And Other Brand-Building Mysteries Explained

I'm not at all sure this belongs in off-topic, since it really is marketing related - but I couldn't figure if it was online, offline, general or whatever... so any Mod is welcome to move it.

Any rate, an excellent post by Martin Lindstrom on the subject of marketing and fear. I just had got a few ideas from it, hope you will too.

  Course it can! Did you know that the Government had to step in and stop people short selling the FTSE when it was on the way down because they were people making hundreds of thousands of pounds a day doing this.

  I don't think using a condom to conceal a receding hairline would really work - even in good times.
