Europe vs America – You Decide

In Buzz Marketing | 76 comments | permalink

Where is best – America or Europe?

Next week we will be in LA doing a presentation at one of the biggest marketing seminars on the planet. One of the big secrets that we will be revealing at this seminar, is that we will be doing a ‘Buzz Marketing Bootcamp’ in the very near future.

The purpose of this blog post is NOT to promote or plug it, in fact, I am not even going to share with you all of the juicy details… instead, I come bearing one question and one question only:

If we did a Buzz Marketing Bootcamp for 30 people… would you prefer it in Europe or America?

Please make your opinions known, as your comments will have a direct influence on where we host this shindig.

Many thanks,

Dean

    Europe.

    The girls are more attractive, more intelligent and more stylish.

    The food is better, is healthier and tastier.

    Everything is better in Europe.

    Why don’t you have it in Monaco?

    I am sure you’ll be able to sell this out no matter where you have it. I imagine there would be a lot of interest in the UK, West Coast US (LA), or East Coast US (NY). I personally would find the east coast of the US most convenient.

    Europe, I like the idea of Monaco! I like how everything is cheap in America because of exchange rates..

    Europe Europe Europe!

    I’m sick and tired of all the business building seminars taking place in the US. They’ve had enough already and should be good enough at business by now :P

    Dean, the reason I and so many others want to attend your training and absorb your information is because you pride yourself on being different. You don’t offer all the normal Internet Marketing crap that we are bombarded with.

    Well, what better way to be different than to do it in Europe?

    And for all the Americans, you know the European woman are really hotter, no matter what horrible pictures he puts here…

    Fingers crossed!

    The UK would be good, or else in your flat in Madrid.

    Failing that I’ve heard that Bolton has a lot to offer to the discerning Bootcamp attendee…

    Europe would be easier to get to for me. East coast US would give a good excuse to visit my spiritual home of Boston. I’m sure you’ll get the take up wherever it’s hosted and I probably won’t be able to come anyhow so go with the majority – I look forward to reading about it :-)

    Dean,

    Let’s be honest, you could do an event in Iraq and you would still sell every single ticket.

    That said, I would personally prefer Europe (The UK would be nice)

    Hi Keith,

    Great to hear from you.

    “Just because” is as good a reason as any.

    Come on America, where are you? ;-) Europe is currently dominating, so let’s see some of this American power in action.

    This is a tough one, I am from England, my wife is American and we live in the USA.
    She takes great joy in reminding me my daughter is American as she was born here, and I take great joy in trying to get her to say tomato correctly.

    Have it in Vegas, isn’t that the place to get buzzed?

    Since I live in America, I’ll have to vote for America… In this economy, I still couldn’t afford to go.

    But what about setting it up as a video webinar? Live… so we can all experience your dazzling personality… Red-neck and Euro-trash alike!

    You could also sell multiple sessions with more in attendance… But heck, that might make you too much money.

    Great idea! Keep Cooking!

    Europe,

    Italy would be even better.

    How about Venice? The surroundings are fantastic,
    lots of cool stuff to go. And you can go the casino
    at night and hang with the “DEAN” and his killer bunnies .

    Until next time,

    Europe definitely – I can highly recommend Amsterdam as a splendid venue for this. The Hotel Krasnolpolsky is nice and central and has conference facilities – the town caters for – quite literally -any taste in relaxation activity and the first night party can be held on the “Supper Club Cruise” supperclub.com – but above all Amsterdam is not a city which lends itself to being overly corporate, dull and non-innovative

    As much as I would like to say the US, I’d go w/ Europe. American’s are too entrenched in their ways of thinking, and are reluctant to try new ideas. Europeans, thanks to the constant intermingling of cultures due to geography, are more tolerant of change. An example, consider how many Europeans are bilingual (or multilingual) compared to Americans.

    Southern Italian is probably my food choice. Greek is a close 2nd. Why do you think I have a thing for ethnic women? haha

    Thanks for the great articles!

    Hi Dean,

    despite operating in Canada, I would much rather enjoy a seminar in Europe. I like the idea of Monaco as well.
    This will give me another reason to go back to motherland.

    Dean,

    I would prefer the U.S. for convenience and expense in attending. But I think Europe might be better for some and make it a “more unique/buzz type event”.

