Sean got the ball rolling with the 22 Immutable Laws of Word of Mouth, I threw in the 22 Immutable Laws of Blogging, and Tamera Kremer has followed up with the 22 Immutable Laws of Customer Engagement. Here’s my take on the 22 (somewhat) Immutable Laws of Buzz:
- Indie cred, commercial dead
- Feed your fans’ hunger for information
- Sponsor a “D” list celebrity event
- Promotions targeted to extreme niches
- Win their hearts: build credibility with new audiences
- Bright lights, big titties. Leverage celebrity connections. Or sex.
- A heavy ValPak buy. Just kidding.
- Hit the local social circuit - in outrageous clothing
- Lifestyle reporters: ten dollar words, ten cent facts
- Celebrity gifting: Local weathermen are surprisingly affordable
- Chase’s Calendar of Events: the art of piggybacking
- Car Accident or Sales Record: Just spell my name right
- Teen hits drive time > AOR hourly
- Community weeklies: filling news holes weekly
- When in doubt, let your publicist leak it out
- Post no bills: really, it’s just a suggestion
- Try local late night, the cpm is lower. (So is the return)
- Celebrity endorsements: there’s gold in the 1990 Fox television schedule
- Guerrilla marketing - at community soccer games
- Public Access Cable: the Dead Zone
- BOGO does not create buzz. Unless you’re a mortician
- All Hail Empress Oprah
Update: Bob at Flacklife has published his 22 somewhat immutable laws of evaluation.
