Even if you’re on the Web 2.0 bandwagon, you’ll need to Build Your Brand. You could use advertising across mass media but that seems passé! Well then, lean on word-of-mouth, twitter or blog.
At a party last weekend, a friend introduced us to their just-developed travel website… HotGuzzi. A week down the road we toasted his success because the buzz is that hotel bookings through his website have started.

build Awareness about your brand
generate Interest
arouse Desire
call for Action
