Well not really 'a day'. In fact it doesn't specify which day. Just "A DAY". You will get a 'thought' when there is one worth getting. Maybe I should rename the site "Try to have a thought a day" YOU CAN HAVE 'MARKETING THOUGHT A DAY' RSS FEEDBLITZ EMAILED TO YOU BY VISITING WWW.MICHAELKIELYMARKETING.COM.AU AND SIGNING ON FOR THE SERVICE. (Not every day, thought. You won't ready them all.)

Made In China? Look out!

The brand "Made in China" is taking a belting in its overseas markets. Their exported manufactured goods are getting press like this in the US:

"HOMELAND INSECURITY
Is China trying to poison Americans and their pets?
U.S. market flooded with foods unfit for humans, tainted with carcinogens, pesticides, bacteria, drugs..." The Government official who took bribes to allow the manufacture of pharmaceuticals that killed people has been sentenced to death. Children's toys are being recalled at unprecedented rates.

If your product is manufactured in China, does location feature in your risk management strategy?

COPY SCHOOL IS IN

OK, HOW DOES IT SOUND TO YOU?

To me it doesn't sound like a person. It sounds like a machine. Would a person say this to me? If Xanthe had imagined we were having a telephone conversation, she'd have had a better result.

Other defects (areas for improvement)? PICK THE OTHER FLAWS IN THIS EMAIL AND TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE AND WHY VIA COMMENTS BELOW
