…is when presenters ask for materials just for the sake of asking for materials. Are they redecorating their offices with these things?? Collecting Christmas gifts for their cousins?<\/p>\n
Here’s an e mail that came into IMG from one of The King’s Singers’ 2010 presenters:<\/p>\n
We are still looking for the following materials and would greatly appreciate them or the appropriate forms as soon as possible. The materials we are looking for are as follows. CDs, DVDs, TV and Radio spots, handbills, posters, the name of any opening act(s), and a play list if that is known at this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This e mail was forwarded to me, and I wrote back that I would put CDs and DVDs in the mail, and could design a flyer for them to print locally if necessary. The woman from the marketing department responded:<\/p>\n
We are just looking for what was in the original e-mail that Brett sent you. Just incase you didn’t see it, were looking for CDs, DVDs, TV and Radio spots, handbills, posters, the name of any opening act(s), and a play list if it is known at this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Oh I saw it, sister. But it’s The King’s Singers<\/i>; they don’t have an OPENING ACT. Or a “play list”. And are you really going to buy TV ad time? Because if you are, I will help you with a TV spot, but I’m not going to produce and send spots that have no chance of seeing the light of the TV screen. I just wish presenters would think about some kind of marketing plan before sending these e mails to management. “We’d love 50 posters to hang around campus<\/i>.” “Do you have radio spots for our local classical station<\/i>?” <\/p>\n
Help me, help you, help my artists.<\/p>\n
