other service newsgroup, accessible via Google Groups Pick a product or service that you are interested in as a consumer Find a “thread” (conversation) about that product or service and
participate in it, by posting. One way to do this is by STARTING a thread.
Deliverable:
1.5 pages, single spaced, bolded headings, cover sheet Newsgroup Name As a Consumer: What DID YOU Learn About the Product/Service? As a Marketer: What Are Some Implications of this Thread? Word of Net vs. Word of Mouth Also include copy of the thread posts and the chronological summary

Promotion is a communication process consisting of advertising, publicity, sales promotion, and salesmanship.

The AIDA model AIDA model is a framework for understanding how
hypermedia can be used to reach promotional goals. The AIDA process indicates that:
First the attention of the target audience must be gained Then interest created in the product or service Desire generated Action taken by the targeted audience.
The AIDA process is based on attitude models in which: The audience first thinks about an object (cognition) Develops feelings (affect) Engages in some type of behavior (conation).
34
Gaining Attention
Traditional media gain attention by designing messages with enough impact to gain and hold the audience or the message can be repeated numerous times.
A Web site differs from traditional media in that the receiver must actually use the Internet to link to Web page content.
An individual will not be exposed to the message unless they participate in some active measure to view a Web site.
