How many friends on facebook, how much feedback stars on eBay and TradeMe and now the famous Twitter &#8211; how many followers do you have? BTW &#8211; <a title='Original Link: https://twitter.com/undergrounddsgn'  href="http://www.undergrounddesign.co.nz/?cnu3g4i5" target="_blank">Follow us on twitter</a>.</p>
<p>Anyway where was I&#8230; Underground Design specialise in making business popular on the internet, we call it web marketing, basically giving your business friends and supporters which eventually result in an<del datetime="2009-06-19T08:41:20+00:00"> unbelievably HUGE</del> increase in sales.</p>
<p>So the latest popularity conquest was the &#8220;Scary Washing Machine&#8221; which was only worth something if the owner actually paid you to take it away. However with some cleaver wording he was able to get $5,160 for this washing machine. <a title='Original Link: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Laundry/Washing-machines/Top-loader-6kg-under/auction-223309871.htm'  href="http://www.undergrounddesign.co.nz/?rcRB2MCC" target="_blank">Check it out here.</a><br />
This just proves the difference in just selling products to giving an end user the feeling that this product will better them in some way&#8230;. In this case popularity.<br />
