Ubiquitous Marketing

That I think I shouldn’t blog about it. But, there’s this lunch place near work that makes a transcendental (ethereal?) sandwich of carrots, hummus, avocado, and greens. It is awesome. But the place is always small and packed. So… they lose a lot of customers who go on to substandard meals elsewhere. But what if [...]

So, I’m setting up Twitter and FriendFeed accounts for PRWeek. I have no idea how they will be deployed (and, you know, we have a fully packed Facebook group, and still not sure how to harness that). But the price of inaction is to cede the future to a competitor.

As a subscriber to multiple magazines, I engage in a transaction of money for printed words. As a result of our postcard contract, the publishing company is bound to pay the postage and deliver me content on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the terms.
