Creative Marketing

Prologue - I don't normally like to do this because it could appear as if I'm trying to create barriers but in today's entry I use 'we' and 'they' a lot. If you're a part of the 'they' group then I hope you're not offended and can appreciate what I'm trying to say. If you're a part of the 'we' group I kinda don't care if you get offended.

This is the age of advertising.

Every day marketing shouts louder, comes faster, bellows more belligerent, paints brighter, grows glitzier, raging relentless on its path toward utter ubiquity. Advertising is everywhere.

So how can Christianity compete? We can’t. And it’s arrogant to think we can. Why arrogant? Because we would have to spend so much money, and shout so loud, and be so obnoxious in order to drown out the other voices that we would come across arrogant. (which we already do in many cases) Which, of course, means we’ve won the battle but lost the war. (which we already have in many cases)

Seriously, what non-Christian do you know wants a 'loud’ version of Christianity?

They’re sick of all the loud, neon-spam just as much as you. They want something different. Now that’s what Christianity can give… something different. What would that be? How about…

Peace
Inner strength
Conviction
Humility
Truth
Grace

Sounds like a babe in a manger to me.

That’s creative marketing.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
