I particularly like the Where Am I Button - helps everyone know they are in South Walton - To each, your beach

5-0 Vote

Why does that not suprise me? RINOS all.:angry:

Did anyone on the BCC have the good sense to vote against this? Or did they all go along? Anyone who voted for this fiasco should do the decent thing and resign.

Not only did no one have the sense to vote against it, there was no time offered to the audience to discuss it. They passed it before anyone knew what was happening. I realize it wasn't a public hearing but....chezzz.

Did they propose a new safety campaign too? I've heard they aren't running the 'know before you go' ads because they are waiting for the advertising agency to come up with a new one.

I'd like to see full presentation documents. Now I realize that I should be chastised like a 7 year-old for not attending prior meetings, but since my time machine is on the fritz perhaps SJ could point us in that direction? I feel like he's playing lifeguard while holding the swimmers under the water with the rescue pole.

Not everyone can attend every single meeting for every single thing - that's why we hire/elect people and pay them $$ to oversee these things and to be the oversight for these things.

Lately, I want a refund.

I have obtained a off copy of the entire lkm presentation. It is over 24MB in size. No way to upload it to Sowal.

Looking for someone to host a file of that size that is willing to absorb the required bandwidth and storage.

Can you compress it? :idontno:

It's probably PDF so already compressed.

$1.3 million for vague clip art and bad grammar. :clap:

I also wonder if any others in the community have any comments on what would be a good selling price. :idontno:

You would think they would get this sort of thing worked out in advance. I have owned that domain since 1997 and have had more calls about it starting about 90 days ago then anything you could imagine. What I have been offered before this happened would barely cover my expenses all these years.

Fixed it, the link was pasted wrong.

Bob was also able to shrink it to 1.9MB for all the dial-up/phone users.

Darn, I could have provided this and charged alot less than 1.3 mill. Can anyone say SUCKER.:roll:

Per BR's link I got it - Bob's posted photos were actually far better than the actual product.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

Luggage falling off an SUV? That's how we want to position ourselves in peoples' minds? As the crap that falls off as they accelerate to leave?

28 pages and only one picture of the beach - reused several times.

Money well spent. :sarc: Look at the presentation. Each page is $46K - well above the average yearly income for a Walton resident. Am I being overly harsh?

Is there a high school graphics/art/media class that we could have take a stab at it? How cool would that be for the Sowal kids to design ads and commercials and then get to see them?

I realize a power point of a marketing presentation is only part of the presentation. Usually there's a lot of talking by a charismatic sales person and details come across that aren't in the hard copy of the presentation. However, even given that, this seems pretty light weight.

There are a couple of big questions:

1) One of the stated goals is to "Drive qualified traffic to BSW.com and
partner landing pages. The big question related to this is -- in any of their workshops, did they address the the fact that the current BSW.com web site is mediocre as an area marketing tool, and is any part of the 1.3 Million budget going to overhauling or redesigning that site? Or is that going to be extra money? If not, what are any people that they drive to the current site supposed to do once they get there?

2) Where's the social networking material?

There's no mention of social networking or any planned use of it in as a mechanism to capitalize on those 49 percent of the people that actually know where they are. Why not? There's this thing called facebook that I've heard is a pretty big thing nowadays. Not sure how to use that myself, but I'd hope that a modern advertising firm would have a good idea on how to work that into a marketing campaign. All I see are the old standards -- print, broadcast, plus "mobile" thrown in. No real web/social networking strategy.
