Project Launch: JaCuracao - everything about getting married on Curacao

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Last friday the first edition of Loket 1’s new magazine “JaCuracao - alles over trouwen op Curacao” rolled off the press. It is being distributed in Holland and Curacao as I’m writing this.

The cool thing about this particular magazine (besides the publisher being our partner) is that it is probably the first magazine on Curacao with an accompanying website aimed at creating synergy between the two. We put this website live last friday as well.

With the website we want to take over where the magazine leaves off with supplementary ‘online-only’ content, columns, extra information and visitor interaction. The idea is that together they will deliver on the promise of having everything about getting married on Curacao.

The basic website is live now and we will be adding content and functionality to it as we go. The first enhancements will be commenting on articles, a forum and more columns (/blogs) by local people (a wedding planners, a hotelier, an expat, etc).
