The Cone marches on...

I discovered some exciting news about my Colin the Cone character today.

Following my creation of a Facebook page for him he has begun to accumulate a number of friends. Initially, this was entirely made up of people known to me, but no longer....

I've (he has?) started receiving friend requests from people who've seen him and want to join in the fun. Not only that, but they've begun sending me pictures of him in their workplace. Now add in the fact they are in Australia (I'm in the UK) and I find this very exciting! I'm informed they have acquired a cone and intend taking him on road trips as well. Considering they work in a bank, I'm astonished at his popularity with them.

I intend making up a small, softback book to send out to them, with his story and images in it.

Perhaps this is the start of a boom in Colin mania? World domination can only be a short time away...

The expansion of Colin the Cone

I’ve spent the last few days thinking about my Colin the Cone character and attempting to start him on the viral pathway. This is much harder than I expected, although he does now have his own facebook page and half a dozen ‘friends’.

I’m hoping to use the house teenagers to spread the word about him and encourage visitors to his website.

I’m also asking his friends to send pictures of him if they spot him on his travels (some of his friends are in Australia).

Any suggestions for spreading the Colin website would be gratefully accepted – I will shortly be printing a few t-shirts and keyrings to try and raise his profile.
