A good marketing strategy is key to bringing success to the movie aside from the good story line. It’s a way to maximize target audience attendance, especially during the early release cycle. There are a number promotional techniques being used to promote new movies and strengthen sales. Below is a quick summary of each technique with some examples.

As a start there would be a teaser poster attempting to tease the audience with the movie’s plot and advertise when the movie is starting. Next comes the theatrical poster.

Following the post just released on KiwiPulse.com showing the soon-to-be former president with many memorable face expressions during his presidency, I though it would be a good idea to compile a collection of Georgie in the advertising world. After all, George W. Bush is one of the most popular figures in our time with his familiar face being in numerous advertisements all over the world.

I feel very lucky to be in a country where food are abundance and we are not suffering from hunger. I can’t imagine my whole day trying to find food to survive. For some people in the world it’s a daily challenge. The sensation of hunger typically begins after a couple of hours without eating and is generally quite uncomfortable. Can you believe that the average person suffering from hunger can survive weeks without food intake. For example the magician David Blaine survived 44 days without food, losing one quarter of his body weight, but keeping a healthy body mass index.

In 1976 obese people were put on an experimental starvation diet, with absolutely no food, for 40 days and none of them had any trouble surviving. The result was that people can last much longer without eating than without drinking. It also depends on the initial body condition: a weak elderly person or thin young person might not be able to go very long without food. Without water anyone will run into problems pretty quickly. Their blood volume will shrink and their water and electrolyte balance will be upset. Eventually the body will just go into shock. :roll:
