SC: Where’s your truck parking?
Me: We don’t have any on site, but there’s a vacant restaurant parking lot next door where you can…
SC: You mean you don’t have truck parking on site? I don’t want to leave my rig over at some vacant lot! This is ridiculous! I never read anywhere that you don’t have truck parking? Why don’t you advertise that you don’t have truck parking?
Um, yeah, ‘cause advertising what we don’t have makes so much sense. Apparently the lack of the truck icon next to our directory listing which you are so desperately clutching in your hands wasn’t enough of a hint.
But hey, if the customer is always right, then I’ll go inform Marketing that customers now want us to advertise the amenities we DON’T have. Let me just draft up the new ad and run it by them, m’kay?
<Brand Name Motel>
What we DON’T offer is:
Truck Parking
Doing your taxes
Walking your dog
Cleaning your house
Chewing your food
Doing your homework
Changing the oil in your car
Blow jobs (note: that’s an SC story for another day…)
Juggling chainsaws for your entertainment
Wiping your ass
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
Yeah, I don’t think we get enough ad space to list all the services we DON’T offer. I’m pretty sure despite your complaint that we’re going to continue to do the logical thing and just stick to advertising the amenities we DO offer!
