20. Online Game

What it is:

An online web game like any other - except it's branded. By you.


A cool tool for:

  • Targeting young audiences
  • Encouraging repeat Web visits
  • Fun and/or entertaining, B2C businesses

 

Not so hot for:

  • Projecting a "serious" image
  • Companies without (or unwilling to outsource) development resources
  • Products or services difficult to package as "fun"
