Here are six simple steps without spending a single dime!

  1. Give your brand an easy and pronounceable name.

    Something like Kate & William would be easy, maybe too easy. Dolce & Gabbana would probably see people garbling up and just going with D&G. Settle for something like Kate Spade.

  2. Get an up and coming politician to pose with a renowned item from your product line.

  3. Watch as the local media covers her as she turns into an overnight sensation after her appointment is announced.
  4. Wait and eventually other local celebrities would want to grab a share of the limelight by beginning to mimick her.
  5. Ignoring whether it’s real love or true hate, watch as she eventually has fans who proclaim they LOVE her, and even start mimicking her poses, albeit with pirated versions of your bags.
  6. You know you’ve made it when people start chanting your brand in the public, all these without spending a single cent!

Do a commercial, but with what the Japanese love.

Fox’s musical drama Glee was to air in Japan on February 7, and to entice fans to watch the series, Fox Japan created this wonderful & hilarious musical teaser that features, yes, breakout a cappella song “Don’t Stop Believing”, but the best bit – sumo wrestlers! And they certainly plumped for one with weight – retired sumo superstar Akebono Taro.

About Akebono Tarō
Akebono Tarō (曙太郎, Akebono Tarō, born May 8, 1969 as Chad Haakeo Rowan) is a retired sumo wrestler from Waimānalo, Hawaiʻi. Joining the professional sport in Japan in 1988, he was trained by pioneering Hawaiian sumo wrestler Takamiyama and rose swiftly up the rankings, reaching the top division in 1990. After two consecutive yusho or tournament championships in November 1992 and January 1993 he made history by becoming the first foreign born wrestler ever to reach yokozuna, the highest rank in sumo.

About Glee
Glee is an American musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States. It focuses on a high school show choir (also known as a glee club), called “New Directions!”, set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. The show was 1st broadcast in the U.S. on September 9, 2009, before getting a full-season pick-up on September 21, 2009. Glee aired its mid-season finale on December 9, 2009 and is currently on a 4-month hiatus before returning on April 13, 2010 with the remaining 9 episodes of the season. Glee has been renewed for a second season.

I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”

Well, a fan’s action laid testament to how true that quote was as he queued for tickets to Southampton’s FA Cup fifth-round match against Portsmouth.

He was queuing outside Southampton’s stadium, St. Mary’s on Wednesday night when his expectant partner went into labour there and then (!)

Husband pulls out a mobile phone from his pocket and did what Shankly would have been proud of – he found someone to accompany his wife to the maternity ward.

No bets on the baby being called Mary then.

“You eat the less now, you eat the more later”

Moi: “What kind of english is that man?!”

Angela – almost rolls off her chair … I think

Wee Wee – continues eating …

I am filing a copyright on that quote on his behalf.

This is part 2 of my Taiwan escapade. Riveting? Just about.
