A lesson to learn from film makers

Written by Florie Lyn Masarate

Many advertisers should be able to learn a lesson or two from George Lucas and his team. When his movies first went out in repparttar

open, they used strategies in promoting them.. Stars guest in different television show and interviews were conducted. Excerpts from repparttar 147687

films were shown in television commercials, showing repparttar 147688

good bits and pieces of repparttar 147689

film. Just enough to puzzle repparttar 147690

puzzle and made them wonder what repparttar 147691

story is about. Reviews were made available in print in magazines and newspapers, telling not only positive but also negative points of repparttar 147692

movie and its casts. Whoever said that bad publicity is bad should try it out and see its result.

Not only that, they even turned to merchandising. Products like cereals and toys depicting repparttar 147693 characters in repparttar 147694 story were made available. There were even promos from other product endorsing their own and repparttar 147695 movie itself.

If all films, good or bad, should have repparttar 147696 proper publicity and its publicist, there will be numbers of people running to repparttar 147697 theaters to watch these movies. People tend to get carried away by promotions and advertisements rather easily. Not to mention repparttar 147698 fact that they see first then judge later.

Having repparttar 147699 right equipment in advertising is a must if endorsers want to attain more response from repparttar 147700 people.

Having as much television exposures are essential for people to be familiar not only with repparttar 147702 title but also with repparttar 147703 contents of repparttar 147704 film, enough to arouse curiosity. Media is also a good source of information not only about repparttar 147705 film but also repparttar 147706 production, repparttar 147707 essence and repparttar 147708 stars of repparttar 147709 film.
