Your readers would be super sorry if your stance on marketing stuff were ever to change, but.. have you never been tempted, just a teeny little bit..?

I'm going to chuckle for a while about the phrase "ambitious world tour". So they're not expecting him to sell many tickets, I guess...

Personally, I would be tempted to mock-up a post-unable-to-deliver-return-mail e-mail and send that every time.

I'd hate to do marketing/sales, a job where most people say no, yet you still have to maintain the same level of cheerfulness.
Having worked alongside some of these people, the good ones are really impressive, you just wouldn't want to spend your own time with them.

Hi DG, I hope that you're well.
You could always respond to these with a pre-prepared long message of ailments, major and minor. It might not shut them up, but it would at least serve them right for such an insincere enquiry about the state of your health.

Anyone who sends me an "invite" instead of an "invitation" is off to a bad start...........

Harry and Lucy and Hannah
And Natalie, Merlin and Beth
And Morven and Feven
(where do they get those names from?)
Are out of luck wheth-
er they want to flog eggs or guidebooks
or twitter about the ballet
They all want one thing
It's free marketing
But DG is not going to play!

Can't help thinking Morven, Feven and Merlin's parents had higher things in mind for their little darlings. Can't you just see them, fifteen - twenty years ago with their delightfully tousled curls, mini Breton sweaters and Osh Kosh dungarees....

"strategy to pivot into dialogue-platforms" what on earth does that mean?

Funny how they never seem to offer any money for these adverts.

Was it the content of the guidebook or simply the fact that someone in marketing suggested it that was the issue? Guidebooks in general seem right up the DG readers' street....

W1A's Siobhan Sharpe made flesh, especially Harry and Beth.

There appears to be rather a surfeit of 'reaching out'. They ought to form a Four Tops covers band.

I agree that most of these "invites" are cringeworthy, but what happens DG if someone invites you to something you would actually find interesting (a visit to Mail Rail for instance)? Would you turn it down on principle?
dg writes: Yup. Almost never happens, though.

A related 'what if' - in the event that you wanted access to an event or a location that was sold out or hard to get into, would you get in touch mentioning your blog and the profile of its 'dialogue platform' audience? I imagine not.

I recently had a marketing email asking me to do something on my site for them.
I replied basically saying "Why on earth would I want to do that?"
The PR person seemed to be genuinely amazed that I didn't see the "benefits" of doing what she wanted.
Amazing these people.
