Best of Austin Poll Thoughts

Awesome! A day after Tiziano sent out the Cat Drinking Tails newsletter, "Wild Kitty" is winning in the Battle of the Bands. Yay! Thank you all for voting. Voting ends July 1st. So looks like we've a good shot at winning this round. Hopefully, I'm doing as well in the Best of Austin Poll.

It's a funny thing about polls. I'd love to see the number of folks who actually vote in those things. From what I gather, it doesn't really take that many votes to really make a difference. I don't know how many that is, mind you, but I don't think it takes much considering the size of things.

Take for instance the Austin Music Poll. This year, the Brobdingnagian Bards did really well. With a lot of steadfast promotion, we were able to win Best Performing Novelty Band. In the Live Music Capitol of the World, that's no easy task. And yet considering the number of people who could and did vote, the number is miniscule. So a strong promotional effort makes a huge difference.

I don't know as much about the Best of Austin Awards. I don't know how many businesses or people actually campaign for votes. I've only seen minor campaigning from a few individuals, which means the ability to do really well with campaigning *should* yield a great response. If everyone on my newsletters took a moment to Vote for me in the Best of Austin Poll, I'm fairly certain I and my friends could easily win in a few different categories.

But I guess only time will tell. Thusfar, I haven't done as much campagning as I'd hoped. I keep forgetting to mention it in my newsletters.

Ah well. Thanks to those of you who've taken the time to do so! :)
