Common Sense PR

by Eric Eggertson on May 17th, 2008

In the comments about my podcasting informercial rant, Joseph Jaffe poked fun at the advertisers on this blog.

I’ve never really said anything about the ads, and advertisers because I thought it was self-explanatory.

But Joe’s slightly snarky comment got me thinking that I’ve never openly thanked all those advertisers who support the blog and b5media.

To all the companies that have supported this blog and the b5media business channel,

Thank you!

I’m sure Wal-mart appreciates your gratitude.

And I stand corrected about my slightly snarky comment about the lack of targeting or relevance with respect to your advertising model: The Wal-mart and Eggertson brands are perfectly matched, aligned and suited to one another.

Please accept my apology.

Joseph:

It takes someone with a secure ego to apologize publicly like that. Thanks!

I got busy this weekend and didn’t get around to sending in an audio comment for your podcast. I’ll give it a stab this week.

In the meantime, any suggestions you have for maximizing my affinity with Wal-Mart will be gratefully received.

I don’t think I’m ready to wear a blue vest and cheerfully greet every blog reader, but there must be something I can do to ride the blue wave to fame and fortune.
