10 reasons not to use WordPress

Image
The first time I made a website was in 1998, 24 years ago,  for an advertising agency in Madrid where I was working at the time, at a time when only a few knew what a website was. Some of those you spoke to wondered why they needed one, a web-page, when you had to do a magic ritual just to connect to the internet and to access most websites of the time. You had to wait several minutes in front of the screen and you had time to smoke a couple of cigarettes until you could access the contents and UX and UI concepts did not exist yet but a good website was just summed up as "good design". Perhaps for reasons like these, I am in favor of making websites optimized in every way. I like to make the code for each website , and customize it for each client, “ from zero to hero ”. because each client is different and that has to be reflected on the website of each company, the unique personality of the brand. I believe that the web is a window to your company , a window that, thanks ...

The potential of the Hispanic market for Taiwan

Image
Most Taiwanese companies are focused on the APAC, US, and European markets, forgetting the potential of the Spanish-speaking market, both in Spain and Hispanoamerica.  It is a market of more than 680.000.000 million people. Taiwanese companies are struggling in markets where competition is fierce, leaving the Hispanic regions as a niche market for only a few that have recognized the sales opportunity in a potential market.  It is a niche, yes, but a huge niche market as we will see below that most are unaware of. In spite of being a market of great potential, it is a great unknown for most Taiwanese companies, probably due to factors such as lack of knowledge of the Spanish language, lack of knowledge of the culture, or a totally wrong image of poverty in regions that have a nominal GDP of more than 1,2 billion USD as we can see in the graph below. Sectors such as livestock, agriculture, mining, oil, gas, and tourism, among others, are capable of absorbing the export of Made i...

Nike Air Jordan 1. How to make a marketing strategy?

Image
At Christmas 1987, my brother told me that my gift was a pair of Air Jordan 1 Banned, but was so sad when I discovered that they were not sneakers, was a television, and the Air Jordan went from being an object of desire to become a kind of obsession that lasts me until today as if it were a religion. The biggest challenge for a brand, for an industrial designer, for the marketing team and all the departments behind it, is to create a product that becomes an object of desire, a product that drives the masses crazy and is capable of becoming a cult object, something that can border on the sacred for the most enthusiastic of the brand, an icon. Nike achieved it many years ago, thanks to Peter Moore and many other factors that I will tell you about here today, and today this pair of sneakers is more latent than ever, influencers from all over the planet wear their pair of Nike Air Jordan 1, by social media as a must-have, without your pair of Nike Air Jordan 1, you're out, you're ...
