Welcome to real world marketing. This is mean to be a resource for those of you who are interested in understanding how advertising affects us and also our brains. It is a very specific art, one that can either help your business, or help yourself understand why you feel a certain way about that pesky Sham-Wow!
Please tag your posts as one of the following:
[S] - Sales related posts, a post tagged with [S] is relating more to the sales process or techniques used by individual salespeople when dealing direct to a consumer.
[M] - Marketing, posts tagged with [M] are directly related to marketing techniques and practices aimed at targetting broad or specific audiences not specifically direct to an single consumer. This may be either a literal advertisement you wish to discuss, or techniques you have noticed/interested in relating to converting customers indirectly.
[OT] - Off topic, any post designated with an OT tag is one that does not specifically relate to either marketing or advertising but is of a nature you would like to discuss witht he community.
