Onyx Media Belgium – how NOT to do marketing

August 4, 2021

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 […]

Giving up information

November 13, 2019

We do live in an information-based society. Most, or maybe just some, of us, are very careful about what we share online. But it’s funny how we react to things. A dear friend and I went to a financial seminar the other night. The topic was, “Managing your Retirment,” which is something we all need […]

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 […]

What’s in a name

February 13, 2019

As a marketing person, I thought I was immune to all the tips and tricks marketers use to draw you in. I guess not. I was shopping at my favorite food store, Market Basket, and I was very excited to see that they now carry organic milk. Market Basket is known for its low prices […]

The secret to watching the Super Bowl

February 6, 2019

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 […]

Social media faux pas

April 4, 2018

Okay, so social media is here to stay. But it seems it is degenerating into quick hits. A few recent experiences got me thinking about how little thought we put into what we say on social media. 1. Why connect. I’m a big LinkedIn user, since it is more for professional use. I am always […]

Tips for watching the Super Bowl

February 7, 2018

Blah, blah, blah. I don’t like football. There is just something very weird about 300 pound men jumping on top of each other. And for this they get paid millions of dollars a year! I just don’t get it. This dates back to my junior high days when I was a cheerleader. We had a […]

Awful marketing

September 27, 2017

What ever happened to honesty and integrity? I know, I know, I am asking a rhetorical question, but two recent incidents really got me thinking. By now, you all must have heard of the Equifax data breach. At least 143 million names, birthdates and social security numbers were stolen by hackers getting into Equifax. Now […]

Confusing marketing

August 2, 2017

I spent my younger years baking in the sun. What could be better than being blonde and tanned? Now I am paying the price with several bouts of skin cancer. So now, I am meticulous about wearing sunscreen, even in the winter. I especially like Coppertone Water Babies sunscreen; it works the best. I was […]
