That last example actually happened to me last week while walking down the street in downtown Chicago. It was ridiculous!
And it got me thinking: what do all of those marketing techniques have in common?
A few things, really:
• They suck
• They annoy people
• They cost money
• They waste money
• They waste trees
• They are antiquated, boring and ineffective marketing channels created around interruption
Interruption, I say!
And they don’t work any more.

I met Darlene at one of my networking meetings; she's never run a business or come to a networking meeting in her life. And it shows. Between bites of my morning cottage cheese I peek over at her and see her flipping her hair, tapping her pencil and biting her lip in what seems to be one continuous fidget. Darlene's scared out of her wits, she isn't comfortable and she certainly isn't confident. You just couldn't help but feel bad for her. You've got someone really trying to do something in his/her life but just isn't comfortable doing it. A lot of us are like Darlene (or were like her), some more than others; I used to be a little like her too. I didn't always feel so confiden

Believe it or not my business was started with a box of junk. I run a Copywriting and Marketing consulting business and also a business software company. My online presence and really my entire business was all created from a box of electronics junk...I had been hauling around a box full of ancient electron tubes (for you younger readers tubes were used in all the electronics from the early 70's and going back before they were replaced with transistors and later integrated circuits.) These tubes had been thrown out by the Army when they were cleaning out their inventories, but the tubes were essentially all "brand new" unused and still in the original boxes. I did some experiment

Performance metrics need to be tracked diligently. This is never more the case than with networking activities. Many computer consultants know they should be tracking specific performance metrics but fail to have a system to actually do so.A Profit and Loss type method for tracking performance metrics works quite nicely. By setting up a PNL statement you can use your defined performance metrics to track and measure the performance payback from each of the organizations you get involved with.PNL and Networking Performance MetricsSet up a separate statement for each organization you are involved with.Track the expenses on one side: Record the dates and me

Gets worse.
In 2004, a UCLA study reported that the average consumer sees 3000 marketing messages in one day. Course, that was a few years ago. By now, I bet it’s well over 5000.
Interruption.
This word has been on my mind a lot lately, and here’s why…
See, tomorrow is November 1st. Which means my company will celebrate its four-year anniversary in a few months. (Woo hoo!)
Now, I will tell you that, for the few years of my company’s existence, I didn’t make much money.
OK, fine. I didn’t make ANY money.
However, 2006 was a stellar year. I almost tripled my projected revenue. I surpassed most of my year-end goals by October. I even managed to take some time off! (Double woo hoo!)
And so to me, I take this as a sign that my marketing efforts are (finally!) paying off.
But, I have a confession to make. In fact, I have three of them.
In the history of my career as an entrepreneur:
1) I’ve never made a cold call.
2) I’v
