Brian,
This board is not the place to be hocking marketing ideas or advice. If you want to solicit Tomasz' business then do it privately.
Kind Regards,

D,You are working under the auspices that all marketing is bad. Think about all the products you do enjoy that do spend money on marketing, and you will see what I mean.I stated it earlier but perhaps it got buried. If you combine a quality work ethic with top-notch marketing, you are ultimately going to end up ahead of the competition that relies only on good marketing.The natural tendency is to hate marketers. I understand this. I also hate most marketers. I am not that type of marketer. I specialize in customer relationship management (CRM). This means I believe the real money is to be made by actively listening to customers to find out what their needs are. I don't believe in trying to sell something the customer does not really need. This is where the easy $$$ is anyway, from a marketing perspective.I
have little time to educate everyone here.
