Marketing On Bad News Days

A few years ago,
I held the stance
that I shouldn’t promote
products/services
on bad news days in the US.

I’ve had to
change that stance.

Why?

Because there is
a bad news story
almost
EVERY day in the US.

A certain leader
ensured that happened.
He knew
bad news was attention-gaining news
so
he created it.
EVERY day.
Even during a pandemic.

This tactic was extremely successful,
so successful
that I doubt it will change in the future.
Someone will always seek
to use it.

We have to promote
(respectfully)
now
on bad news days.

We don’t have a choice
about that.
