what is with these press releases for events leaving out the #1 fact they should convey in the first sentence: where the f%@k they are!??!?
OK, i guess if you are near Kicki Horse, you know and this is who the release is geared towards, but what about everyoen else? half the time i see these it si like "wow, that is cool, i want to check that out. *click* *click* *click* hmm, where is this? *click**click**click* oh, New Zealand? Shiz. went there on vacation last year but didn't know this was there..."
yeah, it is nit-picking and just generally complaining, but it is super annoying. i will shut up now.
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located in Golden BC Canada (about 3 hours west of Calgary Alberta) For next season we will make sure the event release is sent out a good couple months in advance. If you can’t make it up this weekend, head out in June and come for a rip in the Bike Park.
Cheers from the media guy.
is exactly my point. advertising should not always target existing customers, right?
even going to their webpage is a pain in the ass to figure out where it is... kind of basic information that should be at the top of the list of "things to get across"... but i digest...
Way to represent!
