Mr. Colon picked me up from the school at about 1:30 and took me to meet one of his clients. His client owned a car garage and wanted to market his shop and get some publicity to get his name around. When we first arrived there, I already could tell what a couple of his marketing ideas were going to be based on how hard it was to even find the place. From that I knew he wanted to get his location out to people. That was pretty much all that he was sure of. He was talking to us but he wasn't really saying much. All he knew was that he wanted bright colors, effects, shirts, key chains, signs, etc, but when money was thrown into the conversation, all of that changed. This was a lesson learned for me. People never really know what they want and money changes everything unless they have no budget.Friday, March 11, 2011

What a great attention-grabbing picture. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteWell, they say "money makes the world go 'round." It's held true so far. I'm sure you had an interesting experience though. I can't wait to hear more! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to recognize how confused he was on what he really wanted and then his shift when I told him the price of what he was asking for.
ReplyDeleteA lot of times people have delusions of grandeur when it comes to marketing. Marketing is like buying a car...everybody wants the Bentley but you have to be realistic and find a way to be effective within your budget. Thats when you buy a Civic or Altima.
