My sister asked this question and an interesting conversation took place. How do you decide who is the stronger brand? Is it by popularity, number of albums sold, popular songs, ads, albums released, marketability or by how much the artist makes in a concert?
Deciding on the criteria is always a very critical thing. I did a quick search on facebook and found that Amr Diab has more groups dedicated to him than Mohamed Mounir and with lots of members whereas Mohamed Mounir has more fan pages with just as much fans. How do you compare and decide? One friend commented that Mounir has fans in Germany and all over Europe too which is true, but Amr Diab won the international Music Award too. Every way you look at it, you realize that they are both very famous and have lots of fans and loyal followers. Nevertheless my own personal opinion is that Amr Diab is a stronger brand because :
- He was chosen by Pepsi to lead their campaigns which means he is more marketable.
- He is a trend maker in terms of music and fashion.
- His fans are more widespread and diverse and he has the ability to reach a wider audience.
That was my simple analysis, what do you think?

The amount of young women starting up their own creative business endeavours makes me proud. I am what you could call a simple feminist. I am all for girl power, equal rights and strong women but with good traditional family values. I love that these women are creative. I love that they have passion for what they are making and that they are selling it. I am seeing groups popping up on facebook every day by women selling jewelry, accessories and home accessories that they have made themselves. I am also seeing lots of women who are selling clothes that have been bought in from abroad. Although I am more proud of the women selling their own handmade goods because I think this is better for the economy and overall future of the country because it creates pride in Egyptian goods and should eventually create a productive society instead of a consuming one.
Here are some of the great examples that are on facebook:
Shakmageya copper jewelry.
Fofo hand painted t-shirts and bags
Crochet and Knit Lovers the name says it all.
Hand Touch handmade purses and bags
Personalized Accessories I just wish that they could come up with a catchy name like their lovely pendants and rings.
Any of these products would make a lovely gift. Most of these artists offer personalization and special orders. I also find prices amazingly fair and affordable. If you have this kind of talent you really need to be out there making your stuff and selling it.
