I am tired of “interruption” marketing.
Maybe I am being spoiled by the new web, and how I can pick what I want interact with through blogs, RSS feeds, and sites like Amazon that put the stuff I am interested in right in front of my eyes.
Mall Kiosks are the perfect example of the worse kind of marketing I can imagine. You know who I am talking about, the creepy lotion one where to two over zealous staff try to try out the lotion and come at you like they are going to rub it on you whether you like it or not. The gallent of cell phone kiosks that approach you and ask you every time if you have a cell phone and if you want a new/better plan, and on and on.
We don’t rudely interrupt other people, in fact we teach out kids not to. And yet, some how there are a pack of morons who think this is the way to do business. Even if I really wanted what they had to offer, they are so offensive to my senses and comfort in making a purchase, I would go somewhere else to get it.
Any one else tired of getting interrupted and accosted while just trying to walk through the mall??
