Day,
I agree...a kisosk at the mall (not the Franklin, KY. mall) would have done much better and been much more efficient. I actually think the event (2 guys competeing in front of a TV was the dud) needed more sparkle...there was no real show...


anyway, I applaud the travel team for giving it a go, all of theose podcasts were kinda depressing (no people)...must of beeen an incredible grind.


The RV looked pretty cool, but just like the website, it needed a very clear "call to action" that you cannot overlook. As a business owner, I am not sure I would have borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars (diluting millions of shares) to give this a try...think about the ads that would have bought.

the only reason I am not running for the door is the ads...they will get results with ads...there were a few of us that posted weekly about the fact that GZ is an on-line company and will appeal to those who surf the net, and finally they are covering the internet and it will bring in subs...and as far as end of the year results: they better be at 35K subs or they will not make it..PERIOD.

day, you claim, ineffective, lack of crowds, MOSTLY poor venues, confusing dates, changing schedules.

now hoe can you say mostly poor venues, jet ski, boston, and the air show all had a lot of people in the area. 3 stops at the midnight gaming, 3 football games, 10 mcdonalds.... probably part of the deal. they also had radio stations at multiple stops, dont you think the radio station may have said on air we where there? that is only looking at the first 23 stops, I would say well over half of those stops where decent venues. mcdonalds has tons of people going in and out per hour. but that doesnt show well on video because they are not all there at once.

you dont have substantial evidence the bus tour isnt effective, unless you judge something off a 45 second video. but I wouldnt call that substantial. and how do you factor in the traveling billboard? you cant tell me that doesnt get thousands of eyes per day.

its hard to judge the results of any marketing being that they have marketing in many different areas.

some will assume the bus is working, some will assume it isnt. but the subs did grow quite a bit in spetember, the month the bus went out. coincidence? maybe, maybe not.
