Our newspaper is getting desperate

[Mikey P]

I wonder how many takers they have...

Had one of the tv sales women email me wanting to meet. Tv seo, AdWords, geo fencing and more.

All of the media seem to offer more than just their traditional services nowadays.

So, did you meet her?

 

[Desk Jockey]

No I did a nice "chuck you farley" response. Close the door firmly but professionally.

Not enough time in the day for all the requests for "just 5 minutes of your time".

I bet there will be a few old timers that will consider hiring them because they are not computer savoy....and probably here that social media can help them....but they don't know where to start....

Heck, even a few of the "have been in business for some time now, but just never took the time to work or learn how to post anywhere"

Holy Ripoff Batman. I would do it for half that per month.

I had a meeting with a ad rep this last week. Same pitch. Total all in investment $42k for the year.

The real kicker was when he tried to tell me their FB page was a better place than ours.

National television station. They had 12k followers We have 4,900k. We did that in one year for our retail store.

I could buy their commercials in the package for 12k. They thought their social media "boost" was worth 30K unbelievable!

LOL Over valued their service.

I turn all that stuff over to my brainy daughter in law, who actually speaks that language.

She cuts them up like bad bangs.

I bet you can get YP ads dirt cheap these days. They are about as obsolete as newspapers.

I'm still online in YP ads but haven't paid in over five years. They need the content I guess.
