The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

Since The Hunger Games came out this weekend I figured I would blog about it since I am one of many who not only loved the book but really enjoyed the movie as well.  Movies advertise in many different types of ways from the moment they start to produce the movie until it is out on DVD.  I thought The Hunger Games advertised uniquely in one specific way.  Effie, one of the characters in the movie, wears a low priced nail polish throughout the movie.  As you can see in the attached article, Effie is a very unique character.  The producers figured this would be a good advertising technique because The Hunger Games is supposed to attracted all types of age groups.  When a young teen goes into a drug store and sees Effie advertised on the same nail polish they will not only recognize the movie but they will also be interested in the product.

Have you used Pinterest or have you heard anything about this newly advanced social media's website?  Pinterest, I believe, is another new way that companies can advertise through another form of social media.  I came across this article which shows several easy steps that businesses can take to advertise their products or services simply by "pinning" and having others "re-pin" on Pinterest.  I personally have a Pinterest and love it.  On many different occasions I come across a product on Pinterest that I really like.  I end up not only "re-pinning" that product so others can enjoy it but I then click on this product which most of the times brings you to the actual business website which from there you could purchase it.  This website is really cool and vastly growing.  I encourage everyone to check out this website especially if you own a business and would like yet another easy and cheap way to advertise your products or services.
