you'd prefer they say, "Yes. Anyone can buy these pieces anywhere these days." or, "...and despite our multi-generational frame building experience, anyone can do this stuff 'cause it's really not that hard to master."
how do you seperate anything related to 'marketing' from "marketing hype/ad copy"? i think that interpreting these things says as much about the reader as it does the writer. and i'm not implicating e-CHUCKIE here. i'm just interested in some casual e-chat about what's fair game when a commercial entity wants to promote itself. i think, all-in-all, framemakers are pretty conservative when it comes to trumping up their wares. e-RICHIE Richard Sachs Cycles No.9, North Main Street Chester, CT 06412 USA http://www.richardsachs.com Tel. 860.526.2059
