Epicures Rejoice – UN Lifts Beluga Caviar Ban

THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS I MISS BEING VEGAN, THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CAVIAR TO ME


The world’s finest beluga caviar will be available once again following an agreement by five producer countries on export quotas for the luxe delicacy, the United Nations‘ watchdog on endangered specieshas announced. Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan agreed at a meeting in Tehran on new quotas which will be in effect through February 2011, the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species said in a statement. A temporary ban on wild caviar was imposed in 2001 due to a depletion of stocks amid high levels of poaching and illegal trade in theCaspian Sea. In 2002, countries sharing a stock of sturgeon automatically had zero quotas unless they reached a consensus on a sustainable level of exports. Trade in beluga was halted last year as the countries failed to agree on quotas. Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan still have zero quotas, but Iran can now produce 800 kg, Kazakhstan 1,500 kg, and Russia 700 kg. Expect it to cost a small fortune if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on some.

    ADDITIONAL DONDRIA MARKETING IDEAS

    -DURING THE LIVE MARKETING MEETINGS VIA USTREAM

    1- CONTACT USTREAM TO LET THERE FOLLOWERS(1.5MILL) KNOW WHEN YOU GO LIVE

    2- SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP DONDRIA TREND IS WHEN YOU GO LIVE HAVE A SECTION ABOVE IN THE (BLOG,YOUTUBE,MERCHANDISE,DONDRIA,OCEANS’7,EXCLUSIVE) OPTIONS AS SOSODEFTV THAT DIRECTLY LINKS TO YOUR USRTEAM CHANNEL BUT PEOPLE CAN ONLY VIEW IT BY SIGNING IN VIA TWITTER & HAVE IT AUTOMATICALLY POST #SOSODEF #DONDRIAVSPHATFFFAT MARKETING MEETING JUST LIKE IT IS WHEN VIEWING THE “I NEED A GIRL” VIDEO IN THE EXCLUSIVE SECTION

    3-FANS CAN POST THEIR FAVOURITE LYRICS FROM DONDRIA SONGS FROM THE ALBUM OR MIXTAPE & HASTAG #DONDRIAVSPHATFFFAT EXAMPLE- I DREAM ABOUT YOU WHEN I SLEEP #DONDRIAVSPHATFFFAT

    4-ALL LIFERS GET DONDRIA’S VIDEO TO #1 THIS WEEK ON 106&PARK & SHE WILL GO ON TO PERFORM IT LIVE & SHECAN TREND WORLDWIDE LIKE SHE DID LAST TIME SHE WAS ON

    5-THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TWITTER BUT JD IF YOU CAN HAVE AN INTERVIEW ON FUSE LIKE DIDDY, 50, GAGA & THE REST HAVE HAD TALKING ABOUT THE NEW LOOK SOSODEF & OFCOURSE DONDRIA

    6-FROM NOW ON TILL THE ALBUM COMES OUT HAVE THE DONDRIA ALBUM SAMPLER AS THE FIRST POST ON THE SITE LIKE YOU DID WHEN THE “YOU’RE THE ONE”VIDEO WAS RELEASED & YOU KEPT IT UP FOR A WEEK

    RESPONSE TO TEAM DONDRIA POST

    KEY WORDS- TWITTER MARKETING(AKA-VIRAL MARKETING)

    1- Do TWITTER INTERVIEWS with bloggers like NECOLE BITCHIE(over 100K followers) Directly connects with her fan base

    2- Have TWITTER Chats with hear TOUR PARTNERS TREY SONGZ(Over 800K Followers) & MONICA(oVER 300K Followers) even if they are CALCULATED CHATS about the upcoming tour

    3- HAVE HER(DONDRIA) CONSULT WITH KERI HILSON(Over 670K followers) VIA TWITTER ABOUT being a new female artist & kind of ask for ADVISE

    4-PROFILE PICS- Like you said get as many people(Dondria & Your Fans) change there AVATARS to the album cover

    5- VIRAL OUTLETS- Since this is basically a viral marketing campaign, Utilize all outlets such as FaceBook, Myspace & Youtube9All should have her ALBUM COVER AS THERE PROFILE PICTURES, INCLUDING YOUR(JD) MYSPACE PAGE) if not Everyday Every other day with constant updates

    6- Streamline all Dondria tagged postings here on global14 under the Dondria section on the header where you find the mixtape coz essentially Dondria doesnt have a website & if people come to global14 all they will find is the mixtape

    7-Dondria LTL- Youtube Video Countdown with her interacting with fans during her different promotional shows & travels like Keri did before her album came out

    8- The global 14 upper header shouls be dondria album cover also stating the release day of the album 8/17/10

    9-Dondria trending- Since she’s a new artist that his not as big as a Justin bieber, provide an incentive for fans to talk about her album every day like you did by saying you would follow them if they changed their avatars to the album cover, create something like a Team Dondria Vs Team Phatfffat on twitter & random fans will be picked on twitter every day for meet & greets during the tour

    10- At the end of the day its all about creating fans interest in Dondria’s music & informing them on the release date of the “Dondria Vs Phattffatt” & most of all for them to but the record when it comes out 8/17/10.This is just a start to generate your interest in my ideas so we can work together, like i’ve mentioned before Most artists don’t fail coz of lack of good music (Example R.Kelly) but because of poor strategic marketing ideas & execution… I can add more ideas for Dondria, Johnta, & the rest of the SoSoDef Camp

    LIFERS if you like my ideas hit up JD on twitter @LTLline & tell him to hire me…
