Re: A Marketing Puzzle For You
 

Skip,

Perfect. I will call Sharon as soon as I have a book to send her. My friend found a couple typos. I told him not to worry about it, they're buried in the book, but he's having a reprint done. I'll let you know how this works as soon as I have results.

I really appreciate your help.

Phil,

Thanks. That Susan Horrow link has a lot of good info. Definitely moves us forward a couple squares.

I have found 2 real good possibilities so far for that Oprah connection. Weird ... one of them is Noreen, who used to sit in front of me in homeroom in high school. She just put together our 50-year junior high class reunion. If you keep telling people what you want, you run into stuff.

Also ... Oprah & HARPO Productions have an interesting policy. They accept delivery of no fan mail and no packages of any kind. Anything they get is immediately returned to sender. And you can't call up and talk to anyone there unless you have an actual name. I'm sure there's some key to unlock that puzzle, but I haven't found it yet.

Again, thanks for Susan Horrow.

Margaret,

Wow - thank you. Those are terrific connections.

Funny you mentioned the top ... yesterday we talked with "the best friend of" the President of a cable network, a person who knows Oprah. We're optimistic this may be the connection that does it ... but I'm starting work on the ones you pointed out here, just in case.

Thanks,

Richard Dennis
