Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers Into Friends And Friends Into Customers (Audiobook)
Whether it is the TV commercial that breaks into our favourite programme or the telemarketing phone call that disrupts a family meal, traditional advertising is based on the hope of snaring our attention away from whatever we are doing. Seth Godin calls this Interruption Marketing, and, as companies are discovering, it no longer works.
Home for Alexander, an artist, is a small bothy on a remote mountain in Scotland. One day, his peace is shattered when he returns home to find some strangers waiting for him. After a scuffle, he is left for dead with only the wind and the words, "Where is it?" ringing in his ears.
Because I Said So!: The Truth Behind the Myths, Tales, and Warnings Every Generation Passes Down to Its Kids
Ken Jennings is here to tell us that mother and father didn't always know best. Yes, all those years you were told not to sit too close to the television (you'll go blind!), or swallow your gum (it stays in your stomach for seven years!), or crack your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our country's leading trivia guru. Jennings separates myth from fact to humorously debunk a wide variety of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, sit up straight, don't talk to strangers, you'll get worms from cookie dough, and so on.
Becky and Zach are cousins chatting via the internet. Becky has some words of wisdom for Zach because, as we all know, "the internet is full of strangers". She points out to Zach that he should never give out personal information to anyone he doesn't know, that he should not open e-mails from strangers and not download stuff without permission, and that anyone can pretend that they are a kid having fun on the internet. This instructional book is aimed at children rather than adults (but adults can use it, too!). A teacher's guide with worksheets is included.
