[1]October 16, 1969, 45 years ago today. I was watching. I was hooked.
How to build lifetime brand loyalty:
1) Find an impressionable six-year-old.
2) Put him in front of a television.
3) Show him the thing he recently discovered reaching its absolute peak.
4) Show him how happy everybody looks celebrating that ascension.
5) Hope the six-year-old is the type to remain stubbornly moored to that thing as he grows to be seven, seventeen, twenty-seven and so on into eternity…so stubbornly moored that even though repeat instances of that thing’s absolute peak ascension and corresponding celebration are exceedingly rare, he sticks with them forever probably because of what happened when he was six.
Complimentary consulting advice from a professional. Feel free to use it in Kansas City soon and Flushing again.
