas that our graphic designers here have created, that could go a long way to making me smile in the rain.

The Internet spawned the creation of YouTube and similar websites. These have allowed for anyone to post their original content for the world to see. So the wise-minded television people have taken advantage of this phenomenon and created funny shows with dirt cheap budgets. I am referring to things such as Web Soup and Tosh.O. Frankly I find Tosh.O to be extremely superior to its Web Soup counterpart because of the difference in hosts. Chris Hardwick is hardly funny, but I don’t know whether to blame his writers or his delivery. I find Daniel Tosh to be a much better host and he doesn’t cease to crack me up. He’s got an arrogance about him and doesn’t shy away from making fun of any subject. If you haven’t seen it yet, there is a new episode on tonight on Comedy Central around 10 or 10:30. Check it out and get your giggles.
Television has plenty of ways to make cheap shows that they have been doing for years. First was game shows, then reality shows, and now web clip shows. As long as it’s a hit they will still get the same ratings and television advertising money. I don’t think web clip shows can take on too many more forms, but they are fun. They find the good stuff and show it to me. I barely ever go on YouTube anymore to find stuff on my own. Everything I would want to see is thrown at me in other ways anyway. Be it on TV, Facebook, or just emails with links, I will probably see it.
We can and have made YouTube knock-offs of our own here. We made one site for a client where users could upload videos of their sports highlights for recruiters to see. We made another for users to submit PG-13 rated strip teases for a contest on a condom website. We have the advanced programming experience, website design experience, and videography experience to make these sites a reality for anyone. So anyone at any point who needs some sort of video submission and playback functionality for their company website can come to us to get that done.

Now, first, I want to say that I’m not endorsing threats, I’m just about to relay a tale of a strategy that recently worked for me. It began a couple of weeks ago when a new chapter opened in the saga that’s been the college search for my younger sister. My sister still has not received a letter from one of her favored schools, so finally, my mother called to check on it. I’ll speed this up a bit. They have not reviewed her application and are now saying she won’t know until the end of the month. Let’s fast forward a bit more to the part where my younger sister had no idea when she had to give her acceptance to the other favored school to which she’s already been accepted. Nearly a week later, she still had no clue.
So, I proposed this to my mother and asked her to pass it on: “I will follow her around for two days, including at work and school, and ask her every 20 seconds when she has to accept by. I will be wearing bright orange stretch pants and a shirt that’s been bedazzled while doing this.”
Now I’m not a mean person, but I am a person who likes to get things done. An hour later my sister called excited and upbeat to ask me if I was free in April for an acceptance luncheon. Suddenly, she knew the date. Coincidence?
Again, not endorsing threats, I’m just saying that when you want to get results you need to put a strategic plan in place to make sure you get them. First, establish goals. Second, know your target audience. Third, determine the method that will help you best reach your established goals.
At DDA, we offer website design and development, video production, 2D and 3D animation, custom programming, illustration, and so more, so you’re able to reach out to your target audience in the way that’s best for them. You don’t have to fit your needs into some cookie-cutter shape or template box. We mold our services around you.
So, whether it’s medical marketing and healthcare communications or corporate advertising you need, DDA can help. And, we don’t even have to result to threats.
…though, I’m pretty good at it…I’m just saying…
