The other day, I received an email from a “promotional services” company asking me to hire them to handle the College’s “recognition” needs. Even if I had the interest in or the authority to do such a thing, I wouldn’t hire this firm, for their email said, “Recognition doesn’t cost, it PAYS! Now more than ever, it’s crucial you keep your name in front of your donors at all times!” and offered this impressively poor sample – with photos pulled directly off the front page of the College website – of their product. It cracks me up every time I look at it.
Those things always look nice at someone’s garage sale.
