Re: Marketing Marketing Marketing

Scott, Mail and call is the best results by far. My Community Activity (Plaza Shows) is coming on strong. Trade shows, lots of tire kickers so far. Nothing to speak of. Forget trying to sell to vendors, it just pisses them off. Neighborhood marketing is very strong too. Thats all keyed off the Cole ...

Re: Stop It!

By the way Scott, the little voice in my head is very confused. That is odd for me as I make my decisions and stick with them. Gut tells me two things 1) I know people like this exist. After 20+ years looking, why not me?

Re: Do you agree? Customers do not like inconsistencies

That would be correct. People do not like change.

Bristol West is now owned by Farmers. Get ready for a whole lot of change. They can not seem to figure out when they have a good thing going.
