It's highly ironic, since most perfume lovers complain about the marketing going on in fragrance releases all the time, yet they're so quick to condemn a brand without a good marketing scheme! And yes, a good, practical website is part and parcel of efficient marketing.

First of all the site was badly designed and you had to open PDF versions of the booklets included in the packaging to get a clue of what the fragrances are about.

The tone of the piece sounded like he resigned to the fact that without enough agressive marketing even a worthwhile project (such as this one) is doomed to fail. I don't know, this is how I interpreted it. You think I'm too lax on him? <br /><br />It's rather sad, since it Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-2587024457974602832012-03-28T07:20:41.905+01:002012-03-28T07:20:41.905+01:00A,
