		<description>Hi Michele,

It sounds like you&#039;re doing great considering the market you&#039;re in. I have a copywriting client who does very high end architectural items - crown molding and stuff. They&#039;re doing well, but they&#039;re busting their asses to do it. It&#039;s the other guys, the ones who don&#039;t update their site or provide good information or follow-up, those are the ones in the unemployment line.

Keep up the good work, and let me know if I can help.</description>

		<description>Naomi,
Great input on interruption marketing!  My son, Dave who manages my site has suggested the same thing to me.  You are right, people don&#039;t care until they have an urgency.  For me this past week, three calls came in from different areas of marketing. 1.  From them googling interior designer and finding my site.  2.  Putting up a blog on OC Register news (California Orange County) about a color seminar at my office for a small fee of $25 (must have six participants) and 3.  Dropped cards at a local paint store and a woman in panic state to choose colors before the painter comes.  

I guess in my case, it would be how sick of their home are they and how much they need me is my guess.  Other than that, they truly don&#039;t need me - I&quot;m a luxury in this slow housing market especially.
So, I guess I&#039;ll be blogging every day and dropping cards at the paint stores.</description>

		<description>Hi Steve, I&#039;m glad you liked it. You&#039;re right - interruption marketing just makes people mad nowadays. Can you believe there are entire ad agencies devoted to creating TV ads that still get the message across while the viewer is fast forwarding with their TiVo? Craziness.

Thanks for stopping by the blog. I hope to see you again.</description>

		<description>Hey great title for the post. The key these days is to get peoples attention first and foremost. People are saturated with media, you actually have to get them to watch the ad first before they decide if they like the product or message etc. Thats the real task</description>
