I have friends who live in Tinton Falls (for 5yrs now) and just recently found our shops on Cookman, that stay at home mom was there shopping on Monday, she spent money, paid to park, but I had to tell her about Cookman. I shouldn't have to do that How does someone who has lived minutes away from Cookman not know there are stores there? No advertising Plan B is the only business I hear about outside of the TriCity Some others use FB and Twitter, I have NEVER seen any kind of promotional/advertising stuff at any of the train stations (both north and south of AP), that is a travesty, its a goldmine and so easy I could go on about other methods, but I typically charge for this type of consulting work Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "Hinge" <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:58:44 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: 2003 At the moment, the fact is for the past 2 weeks, reality is showing that the demand for those parking spaces during 9 to 5 if virtually non existent. --- In [email protected], cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > Its sounds like a good plan of attack, but I can tell you firsthand that this > type of "guerilla" marketing does not work > > We tried this at a business I managed and it ended up hurting us in the long > run, I lost a lunch crowd and never gained them back, biggest complaint..
