Description[edit]

Marketing is a very important topic and is seen everywhere you are. This WikiProject would cover marketing strategies, general marketing topics such as subliminal advertising and notable advertisements. Peter.C • talk 01:59, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Lame pun yes, but how do you plan on marketing this project? Have you considered strategic partnerships with other financial WikiProjects? Does your budget include signpost ads? They've become expensive as of late. What about the tight market for editors? Do you have a jingle? I want to hear that jingle! Sven Manguard Wha? 02:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking about linking it as a related project on WP:BUSINESS and other business orientated projects. I also would put a notice of it on the community portal. It would also be linked on Portal:Business and economics under related projects. And maybe if it gets big enough it could have its own portal. Peter.C • talk 02:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly think you'd be better off joining the existing WP:WikiProject Business. Small WikiProjects—and this appears to be small, both with respect to the number of people and the number of articles—usually fail within the year. Let me suggest that you go chat up the existing project, and see if you can convince them to collaborate on an article or two that interests you.
