Default What's Your #1 Frustration With Offline Marketing

Just curious to hear everyone's opinion.

For me, its the cost of mailing out sales letters. How about you?

For me, it's having business owners expecting miracles for the lowest possible investment.

Yea, unreasonable price expectations tend to be a frustration of mine. Or just not having enough time to actually do everything I'd like. I'd like to be able to visit a lot more businesses in person, I just don't have the time to do it.

Advertising sales rep’s are my pet hate… occasionally I’ll purchase some offline advertising in a trade journal, directory, newspaper or whatever… and you can bet whatever you like that as soon as the publication is out… I’ll have at least six different advertising sales guys trying to sell me advertising… sometimes that can be more than the number of people responding to the advertisement itself.

I'm a virtual office assistant. This is still a new term in our area, so it's constantly explaining what I do, only to be considered a temp agency and having to explain it again.

Getting mail and calls from people trying to sell me things based on what they think our companies do. All you have to do is sign up for a trade show and you'll be inundated with people wanting to sell you something, move your stuff, or provide you with the one great thing (it never is) that will make you a hit at the show. Drives me nuts.

Other people that see me, or my service somewhere, and ask me to help sell their stuff.
Especially when their stuff is crap, or has nothing to do with what I do.
