Never mind. I think we are talking about two different things. I don't want a card. I looked at the film because you asked me to. And I told you what I thought, like you asked. That's all I was doing. Sorry for the confusion.

This has taken this forum where I did not want it to go. I want to talk about creative ways to advertise your business.

I tried to watch it full screen and it was hard to see the card. I didn't mind the line. I think you end on the grocery line.

Dear Iwrite: Since I value your opinion I wanted to know if you felt the short film on my site was shocking or if I should redo it?

FYI: I just got some great news and I can hardly contain myself. One of my products will be made available as a gift item through one of my favorite tv shows...way cool! if you'd like to know more, just ask

Val_Cards,

To be honest, I didn't watch the film. I am not a fan of the "hard sell." If you want me to entertain using your business or service - educate me, tell me something I don't know, talk to me. Don't always close trying to get me to do something.

I practice what I preach. I need a message to convince me to take action. I understand that I'm not in the norm, but this is who I am. I reward smart and creative advertising with my attention and participation. I ignore everything else. You should see me at a car dealership or large retailer. I have no time for bad sales people.

I try not to buy or sell on this forum. I'm here for the conversation and information. Please understand that I am not being negative, simply explaining how I am. Let this forum get to know you and we will seek you out when we need your services or product.

Dear Iwrite: Is the Val-Card short film offensive to viewers when it mentions toilet paper? I'm trying to sign up Fresh & Easy Stores...is there one in your neighborhood? visit: http://www.val-card.org/val-cards/

Thank you. I have to smile. I should have seen that coming - someone using guerilla marketing on my post! Nice.

I can't stop laughing. You got me this time.

Any suggestions that don't end in someone doing business with you?
