( JAMAICA) Digicel typically has many promotions and competitions to win things running at the same time. They usually promote it through the traditional media, on their website and also by sending a text message to you making you aware of the competition, if you are a prepaid customer when you check your credit status they tag it to the text message that comes back to you with the dollar value of credit left on your phone or if you call their customer service you hear the audio promotion before you are put through to an operator.

I saw the Google ad and I clicked. When I landed on the site’s homepage, I was stunned. The Jamaican-based coffee company Wallenfordblue dropped me off a cliff with what is in essence an awful site. Come on wallenfordblue.com, I just think if you’re selling a premium product then your website oughta reflect that. It irks me even more since this is the brand I often buy to take to friends in the United States, so if they went to replenish their coffee supplies in between my visits they’d surely be scared off by this site.

Some businesses are asking what’s the use in setting up a Website when everybody’s on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter? Why not just set up a Facebook or MySpace page and use that as a business Web address? After all, on any given day there are up to 110 million people on either Facebook or MySpace building trustworthy relationships–why not stay there instead of trying to lure them to your own Website? While it seems as if these folks are just creating customer profiles and waiting for smart marketers to present products and services which can be peddled in those networks outfitted with the necessary e-commerce and communication tools, taking this position is like saying its wiser to live in a hot new nightclub than to get your own home.

Entrepreneurs that dream big know that having a Website is not enough to get your brand and ideas out there. If your product is as vital as say… food, medicine or a tourist destination, you might want to add to your to-do list a strategy to go international by obtaining one or more ccTLDs- country-coded domains assigned to other independent countries (e.g. Jamaica uses .jm, and the UK uses .uk.)
