TASK:
Now that you have built and tested your website, I would like you to market it. Let’s say that your budget is NOK 10 000 (or 1800 $ US). Please do the following:
- Do some research on what advertising costs. You could for instance contact your local newspaper, print shop and other websites.
- Make a detailed list of how you would market your website. Remember to keep your budget in mind.
- What if you had double the budget? Come up with a second marketing strategy, this time with NOK 20 000 at your disposal. (3600 $ US)
- Come up with a viral idea. It doesn’t have to be a video; it can be guys dancing at the airport in gorilla suits. You can use ANYTHING that is at your disposal. Be creative!
