Page 25 of May issue of Cleanfax

Connections people put a full page ad in thanking everyone for making the show a success.

Problem is it starts later this week.

Maybe this is the same advertising agency that probably charged the IICRC a small fortune to come up with Clean Trust? This is almost as bad as radio or tv ads for a sale that ended the week before. Usually someone gets fired for these mistakes- maybe in Connctions case somone gets a raise.

Maybe they're just really optimistic?

 

[Art Kelley]

Is the show prepaid?

 

[Charlie Lyman]

I almost went when I heard how successful it was.

Florida Connections has never been a success for anyone other than Cooper and the local bars and hookers.

They had some money left over from their $140,000 per year marketing budget, so they HAD to blow it. What else would they do, share it with the associations?

The editorial deadline for magazine advertising is 90 days prior to publication, so if you don't want a thanks to be stale you have to pre-package it. A true professional would know that magazines are released a month before their cover date though.

Exactly- and the june issue would be out 3 weeks after.

I don't care much, and certainly don't keep up with this stuff, but it looks to me like Wheelwright might be involved.

Is it possible?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

There is no connection between Tony and Connections...not even at an arm's length

 

[hogjowl]

Then how is it possible that the thing is already screwed up before it's even happened?

I mean ... if Tony is not involved ...?
