Great Ideas and Bad Ideas
I found this article on digg and expecting something quite different. It talks about ads on webpages that incorporate the page into the ad. For example, and iTouch ad that bends the background as the device is rotated. While that is all and well, it gave me a much better idea for a self-destructing page.

I came across a post today from Church Marketing Sucks about spending $5,000. In it, they talk about two ideas for marketing handouts. The first is handing out flyers or stickers that point you to a website. The second is to stamp your website on a $1 bill and hand that out to someone in need.

I have developed a sales maxim: don’t sell frosting by showing me frosting… sell frosting by showing me cake.
Far too often people try to sell the wrong things. If someone wanted to go from place A to B, then you would have to introduce them to the idea of a car before you sell them on the cup holders and leather seats.

Apparently it is Black Music Month. This has been going on since 2001 and I haven’t noticed til now. How has that happened? I listen to black music (or at least to black artists, who I assume make black music). I am very proud that this is not lumped together with Black History Month. What other kinds of Black months could pop up soon? Black election month perhaps?

Secret Church is a form of religious gathering that combines the best parts of small groups and cherishes exclusivity.
Today it’s Secret Church, which is my fantasy of meeting in small groups for spirituality. It is the opposite of advertising and masquerading in religion. Hopefully I can find/start this.

I was watching winter passing last night, and it gave me an idea. Girls wear make-up, guys don’t. So it could be assumed that girls have a better knowledge of make-up, and can better recognize make-up. So if a guy was to wear enough make-up that a girl could pick up it’s subtle hint, but other guys could not detect it, wouldn’t this make a guy get noticed more by girls without looking like an idiot in front of other guys? If anyone tries this out, let me know.
