second life

August 2007

With the realisation of a company presence in Second Life for a German publishing group, we have extended the opportunities of on-line marketing for the company.
All offers of the publishing house are available on a daily basis in Second Life and are connected with the publishing company websites.

Visitors at the Second Life property can browse through the offers and can get information about new books and DVDs. Inquiries from Second Life reach directly the responsible assistants of the publishing companies; here, authors will introduce new publications and some books are also available for download as a PDF.

All offers of the publishing group are generated automatically on a daily basis via data bank queries, a manual administration is therefore not necessary.

The design of the property, based on an idea of the publishing group, was realised by Ruth Prantz.

June 2007

In June 2007, we created a website in Drupal 5.2 for the organisation of an international Second Life conference.

All services and publications - conference events, sponsoring packages, advertisment packages, press releases - are bookable and payable online.
Proposals and profiles were uploaded and administered online by the speakers; the conference program was generated automatically from the website data.
Behind it, there is a very detailed on-line workflow with differentiated user rights.

The conference was prepared and organized by cocoate.
