691998 2008-07-25 03:49:00 So guys I've decided I need a "Marketing Plan". Not a where shall I place an ad, a Marketing PLan, capital letters.

Rather tricky as budget is small to nil, so I guess Saatchi and Saatchi TV ads are out...........

Any cheap ideas?

Friend suggested as I am next door to a certain politician that I should somehow drag him into it, but I was thinking of some credibility and MPs don't go hand in hand with that............

Easy, get the politician to invest in your business, pocket the money, deny you ever received it, claim it is all a media conspiracy, and when his lawyers finally uncover that you did receive it, blame it all on someone else.

Less of marketing plan than a scam, granted, but it's a proven winner.

Or start up a finance company to fund your businesses, and get a politican to promote the company on TV, to sponsor One News Weather, to bring in the mumm and dad investors. Works for some.

692005 2008-07-25 04:43:00 Get VSX to support your opposition - not only will you get their customers, you can buy their stock at the bankruptcy sale. ;) R2x1 (4628)
