Hidden Profits in Gift Cards- Shame on Walmart!

Walmart sold Millions of dollars in gift cards for the holidays.
But, when people came to stores in buy stuff on sale after christmas
they could not use those gifts cards because Wal mart could not process them.

Hmmmm, I do not buy this. They now have millions of dollars that people can not spend.
They made people pay cash or credit.

Getting a gift card for your business could be a great move.
25% of gift cards are never used, so its free money.
Walmart now has free money and is also making interest on that money
in their bank. I think your business would do well if people just came by and
gave you money and you never had to provide a product or service.


Shame on Walmart for scamming people who are already financially
strapped.

Their PR people have had no comment. That is not good.
If your business has a mistake, you should have a reason articulated by
someone trained for the media to talk about it. I think this mistake will
help Walmart make the profit they need this year.


We'll see how this plays out, I wonder if anyone will questions it.
What do you think?

If You Dont Stop Using Free Emails Now, You will hate yourself later!

Pet Peeve.

Someone has a business and a website , they email me or hand me their business card.
Their website says: www.xxxx.com but their email is hotmail, yahoo, msn or gmail.com

HELLO?
if you have a website, then you should have an email address that goes with the website!
Keep your free emails for your junk mail but in business use your website email.

It's called branding. And Frankly, why are you advertising aol, yahoo, gmail, or hotmail for free? They are not paying you, but you are giving them space on your business card!

Stop it people, just stop it right now.
It does not help your branding and it shows me you have not really learned enough about marketing.

Yes, I love marketers who give me their card with aol, yahoo, msn or hotmail.
It really excludes them from working with me.

And stop using free Vista Cards too!
I love Vista Printing, but go ahead and splurge for a business card that says you believe in yourself and can afford a business card. Buy the Vista Printing Products and pay for them, they have some good stuff!
