Drew McLellan runs a marketing agency in Des Moines that publishes a great blog.
Here’s a post I especially like. It’s one in a series of seven posts about Walt Disney and the habits/beliefs that drove his success. In this post, he explores the power of questions. Valuable lessons if you want to understand and connect with your prospects and clients.

Warning: Don’t Watch This if You Don’t Like Poo Jokes
Consider yourself warned. This video is titled “Girls Don’t Poop” (which of course isn’t true). It’s an ad for an air freshener called Poo~Pourri. And it’s hilarious. Chock full of great poo puns (if you dare to watch this, let me know your favorite).
Seriously, though, this is a great marketing piece. Pay attention to the part about their Amazon sales numbers and reviews. Great example marketing proof.
