Speaking of marketing (I know, I know - nobody was talking about marketing; this is a marketing thread after all...) I went to a MLB baseball game a couple of weeks ago (KC Royals vs. somebody). Right behind homeplate there was an electronic billboard on the fence, maybe 3x5 feet. One-third of the time it showed [Pentax] in its bright red letters on a black background. Or maybe the other way around. Anyway, definitely eye catching and a good position for anyone who might have been watching via TV as it would be in the immediate background for any shot of the batter from center field. I took a few very forgettable shots of the sign to go with the mostly forgettable other shots I took of the game.
But fishing? Somebody unreeled a too-good-to-be-true offer and Pentax went for it, hook, line and sinker... stan On Jun 12, 2007, at 12:26 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: "Tom C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> >>>>>>>> Gee, Tom, I wonder what line of products they'll be marketing >>> . >>>>>>> Depends on the bait. >>> >>>>>> Hope you aren't casting aspersions on the company >>> >>>>> Certainly not!
