Rules Of The Game

We all love freebies.
Whether it’s a product sample in the supermarket, a month’s free trial of an online service, or a free gift with purchase.
It’s a chance to try something out and see if there’s a place for it in our lives.
So why are we so surprised that clients have the same mentality?
Selecting an agency is a major undertaking.
We shouldn’t hold it against them that they want to take us for a ‘no obligation’ test drive first.
The hungrier we are, the more impressed they’ll be.
When you’ve got a great offering, you should be proud to give a little ‘show and tell’.
If nothing else, it’s a chance to show off.
And who doesn’t love that?
Ultimately, if you’re not prepared to play, you can’t expect to win the game.
It’s your choice.
And a funny old game.
