Should I or shouldn't I? That is the question. Small businesses verses big box stores? Home decor magazines not supporting small business. Young reporters and the young media type will only support their own. My thoughts..my experiences...my frustrations. Yes...this is a dilemma and a shame. Encountering and trying to be noticed by decor magazines is difficult. If you do not purchase advertising, then they will not consider doing an article on you. A few years back, I contacted a local Westmount newspaper. I was told that I need to purchase advertising before they will do an article on the business. This I did. Yes, they did an article, with 3-4 sentences, hidden away. Lesson learned. This, of course, starts making you question your work. Is it not good enough? What am I doing wrong? Is it my age? Yes, I am in my 50's. Are others doing the same thing? Yes, but not at the caliber I am. As I have been told time and again. Only because of what I believe in, my stubborness and tenacity, has kept me pushing ahead. Bit by bit...day by day. I truly believe that being in my 50's, I have earned my badge to speak my mind with honesty. This is one of those honest times. Your thoughts? |
