For developer, creativity is in the cards

When Scott Silver saw a postcard for his South Miami office development hanging behind the bar at a local bistro several years ago, he knew his marketing campaign was a success. So he decided to try it again.

This month, Silver mailed the last of three postcards promoting 2222 Biscayne, his new office development north of Miami's downtown district.

That a developer did a postcard mailing for a new project is nothing new; targeting residents and businesses surrounding a project is key to finding new tenants. What's unique is Silver's postcards themselves. The image hanging in the bar was of a Boston terrier, promoting his then-new Palmetto Bay Village Center, a new office complex housed in the old Burger King headquarters.

The new 2222 campaign includes die-cut images of a parking meter, a goldfish and a selection of desserts.

RFID technologies duke it out

And you thought the fight over radio frequency identification technology was all about whether Big Brother would be able to track unsuspecting individuals as they go about their daily lives. In some corners it’s still about that, but RFID has matured to the point where debates have more to do with what kind of RFID is appropriate for government applications than whether it’s appropriate at all.

This summer, a congressional conference committee wrestled over two incompatible types of radio frequency identification technology proposed for the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a joint border-control project of the Homeland Security and State departments [for more about WHTI, see GCN.com, Quickfind 669].

Essentially, they’re fighting over slices of the electromagnetic spectrum.
