The fault with A lies with the rep who doesn't set the right expectation to the client. Some clients seem to think that when the van shows up, with the traded out pizza and cokes that buses will pull up loaded with people. Sales reps should make it clear that what you're getting here is some street visibility, and to monopolize the airways for a couple of hours. B- I honestly think that ANY station can do a remote ANY where. The problem becomes that it's Saturday, the sales rep "has a liiiife....gooossshhhhhh", and doesn't show up to help orchestrate or didn't put together a plan beforehand, leaving me to show up to a guy I've NEVER MET, to try to figure out our fun and whacky game plan for the day... C - HOW MANY TIMES have I been in front of K-Mart for Pepsi....not for the LAUNCH of a new Pepsi product....THAT we could make work w/ some free samples....but more like 2 hours of "Hey, we're at Wal-Mart where you can get 12 packs for just 3 bucks, and .99 cent 2 liter bottles".... Always good stuff dude....keep it comin tjk Boy, B and C were RIGHT ON THE MONEY Dan! The fault with A lies with the rep who doesn’t set the right expectation to the client.

I would agree though, remotes are thrown in as "added value" likely far too much. I don't think the draw is there as it once used to be.

You said "well-designed advertising campaign", what does that mean? Is that similar to "get their signature on the contract no matter what"? you used some strange words there Dan, I wonder if you would illucidate on them.
