Consider your own industry in your own location. What can you do to bring Mardi Gras to your Web site and your physical location?
Here’s your challenge: think of a way or ways to bring Mardi Gras to your Web site and your physical location, and begin making plans NOW for next year.
Here are some questions you are probably asking yourself:
“I sell nuts and bolts in Indiana and on the Web. Mardi Gras has nothing to do with me. Why should I bother?”
You’re thinking too narrowly. Doesn’t everyone love a party? Does the party have to be in the South?
“I have an SEO company without a real physical location. This exercise is ridiculous.”
Start thinking with the right-side of your brain. Think about what Mardi Gras stands for–the last big “hooray” before Ash Wednesday begins and things get serious. What ideas pop into your head now? Write them down. Think about press releases, blog posts, and the publicity you can gain by whatever you do surrounding a Mardi Gras celebration.
“I sell children’s clothing online. Mardi Gras is for adults, so this won’t work for me.”
Does Mardi Gras have to be for adults? Who said? Children love Mardi Gras parades, masks, king cakes, beads, etc.
“I’d rather promote a local celebration rather than Mardi Gras. I think that would go over better for me.”
So do it! We don’t have any “boxes” on this site. You’re on your own with your own creativity.
Your Assignment:
Come up with an idea for your Web site/industry. If you can’t think of one, let me know your industry and I’ll brainstorm with you. Let’s have fun with this one.
