Connections Post 3

While Christmas shopping at the mall, I was bombarded by the usual in your face obnoxious kiosk worker.  The guy tried to force some mediocre random junk into my hands as I was walking by.

In class we learned that personal selling is the most effective form of the promotion mix because of the ability to adapt a "pitch" to a customer.  It also happens to be the most expensive form of promotion, if an employee can not recognize that I am not part of their target market, and fails to adapt a pitch well enough for me to even pretend to take interested in the product he is selling...  They are probably wasting their money.
