Today's Lesson on The Power of Publicity

[Floyd Fisher]

Got a feeling this one is going to boomerang, and make this guy tons of money.

Now, this guy already has a website up, but I'm not linking it because I don't want to jinx this guy.

Any bets on how long it takes for this to start reverberating in talk radio, making this guy more money than he knows what to do with?


Note: Please keep politics out of this, I want to look at this from a business perspective ONLY. I'll be updating this as the story gets picked up so we can study how well he's doing.

This guy is going to also make money from his lawsuit if he should sue.

Whatever happened to the first amendment?

Doesn't apply on private property especially when it's not your own.

But that's not what this thread is about, we are just watching a website using free publicity this will generate rocket into the stratosphere as the news gets picked up worldwide.

So instead of trying to make this political, just grab your popcorn and watch OK?

Hi Floyd,

Yep. It's a great and inspiring lesson. All you need to do is cause a premeditated, carefully orchestrated ruckus.

"If they have decided to make their malls conservative/libertarian free zones, where those opinions can't be expressed, I do think it's their right to do that, but it's our rights to publicize the fact that they are doing that," he said.



If the issue is about causing offense, he told us, the mall should police other stores. Spivack sent NewsChannel 36 pictures of several T-shirts and banners from novelty stores at the mall that were so crude we've chosen not to share them.



"What I think the mall should have done if they thought that we were expressing one set of ideas and not another, is that they should have gotten another store to come in and sell their ideas," he said. "I would've been all in favor of that. I would have helped them move in."

Absolutely brilliant marketing plan. Heaps of fundamental persuasion/polarisation principles at work. That's not just publicity...

Nice one Floyd.
