With the economy and the election all that people seem to be able to talk about, I thought I’d provide a moment of light-hearted levity.   Can you believe these ads?  I think in some cases here there’s a little TOO MUCH truth in advertising – and in other ads, no truth at all.   That beauty micrometer looks painful.   And who knew Lysol could create such a happy marriage?  Now where does that Lysol go?  WHAT?  Not on the floors or appliances?  Oh my…. http://www.weirdomatic.com/creepy-ads.html  Enjoy.  Focus on the positive.  Control what you can control.  And stay tuned. Subscribe to my workshops newsletter if you haven’t already.  I’m putting together a session, “The 7 Secrets to Small Business Advertising.”  And though I admit my session won’t be nearly as funny as these ads are, you will see big mistakes current day small businesses make all the time.
