    Got talking to a neighbour recently about design and marketing.

    Family business (son) that turns over £8.4m and has the worst set of comms I've seen in ages.

    Convo developed into doing a proposal for his company website that he 'took down' because he didn't like it. He has a holding page up, but google still picks up all the old live pages. Fucking mess.

    'I don't want to spend much.'

    Fair enough, you don't need to really, it still sort of works. Suggested turning it into a two pager with a list of services, contacts, newsletter signup. Done. Full proposal sent, cost peanuts.

    'Cool. Can we do it before Xmas. Can you send me some samples'

    So I send my credentials doc.

    No response after a week.

    I follow up again. Still no response.

    Geezer lives across the road and won't even email me back.

    Hilarious.

    I laugh because I suspect he thinks I'd do it for free and didn't actually read the proposal.

    • I couldn't really say no. Wanted to. Glad I don't have to now. ha.monoboy

    • Ask him if he'll give you a few thousand bucks worth of whatever the fuck they sell or do and see how that goes down.BusterBoy
    • That'd be cool. They supply huge construction machines, diggers, JCBs etc. Love a go.monoboy
