>My take at shopping nowadays is: don't try to sell anything to me, you'll only make me think of how much of that advertising cost am I paying with the product, and how much cheaper would it be if you didn't advertise. But when I want to buy something, then be available, tell me straight what you have, no small print, no private data harvesting, no "call for price", no "we'll send a quote to your email" or other schemes. Show me your wares, make your web shop easily searchable. And make sure that {yourCompanyNameHere}sucks.com doesn't have anything serious on you.
And I've decided to put the ramblings I wrote in this thread all together in today's blog at
http://drfairday.blogspot.com/2007/11/goodbye-sfbc.htmlSo it's now all in one place and you don't have to read all of this spread around the thread (or if you already did, can do again :).
