ALL press is good press

About three weeks ago I got a call from WOWK TV about an interview for their business section. We scheduled a meeting and I made sure the truck was completely cleaned and I had a batch of fudge for samples of what you could do with Chiammaya Chocolate.

I was all ready and I got a call from the reporter that she was covering a murder trial and could we re-schedule. Sure that would be fine ( I'd just eat all that fudge myself!)

We re-scheduled and the day we were to meet again, she called and said she'd never had to reschedule before but the trial was going to jury and she had to stay there.

Yesterday we FINALLY made it, but what a day!

I walked out to my car first thing in the morning, opened the door and saw the glove box opened and all the papers scattered. I'D BEEN ROBBED!!!

The police were called but they didn't know when they could come to take a report so I went on to work. I pulled up in front of my office and my cell phone rang. The police were at my front door, where was I?

So I turned around and went back home and gave a report. Since I had serial numbers they gave me a 5% chance of recovery. Just about what I had expected. So now back to work.

It was about 10 after 9  when I got a call to confirm that we were on for the WOWK interview at 9:30. NINE THIRTY I exclaimed! I thought we were scheduled for 1:00. I checked my cal lender and sure enough it was scheduled for 9:30.

I hustled BACK home and got ready with time to spare. The interview went well and I asked when it would air. She suggested 6, or 7 and then again at 11.

WOW that's fast. She called about 1:30 and said for sure at 7 and 11 so I set the DVR.

I checked my web tracking site about 3:30. The story hadn't aired yet and I already had nearly 50 hits, ALL from the WOWK web site! NEVER underestimate the power of the press.

Today, after the WOWK piece ran twice I got a call form the Charleston Daily Mail, we have an interview set for Monday. MAN, THIS IS GREAT!
