Alizee, give us the tools...

Do you sit around thinking about Alizee...I do. I enjoy the psychology of marketing and business, I like certain personalities, sociology...Alizee is all that wrapped up in one package. She is just SO intriguing.

Let's talk a bit about Shakira. I really like Shakira, I admire her, singing, writing, entertaining, humanitarian efforts....but...no intrigue. She just came out with a new thing called DUST. It does everything we all want to do for Alizee. It's nice that they have fun with it, talking about secret handshakes and joking along those lines. Well DUST takes you to fan manager, there you can find items to help support and promote Shakira. All different sized banners for her upcoming album, code is there to pick the one you like, copy and paste it on your site.
Here is a sample of what they have going on: "tools which will aid you in your quest to spread the word of Shakira and She Wolf around the world wide web. Grab the codes and stick them somewhere online (your Facebook, MySpace etc page might be a good place to start, but if you have access to the front page of Perez Hilton’s blog, that would be great too)."
"Once you have performed some DUST duties, you can report them to us here at DUST HQ. To do this, click the “Report Your Work” button above. You will be taken to a SECRET form, where you can upload your photos, report your work and earn points to win THINGS."

They are throwing some big boy money at that. Interesting to note that this is all for a new album coming out in October 2009, which the first single has already been released. Television appearances have already started, Oprah and the like. There is a store where you can buy clothing and you can also pre order the album.

I told you that story to get to this point. Alizee has a new album coming out about the same time...right. So...what are we expecting??? UH OH...is it hitting you yet...OH NO...hurry up, we better go get our reality hats...where is it, come on, where is it...oh yeah, we are Alizee fans, we don't have reality hats. Grab our brown paper bags...breath slowly, and another....(you know, I maybe able to market Alizee brown paper bags, they seem to be in demand)

Are you OK? Whether it is Jive, Sony, RCA, BMG, ABC OR XYZ does it matter? We know relatively nothing about the new album. They may have a slamming promotional coming up...who knows? All I am saying is be prepared. You may need to go to the big warehouse store and buy the economy case of paper bags!

Frankly, with me, I am just happy to have some new songs. Just love watching and waiting for her next move, that should be fun. In the mean time I am just trying to help the rest of you out...better start emailing Jive or whom ever...

I think it would be cool to have a banner available to post on websites. Just copy and paste the new Alizee promotional ad regarding the new album. HINT - we don't need to reinvent the wheel here!!!!

Alizee is all about the internet. Shakira I can catch on the television, on the radio, in papers and magazines...with Alizee, if it was not for the internet...I shudder to think. As Winston Churchill once said "Give us the tools" and the rest of the quote is "and we will finish the job"


Alizee promoters did you hear that? Give us "official" banners and we will post them. Have them available on a website that is already up, Alizee's official website, myspace...possibly different languages. We can have someone design them for free if you just tell us what you want them to say/promote. We are not even asking for TV appearances or even a concert, just let us do our thing!
As far as a concert...how about something like an 'internet concert'? one song, 'the' promotional song, now get this, live online from Alizee and Jeremy's home studio or record it and broadcast it at a specific time. How easy and how cool would that be. Have a 60 second tour of the studio too. Then post it on the official Alizee YouTube site.

So far here Alizee has not had to leave her home. Come on promotional guys...I'm just throwing out crazy ideas as I am typing and you're getting paid to do this. Someone think outside the box.

Help us help you (paraphrase Jerry Mcguire), help us, help YOU
