No earthy use

I have this obsession to continually build things. This wouldn’t be so bad, but I build things I never use. I have built a greenhouse where I’ve never grown a plant, an outdoor kitchen where I have never cooked, a workshed where I seldom work, and one small building that has no purpose at all.

Now, I’m doing it again. I’m putting the finishing touches on a sauna. Came in a kit form where you assembled it yourself. Worked on the foundation and deck changes in the early summer, and yesterday morning, two very pleasant Hispanic fellows delivered the cartons. Hardly spoke a word of English, but both smiled when I gave them a cash tip.

Already have the unit assembled and in place. I’ll have to go to Lowe’s in a bit to get some anchor bolts and some screws to finish up the trim. Looks great, but I know it is another project I’ll never use. Maybe a lap pool, a hot tub, or a putting green for my next extravaganza.

Sloppy Marshall

“Get you [sic] tickets below.” Great grammar.

This is a regular occurrence by Marshall. I get email promotions from countless other schools where I have worked or purchased a ticket from, and it’s very rare that they have such obvious spelling/grammar errors. Marshall has them routinely.

What is most frustrating is that it’s not a competency issue. Even volunteer students know what is correct. It’s simply an effort issue, and the effort isn’t there from Marshall.

I co-founded two companies. I was head of multiple departments (including marketing) for a 2800 employee publicly traded company. Even though we had competent staff, I had to give final sign-off on all marketing material regardless if it was a simple social media post or a multi-million dollar Super Bowl commercial. Marshall doesn’t seem to have the effort to put another set of eyes on these basic promotional emails.

To any Marshall athletic staff members:
For absolutely no cost, I will volunteer to review any marketing material before it goes live. I’ll even set up great data and analytics to help you identify where you’re winning and losing based on open rates, click rates, penetration, time engaged, etc. to determine the best and most efficient marketing. All free. Just send me the shit prior to publishing it, and you can quickly start looking like a competent and legitimate higher education institute.

This happens far too often at Marshall. The details matter the most.
