Verax, I see mrib, their stock, operations, management, etc. and the business of offering them a targeted marketing opportunity exclusive and unrelated. I may not think much of the company as reflected in my posts but business is business. If they've got disposable marketing dollars to give to Zodiac for cheesey non impact events my thought was offering a high impact national event that fits a spirits company perfectly might be great for MRIB. Perhaps they associated me with the proposal and just don't like me! Wouldn't hold that against them but what it comes down to this board is one thing but business is business and MRIB bang for the buck on exposure. And the sponsorship offered was not very expensive. Matter of fact, it was downright cheap on a relative basis. I would venture to bet it was less than what zodiac and Seattle Sound got.
I would just like to see Maranifollow through on promises of national exposure and gave them an easy entry and opportunity that was dismissed and I would question why. Perhaps their marketing program is set and this opportunity only came into play bat a month ago but no response at all is disappointing given the loft goals and promises that have been made to shareholders regarding national rollout. I'll certainly continue to ping them on it as we have three more events this year, all with the same media coverage program. Maybe someone seen less as a villain making the suggestin to MRIB might open their eyes to the opportunity and what national TV can do for a consumer brand like Marani. Cheers.
