This has to be the best 2011 calendar in India

Posted on January 8, 2011 by prasanth

This calendar was sent to me by Indian Mouth & Foot Painting Artists (IMFPA). It has very beautiful paintings done by foot and mouth by some disabled artists in India. So by buying this calendar you will be helping them. What a nice way to start the new year 2011.

But that is not the reason why its the best calendar in India for 2011. It has a very special feature that makes it unique.

Once each month finishes you can tear the numbers off and send the photo as a post card. How cool is that, why haven’t other calendar makers thought of this.

That way you will be using the calendar even after its use is finished, how cool is that. It also has some very beautiful painting, see some of them below.

They are charging Rs. 395 for this calendar. So for a 12 month table calendar which can be turned into 12 greetings you only pay Rs. 395. Which i think is a bargain and you are also helping people make a decent living.

So go get your calendar here. I payed for mine and can’t wait for the month to end. So that i can use the postcard. These calendars will be my yearly calendars from now on.

How nice would it have been if Kingfisher calendars were used for doing some good in India. Can you imagine the money they could get for the needy.

Google’s interesting way to market a new product

Posted on September 2, 2008 by prasanth

 googlechromecomic

Apple does how to videos to market their products. Google did a comic to market their new browser project called Google Chrome.

The comic has helped so much in giving all the details about the project. Why it will be a better browser than all the other out there.

And also why they are doing the way they are doing it.

Unlike Apple which tries to hide all the people who design and develop these products. Google puts all of them in their comic as characters explaining the product.

Special mention has to be given to the artist Scott McCloud who didn’t do a boring corporative presentation. Instead he did a wonderful comic with nice illustrations. I think no one could have explained a browser so interestingly. And he uses no color in the comic which is another compliment to him.

Google know the web and the people who use it. Geek’s love comics so it was a perfect blend. Hope many companies will adapt such marketing strategies so that we can better understand their reason for doing the way they are doing it.

If nothing we will get few free comics to read.
