Marketing Fails

February 11, 2026

I was going to continue posting blogs about our fun time in Montpelier Vermont, but some things happened this week that I just had to write about. When persistence becomes harassment I get businesses sending out “cold call” emails. Not exactly the preferred way to do business, but if done right, a business may just […]

Deceptive marketing

September 18, 2024

I try to eat healthy. Hah, the operative word here is “try.” I know yogurt is good for you since it has calcium, protein and probiotics. I also try to be mindful of my sugar and fat consumption. I was excited to see this latest yogurt by Chobani, sugar-free no less! Greek yogurt has more […]

Lazy marketing

August 23, 2023

I’m taking a break from writing about our wonderful Old Quebec vacation to do a little rant. My latest pet peeve is what I call lazy marketing. I have been getting emails from companies wanting to do business with me. Since each email is worded pretty much the same, I know these companies must do […]

Misleading marketing

May 3, 2023

I consider myself an educated consumer, but I am still learning things. So I recently had blood work done and had my cholesterol checked. The cholesterol numbers were NOT good. And this in spite of the fact that I exercise a lot and eat kale. 🙂 I shouldn’t be since I have a family history […]

Onyx Media Belgium – how NOT to do marketing

August 4, 2021

Comments Off on Onyx Media Belgium – how NOT to do marketing

Okay, time for another rant about really, really annoying marketing. Once again it is about idiots who think that annoying someone with multiple emails will mean that one will do business with them. Shame on you Onyx Media Belgium! Not only have you been sending multiple emails to me, but you are sending these emails […]

Real estate done right

July 21, 2021

So last week was my rant about aggressive real estate agents. This week is about an agent who does things right. I want to give a shout out to Michael McQuillan, a local real estate agent with Coldwell Banker. In full disclosure, I grew up with Mike and am friends with him on Facebook. I […]

Enough with the aggressive real estate agents!

July 14, 2021

QUICK NOTE: I’m writing this week, but never fear. Mr. Ken still has a few blog posts up his sleeve, so he will be back. The housing market here in Massachusetts is hot, to say the least. There is a lot of pent up demand, but not a lot of inventory on the market. So, […]

Disturbing marketing

May 29, 2019

Normally I’m a “live and let live” type of gal. But something happened last weekend that I just can’t forget. I’m in my exercise room, deep into my yoga practice and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Greece. All of a sudden I hear this loud pounding on our side door. Now normally I would ignore […]

Misleading marketing

April 3, 2019

I should know better; if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Last week, I was perusing Facebook and an ad popped up in my feed. Now normally I ignore ads, but this one caught my eye. It was for free bootcamp sessions at a gym near me. (On a side […]

The secret to watching the Super Bowl

February 6, 2019

Comments Off on The secret to watching the Super Bowl

Yes, I live in New England and I am proud of that fact. Yes, I am proud of our sports teams, but I don’t live and breathe sports. As the annual Super Bowl was upon us and I was not looking forward to suffering through, er sitting through another game of 300 pound men jumping […]
