Why "BigMikan"?The mikan is a very unique Japanese citrus that combines the best characteristics of the orange and tangerine with a sweetness that has to be tasted to be believed.BigMikan Productions tries to embody the same cross cultural principles in everything we do. We combine the best of both worlds to create new value for our customers. We strongly believe that the merger of two distinct cultures should result in "doubles", not "halves". |

Audio Websites and PodcastsTo demonstrate how effective the use of audio with websites can be, we have started to publish all of the posts on our Favorite Quotes blog with audio commentary to complement and enhance the text. The results have been surprisingly positive - much more than we ever imagined. The combination of audio and text really improves the overall website impression, and firmly anchors it in the visitor's mind.Once your website is setup to handle audio clips, it's easy to start publishing a regular podcast to get your audio content to the listening audience. In addition to the increased exposure for your website, podcasting offers a lot of other benefits. For example, with a podcast you can immediately tell how many people are actually taking the time to download your content. You can experiment with different formats and find out with days what works, and what doesn't. If you would like to add audio content to your website, please feel free to contact BigMikan for more information. |
About UsBigMikan Productions specializes in the development of cross-cultural marketing strategies and website design. The majority of our clients are either Japanese companies that sell to the foreign community in Japan, or foreign companies selling to targeted Japanese markets.Our approach is very direct and pragmatic. We believe in results, not 'flash and trash.' In our opinion, the only reason for a marketing strategy or website to exist is to generate sales for the client. We work closely with our clients to map out and implement effective strategies that produce results. |
Flash & Trash?We happen to like the use of Flash animations in websites. It can be very striking, and often leaves a lasting impression with the client. Unfortunately, many web designers use Flash purely to impress the client rather than designing the most effective website for the client's business.If you are promoting a new blockbuster movie, animation, or the latest video game, then Flash is definitely the way to go. On the other hand, if you are selling a commodity product in a highly competitive market, an elaborate Flash animation can be a major distraction. You have to ask yourself if you really want your customer sitting there, watching a 30 second commercial everytime they visit your site. Or would it be more effective to connect them as quickly and simply as possible to the product or service they are looking for. Flash, used effectively, can be a tremendous asset to your website. Used ineffectively, it can become a major distraction that irritates customers and loses sales. That's when Flash becomes Trash. :::
