When I think of "guerilla marketing" I think of clever product placement
that gets people thinking about a product without looking like advertising.
One thing I've heard of is joining an online community where you know
the target market hangs out. You either use two accounts or you do it
with a partner. You start a conversation about a problem, and then your
product is mentioned as a solution. You could mention it alongside
other well known products to try to equate yours with theirs in the
customer's mind.
ChuckOneEleventyOne: "Aw geez I keep losing equipment to nearby
lightning strikes."
Chuckster: "I like Transtector LPU's, but there's this upstart guy named
Chuck with disruptive pricing on ethernet Surge Suppressors."
ChuckOneEleventyOne: "Hmm...I've heard of Transtector. Is this Chuck
guy's product just as good?"
Chuckster: "Probably"
ChuckOneEleventyOne: "Is Chuck easy to purchase from, and have good
support?"
Chuckster: "I think so."
Chuckinator: "I met Chuck once, and he's a swell guy. I would buy from
him before a faceless machine like Transtector!"
As far as I understood, that's guerilla marketing.

Chuck, you really need to learn a little more about spam. You
asked if it would offend. Rule # 1 of spam is f&%k the targets
feelings.
What you should be doing is harvesting from all these lists and
selling the contact info to some ukranian kid
I suppose next your going to tell us when we order stuff from you
you ARENT selling our contact info to one group and our financial
info to another.
Thats not how this works, thats not how any of this works.

Constant contact is OK… we use it… however, certain
firewall appliances / spam software blatantly block
anything from their mail servers. About 6% on our last CC
mailing

I spend some time each day trying to figure out how to get
my products marketed.
Have a nice new shiny paper catalog just about done and
will be mailing it to those interested.
My question is -----
Is spam dead? I have several nice lists of people (all of
you included). If I sent a brief note to several thousand
people saying something like:
Dear (Spam Target):
Thanks for attending Animal Farm.Wispapalloza/ etc
etc. I have a new catalog (available here url pdf etc).
Would you like to receive a real one in the mail?
With all my best wishes (over the top complementary
closing etc).
Chuck
Would that offend?
Would that get scraped off by gmail etc?
Is there a better way?