    Hello, Dean – not to be anal, however the answer to your question is based on your business motivation and target goals.
    If it is solely based on location, then a destination in Europe is preferred.
    Not to diminish the European Market potential, however believe if you held the event in LA or San Jose, California – you would attract a strong demand and base of attendees for this class of Boot Camp.
    Being a well-healed worldwide traveler (and, as mentioned – do not want to insult or diminish the EURO Market) – believe that the Event would be a “sellout” in the US. Need to be careful, with timing, because there are some BIG Names in the InfoMarketing field that are hosting key events in the States.
    April & May are biggies for Seminars, Workshops & Boot Camps.

    Wish you continued success and value the exchanges and materials that you have given us access to.

    Here’s to the “Creeping Crud” – a traditional viral approach!

    Europe.
    And the choice is Lisbon. It’s the closest European capital to the United States, the weather is almost always good (it has the most sunshine hours in the old continent), and it is just a couple of hours away from most other major European cities.
    It is also less expensive than most other Euro capitals (hotels, restaurants, etc.) and there is a variety of sights to see (World Heritage monuments, world-class museums, and beaches and fairytale palaces nearby).

    Really, there is no better choice!

    Downright discrimination…………..
    By a country mile, Australia is the best venue. Land of Plenty mate. Everything you need, want or dream of is here. Fresh food cooked by some of the world’s finest chefs….. Some of the world’s best beaches….. Some of the world’s best beer & wine.
    Here’s the scenario:-
    Boot Camp = 1 day
    Excellent time checking out this fabulous island = the rest of your life.
    The author of this mini diatribe is a touch biased.

For next Asia is a must, I urge Jakarta, how come it be, town I live where Dean meet Hunt in summit easily, then your mission accomplished, even I have other will you like most, all the rest world know, Kuta, Bali, you’ll be in Heaven.

    Dear Dean,

    First of all I need to ask you what exactly means a bootcamp?

    I may be fauling in a mistake due to a missunderstanding… sorry my English is not yet the best…. But as you may see… I am doing my best effort with it.

    Regarding the event you are talking… If you are looking only for 30 attendants, it would be any place over the world, personally I think that Las Vegas could be a great place.. of course by saying this I can be being partial since I have my offices there and that facilitates me the oppotunity to be present.

    Nevertheless if the intention is to summon to the greater amount of followers …. I need to say you I am a little surprised about this post, because I think you are aware world is nowadays a small place, easier to catch in your hands only deciding it.

    We are a growing community following your marketing ideas, almost like addicts…..

    Why you need to delimit the circle of your followers to a space given on the Earth face?

    What will happen to those who we do not have possibility of being present in one or in another place?

    Do somewhat impressive (as you know to do)via Internet and I assure to you that you will have much more followers interested of all the points of the planet of which you have imagined sometimes before!

    Hey Dean !

    I see you got the buzz going on with this question :-)

    Even though I live and operate from Canada, I would go hands down with Europe. Of course it depends on which country, but usually food is a LOT better, and the cultural aspect a lot richer. My vote would go to Amsterdam, Madrid, Monaco, or somewhere in Italy.
    Having travelled a lot, I had my quota of the UK. Rain and fish & chips… simply just not for me I guess !

    Who cares if the women are Hotter one place or another. What about the men, where are the hottest Men at? lol.

    Ya’ll can all come to my house and hang out with us yee haws here in Texas….just kidding.

    I would vote for America only because it would be easier and cheaper for me to attend. If I were a Rich Woman with no family I had to worry about getting back to, I would vote for Europe….I would love to see Europe and I love the accent and charm of European men.

    Hi Dean,

    The answer is simple, as I would not want to miss your Buzz Marketing Bootcamp and I cannot get to any other part of the globe, it will have to be in Teramo, Italy.
    Its a great City and not far from the Adriatic.

    Good luck with your presentation in LA.

    Now here’s an idea. How about you get right away from both Europe & America, & hold it in Australia? The women are just as hot (& so is the weather), the Internet access is just as good, & the food is healthier. It’ll give you a whole new dimension.

    It also has an International airport, fantastic weather, and with the US dollar dropping like a rock, it should be a no brainer for Europeans to come to the US. Your Euro will go much further here.

    It has to be Manchester.
    Apart from the fact that American food is pants and the Americans have the market cornered on stuff like this – Europeans are just nicer people with a nicer outlook on life, (and like everyone else has said – better food, better looking women, nicer surroundings and more history.)
    I know that by saying all that, I have just ruled Manchester out of the running, but I, (yeah, that’s me!!!!!), really need to come and I can’t afford to get to anywhere else, so it just has to be Manchester!
