However, you’ll be happy to know that since adding the math requirement, spam comments went down to forty-one. That’s a fifty percent drop – which means that not all spammers can add. Besides, I always have my delete key.

I did, however, forget to add a “Idea that worked” to the guerilla marketing list: one presenter said that their best public relations comes from sponsoring an outdoor concert series each summer. Once a week they have a band, magician, or some kind of performer in a park in the town center, which are always well attended.

As for the ideas, I liked the fan message, too (especially since our air conditioning went out frequently last summer). And the placemat one – I think that’d be great. Advertising on craigslist is also intriguing – it would work best only for certain kinds of events, but I want to try it as soon as I can.

“I stay cool at the library” – I love that. :)

It was a great conference, indeed. Thanks for feeding me yesterday!
