Vegas Buzz

 

[LAS VEGAS - VEGAS BUZZ NEWS - JUNE 6, 2008 ] House of Hancock are experts at relationship marketing through MySpace.

 

Vegas Buzz News www.vegasbuzznews.com is known for search-optimized syndicated news and rich media content, notably radio and video.

 

The friends met through MySpace, and had their first meeting at Makino's Eastern location.*

 

While there are many other social networks, MySpace www.myspace.com was the first and is still the best, and most popular.  It was originally conceived as a way for small independent musical artists and bands to bypass the recording industry's stodgy bureaucracy and clubby insularity to reach potential fans and CD buyers directly.

 

Today, however, MySpace has gotten so large, a form of 'target marketing' has become necessary.

 

While many still think MySpace is 'for kids,' they are sadly and dramatically mistaken, and this is a classic example of how the 'conventional wisdom' is dead wrong.

 

Case in Point: The connection between Vegas Buzz News and House of Hancock was made through MySpace, but most likely would never have happened any other way, although the individuals involved all live in Las Vegas and are fairly known in their respective business networks.

 

"Contrary to popular opinion, over 40% of MySpace users are over 40," says Kerry Hancock Jr., President of House of Hancock www.houseofhancock.com .

 

That's a powerful demographic. It also includes a preponderance (50% +) of the coveted 17-34 demo most advertisers want, with the balance going to babyboomers.

 

The combination of news, video and relationship building can be a lethal combination, as Vegas Buzz has found out.  Vegas Buzz News was one of the first independent syndicated news services in Las Vegas to syndicate conventional and web radio together as well as develop new techniques to syndicate rich media content on the Web. It was also the first news service to support indie artists on MySpace, going back to 2005, the very beginning of MySpace, and hence, the MySpace "connection." 

 

The Group discussed:

 

Collaborating on a concert fundraiser to benefit IraqStar.org, an organization providing free reconstructive and cosmetic surgery to returning disfigured Iraq War Vets.

 

Monthly networking meetings on networking techniques, and providing a venue for MySpace Friends to meet and greet. (The intended venue of Choice: Makino's Las Vegas, the premier meeting place for the health-conscious and Japanese-prepared seafood lover crowd.*)  

 

A possible joint venture or spin-off enterprise.

 

Combining Search Engine Optimization techniques centering on the freshness and relevancy search engines such as Google demand.

 

"Building relationships on MySpace can be vital in developing serious business relationships,"  says Charles Savoie, Vice President, House of Hancock www.houseofhancock.com , when your friends have a need, they'll look to you first, because you've been there for them, even if it's only to say 'hi' from time to time."

 

"You're their friend, and the business will follow."

 

Quotable Quote:

 

"You can make more friends in 3 weeks showing an interest in people than you can in three years trying to get people interested in you." - Kerry Hancock, Jr., CEO, House of Hancock.
