Sensational-?

#1 Post by Shuz » Mon Jan 14, 2008 11:46 am

I have noticed that this website has a greater focus on regional developments, and will do so with the mining boom in foresight. I feel that the Sensational-Adelaide name is a misleading interpretation of SA as a city-state, and that it should be promoted to emcompass the broader populace of SA and not just the citizens of Adelaide (who, yes do make up 1.2m of the states 1.5m population)

Thus I suggest the website should be renamed simply to Sensational-SA?

Thoughts?

Our main focus is still the overall Adelaide developments itself, so I say we keep it, although there is a seperate section for regional developments.

Thanks for bringing that to our awareness though.

I hear what you're saying Shuz. The focus has primarily been on our capital in the past, and I think it will be for a long time as we need to keep the focus on creating a bigger and better capital city - a capital that people interstate will think hey I wouldn't mind moving down to Adelaide to work/live, and young people will say hey I'll stay in Adelaide as I reckon it has a bright future.

That's still the primary goal of our site, to highlight the best Adelaide has to offer people - whilst not trying to do too much else and diluting the message we're trying to get across.

Sensational-SA does not roll off the tongue as nicely as Sensational-Adelaide, but additionally we primarily focus on the city, so with this in mind I think a change of name is not warranted.

Personally, I prefer Sensational-Adelaide, I'm much more of a city-state advocate, but I was just curious to know how others would take to the response.

for me i vote for keeping it as is..Sensational-Adelaide


However, we can play on words or in this case characters and highlight the S in Sensational and the A in Adelaide. To many it wont be noticed but subliminally (if im using the right term) the SA will stand out. Therefore killing two birds with the one stone

Subliminal techniques are a very effective way of promoting a marketable product, and this website could benefit greatly from that using the principle Steleras has mentioned. I favour his idea.

so who's going to design the official S-A tshirt? should contain the Logo, web url, and an elevator pitch
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I like the name Sensational-Adelaide, caus if you highlight and enlargen the letters S and A, it stands for South Australia also :)
