art damage is brought to you by the expensive association
so i'm enjoying the internet once again, i'm quite active on facebook and love chatting up ex-girlfriends and long lost relatives...
i must admit that for a while i've been reading a lot about marketing and branding and so on. my reasons were many for getting into it. what i've noticed is that some marketers create things you actually want and are adept at sweetening the deal or getting your attention.
i hate it when i've signed up for something free with an email and then i start getting emails from them that have a subject line that starts RE: my latest offer
when i never sent them anything inquiring about that latest offer.
it just seems too manipulative. i would like to put together a nON-Marketing checklist of manipulative things that marketers do to sell something.
i'm going to name this project and tweet requests yahoo answers etc, to build up a library of yukky mean ways people get (or try to get) your money.
so feel free to comment on this and share your experiences!
i will tweet this also to get input there...
look for results (or lack of interest from everyone) here!
i hope you'll join in the discussion
i remain yours
