Dear NYC Post-Production House:

January 5, 2009
Dear NYC Post-Production House:

I would address this to you by your company name, but of the three people who just called me (within 5 minutes) on your behalf, none could speak English well enough for me to understand. Not that I didn’t ask each of them to say the name of the company again; it’s just that they chose not to respond to my question, they just continued on with the script.

Happy 2009 NYC Post-Production House! I’m glad to see that you’ve been doing so well, that you can afford to throw money down the drain on marketing that does not work! In fact, I’m sort of in awe of the fact that you are in such good shape financially, that you can afford to annoy potential customers. Was the three-calls-in-five-minutes strategy your idea, or something you worked out with the quasi-legitimate phone spammers? Whomever came up with that ploy is a genius! What better way to alert your potential customer base that you are doing so well?

And, may I say, what a bold, laugh-in-the-face-of-convention move it was to springboard into the, just-keep-calling-until-someone-has-a-stroke gambit. Brilliant!

Congratulations again, hope to see you in 2010!
Mike

It’s 2009 folks. We all aren’t doing quite as well as the NYC Post-Production House. Ask yourself this before you start firing employees and/or consultants: Am I wasting money on old marketing that annoys more potential customers than it brings in?

Here’s to a GREAT 2009!
