Two-fers

I usually don’t chintz out like this, but I’m running out of steam, and I do have two posts over on Pink Slip this week that actually relate to marketing. So here goes:

On Monday, I wrote about a “citizens marketer” effort by Wal-Mart that I found interesting (and, surprise-surprise, a bit revolting).

On Tuesday, I reacted to a precious little Williams-Sonoma catalog cozily titled “A Farmstead Thanksgiving.” (Seriously, would Gram-maw back on the family farm have paid $400 for a stockpot? I know it was monogrammed and everything, but….)

As I’ve said on many occasions, I am so darned happy that I’m not a consumer-goods marketer.
