Custom Balloons

Having custom balloons designed is a great way of luring people to what you are selling.

People need to really “See”

People today are so busy with their lives that even though they may see or hear ads, they are not really seeing or hearing them. You can’t blame them for this because this is how life has become. Life is so hectic and fast paced that hardly anyone at all has the time to see or listen to ads.

Also, the number of ads being aired is so vast, people get bugged and thus, they tend to hit some kind of a mental “turn off” button when an ad appears. In such circumstances it becomes real tough to get the attention of people, to the product or service that you are selling.

So what do you do to make people “See”?

What then can an advertiser do to make people actually see their products and services? An ideal way of getting people to sit up and take notice of almost any kind of product or service is by making use of gigantic advertising balloons.

These custom balloons are really great in getting the attention of people and the best part about these balloons is that they come in various sizes, shapes and colors and they can also be custom made to meet your business needs.

Custom balloons attract a lot of attention

You can make these balloons custom imprinted so that they are absolutely unique and even if there are other balloons around, people will notice your advertising balloon just because it stands out from the rest of the balloons that may be there.

OSCON 2011, an O’Reilly conference on Open Source, was held in Portland this week. The event brought a plethora of Open Source advocates to the city, including a sizable contingent from Rackspace in San Antonio.

Cloud Evangelist, Matt Wilbanks, made the trip and he took time from his conference schedule to explain how and why Rackspace appeals to and benefits the ad agency market. One of the biggest features of running a promotion in the cloud is cost. Wilbanks said dedicated servers might run a company $10K to $15K, where a cloud solution may only cost $150/month. Thanks to the ability to quickly scale in the cloud, a company doesn’t pay for wasted resources.

I asked Wilbanks about the biggest resistance he faces when pitching cloud. He said, “giving up control.” People, particularly people with titles like Directors of Technology, don’t like it when they can’t “reach out and touch the box,” said Wilbanks. Rackspace overcomes these objections by offering a “fanatical level of support.”

“Rackspace is not cheap,” Wilbanks said. “But we provide support that others do not.”

Which may explain why Rackspace has a new deal with Omnicom and a history of success working with GSD+M and others in the agency space.

Wilbanks also said the company’s “Open Stack” initiative is celebrating its one-year anniversary. With Open Stack–where Rackspace is freely providing its framework for all to see, learn from and share–a company can build their own cloud internally. Before Open Stack, Wilbanks explained, it would be difficult for a company to develop in the cloud and then bring the project back inside (for regulatory or client-based reasons).

I asked him why giving away “the store” makes business sense for Rackspace. Wilbanks said, “Fanatical support is our specialty and the reason why clients come to us.” In other words, the magic is not in the servers, it’s in the service. “Anybody can rent some servers,” he reasoned, but managed services is a different game.

How do brands, and their agencies, tame the social media marketing beast? If they’re smart, they get help managing a process that is growing increasingly complex by the day.

One company publishers and brands turn to is Gigya, a venture backed Silicon Valley-based company started by a team of Israeli technologists in 2006. Gigya helps companies make their websites and mobile sites/apps more social by offering a set of plugins that enable social login, sharing, engagement and game mechanics.

Rachel Berkowitz, from Gigya’s Business Development team gave me a guided tour of the company’s software as a service offering this morning. “Our software turns users into brand advocates,” she explained.

On average, people have 25 social accounts and six passwords, so asking them to “get social” inside a brand or media site has to be a flawless one- or two-click process.

“The feed has become the new portal,” said Berkowitz.

Like SEO, it’s now incumbent upon site managers to optimize for social, especially since 25% of online activity is now social. It can be managed on an ad hoc basis, but the costs (and the headaches) can be enormous. “A single API update is a complicated process and they’re often updated monthly,” Berkowitz said.

“Gigya’s software is the result of thousands of hours of development time.”

Berkowitz said Gigya doesn’t list its pricing on the site, because it can be highly variable, depending on a particular client’s needs. She did say packages including social login and sharing start at $20,000/year.

To see Gigya’s software in action on a live site, visit ShoeBecca or GoodSearch. Both plan to add a Gigya-enabled game layer in coming weeks.
