How do you make yourself as desirable as an iPhone 4?
The queue outside the O2 store in Manchester this morning (06:45 for an 08:02 opening) was over 100 people – and so I estimate that it will take 15 minutes to service every customer – and that there will not be enough PC stations to handle more than 6 people at a time = 4 … Read the Rest
London Based dentists – please read urgently – you have 24 hours….
It seems that my friend Nicola Cairncross has a good idea to share with you. Dear Chris
I’ve JUST been approved to deliver internet marketing mentoring under the Train To Gain scheme (which is about to be withdrawn on Friday so let’s not waste it!) I can offer up to 90 odd … Read the Rest
WIGIG
You know how I go on and on about KEDOs. Knock ‘em Dead Offers. I’m indebted to Matt Jackson from IDH who reminded me this morning of WIGIG. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Blueapple – a premiership team
It has been a hugely enjoyable 24 hours in Belcoo, Co Fermanagh, with the team at Blueapple. Last night I hosted our second Study Group meeting for referring dentists, covering 2010 marketing ideas (that’s the year, not the number of ideas) and introducing the audience to the world of branding and web marketing. The conversation … Read the Rest
Jaguar and “transumerism”
In the latest issue of Intelligent Life I read with interest an advertising feature by Jaguar on the subject of a new group of consumers, described as “transumers”. You may not be able to read the words on this copy of the ad – I’ll do my best to paraphrase. “Things have moved on since … Read the Rest
