Be the Ball!

I was again called today by a lady that asked me if I already looked at the brochures they sent me by mail. So I looked.
The brochures offer various products from herbs. Everything from stuff you consume (algae capsules) to “herbal” hair shampoos. It’s not long ago when I was very interested in herbs, wild food, eco-farming but I would never buy from this company. Not only that their products could be categorized as “be-healthy mumbo jumbo“, but the name of the company that sells this products is called **** Trade.
If I will ever buy herbal products, I will buy it from “Herbalist” company not “Trade” company. If you sell Herbs be the herbalist, if you want to sell me IT, be the IT specialist. Be the ball!
(This is a rant and a post about marketing, if you lie, lie well!)

But at least the name is honest! With some Herb- companies, they’re trying to convince you that their sole purpose is to help you with healthy products, and the only reason they accept money from you is because they use it to feed starving kids around the world …

yes, I agree with you.. my post is sort of flipped backwards on itself. Luckily, because of their marketing not-smartness they are less “evil” than they could of been
