Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys This kind of thing never seemed to me a judicious use of advertising dollars.
First off, how many eyeballs are even going to see a practice jersey? They don't wear them in preseason games, do they?
So the only people who are going to see the logo are those who physically attend practice, and apparently you won't even be able to really tell what it is unless you're pretty close.
Maybe it'll show up in a photo now and then in the sports section of the newspaper or on ESPN or something.
Still, of the relatively few people who even see or notice it, what percentage of them are going to think, "Hey, look! Atlantic Health! I think I'll just rush right on over there and sign up!"
But . . . . I suppose that's why I'm not a marketing guy. (Thank God.)

kudos:6 | I could never be a marketing guy either even though one of the most successful guys I know has been in that most of his life and is also a very successful restaurant owner..
I realize advertising and sponsorship is necessary but I can't stand how commercialism has taken over so much..It is one of the main reasons I don't watch television on a regular basis..
The older I become the more I get the idea of going into the woods to live somewhere...Kind of like the Unabomber lifestyle... but without the bomb fetish.  |

$40 per month is not "free"-- not in the world I live in, anyway.
And I consider that a fair deal, btw.
Though I'm sure Verizon and every other company on this Earth would appreciate it if I still saw advertising from them anyway, I don't.
Yet Verizon still gets their 40 bucks every month-- so don't tell me it's advertising that makes the "Intarweb free". |

It's like there's an echo in here.
