I thought you would pay the marketing department to do this while you hang out on the yacht. On 6/25/2015 12:09 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: Yeah, I am too lazy for that kind of effort...

One thing I've heard of is joining an online community where you know the target market hangs out. You either use two accounts or you do it with a partner. You start a conversation about a problem, and then your product is mentioned as a solution. You could mention it alongside other well known products to try to equate yours with theirs in the customer's mind. ChuckOneEleventyOne: "Aw geez I keep losing equipment to nearby lightning strikes." Chuckster: "I like Transtector LPU's, but there's this upstart guy named Chuck with disruptive pricing on ethernet Surge Suppressors." ChuckOneEleventyOne: "Hmm...I've heard of Transtector. Is this Chuck guy's product just as good?" Chuckster: "Probably" ChuckOneEleventyOne: "Is Chuck easy to purchase from, and have good support?" Chuckster: "I think so." Chuckinator: "I met Chuck once, and he's a swell guy. I would buy from him before a faceless machine like Transtector!" As far as I understood, that's guerilla marketing.

You asked if it would offend. Rule # 1 of spam is f&%k the targets feelings. What you should be doing is harvesting from all these lists and selling the contact info to some ukranian kid I suppose next your going to tell us when we order stuff from you you ARENT selling our contact info to one group and our financial info to another. Thats not how this works, thats not how any of this works.

Would you like to receive a real one in the mail? With all my best wishes (over the top complementary closing etc). Chuck Would that offend? Would that get scraped off by gmail etc? Is there a better way? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
