for a voter, having good choices is a must
good choices come about because they are familiar with you...you are a household name, they see you around and they hold a good impression of you
thus names like Sylvia Lim, Chaim See Tong and Low Thia Kiang are names in which people have a general good impression, are responsible and so on so forth
the question is how do those who need to, promote themselves to the public
can we contribute some ideas?
I start the ball rolling with a few suggestions:
Being contentious does not benefit you.
And it does not benefit the people whom you are want to benefit.
On the other hand, getting mindshare is like building your bank account with them. They hold these memories and impressions of you. When it is time later on for you to get their vote, they may or may not vote for you but at least they are willing to consider it.

I start the ball rolling with a few suggestions:
- Make a donation and get a plaque prominently displayed eg "xxx-WP Free Clinic"...it lasts for a long time and you are in the public mind each time they pass by
- Set up a foundation and offer free tuition to needy kids
- if they are allowed to visit businessmen, then do so, talk about the weather and hand out name cards
- wear corporate identifiers like tie-pins, logo-t-shirts, paint your car with your logo
