Vantage PointStrategic marketing concepts and business observations. Small business start-up experiences. Thursday, July 17, 2003To Home Shopping Network:Today's St. Petersburg Times has an article about a woman who won an Olympic Gold medal in 1988 in sailing. She lives on Davis Island and is working towards competing next year in Greece. She believes her biggest hurdle is money - she needs $16k for a boat - and is looking for a sponsor. She may be perfect for HSN! A local person, age 46, has worked as computer programmer and medical transcriber, is divorced, mother of 11 year-old girl, scout troop leader, physically fit, etc. Go for it! You could reap tons of free publicity on this one. You can probably find her through Mary Jo Melone, the reporter, mjlelone@sptimes.com, 813 226 3402, or the Davis Island Yacht Club. If you are interested, you should act quickly. At least interview her and make certain she is suitable. St. Pete Times Article .: posted by Carol Gamel - Carol@GoldenStarFruit.com 3:00 PM| |
