A Little Clarity Please

9 Feb

I often see requests to “find us on Facebook” plastered on print ads, TVCs, sides of buses etc and it irks me.

don't just find us, like us for god's sake!

don't just find us, like us for god's sake!

 

Don’t instruct your prospects to “find you” that’s not what you really want, command them to “like” your Facebook page so that you can ensnare them in your net of Facebook love and harangue them into seeing things from your point of view.

If you use this then you are failing. Close your prospects with very clear language, use Google to “find” stuff not Facebook.

See! there is a formula to virality.

This concept was borrowed from a proven series of Youtube videos, then applied locally for an instant viral smash.

Environmental Vandalism?

20 Jan

Environmental vandalism

In order for these examples of an utterly obsolete advertising medium to land on my doorstep:

  • Trees were cut down and turned into paper
  • Tonnes of carbon dioxide were pumped into the atmosphere to deliver this crap by road

And for what? They’ll only end up either:

  • propping up monitors
  • acting as door stops; or
  • as landfill

Perhaps future generations will consider such massive waste environmental vandalism?
