7-Second Thoughts November 8, 2024

When no marketing

is good marketing.

About 10 years ago, I bought a compost turner online.

It worked so well

And made composting so much fun

That over the years I’ve considered asking the owner

For a piece of the action

I’ve referred so many people

The marketing, on the other hand?

Bad to the point of offensive

Seriously, some of the worst I’ve seen

Website? Like something out of the dawn of the internet

Social media? Nonexistent

Email newsletter? Ditto

They don’t even offer free shipping!

But the product?

Quality as the day is long

Which is why I’d give their marketing

10 out of 5 stars if I could:

It’s a product that feels like any budget they may have reserved for marketing

Went straight into the manufacturing instead

Which in turn

Compelled this particular customer

And apparently many, many more

To take the matter of marketing

Into their own hands.

I’m here,

Kevin

P.S. Come for the Lotech Compost Turner and only the Lotech Compost Turner
