Skymall bought out by a bunch of colan cleanse / green coffee slingers?



When I see your name I always think it says "secretgrandad" ;)

Nothing to do with the thread of course, just thought I'd mention it!
 
so, THAT's what I am supposed to do with nutra monies..
1. sling berriez
2. Lose monies to locked-up reserve funding holds by merchant processor
3. Pump and dump my own stock to get cashflow
4. Buy out well-known catalog slinging automatic pet-wateringing dishes and Hobbit sword replicas to bored flyers
5. ?????
6. Profit!
 
if youve flipped through skymall in the past 1-2 years nutra advertisers have been buying out full page ads with "studies" etc that im sure have been smashing. a full page ad is 129k according to that article.

129k for 3 months is only 1300 orders over 3 months at $100 an order average cps to break even revenue wise. If you couldnt get 1300 orders in 3 months off skymall, you screwed up bad.
 
Very interesting story.
My guess is skymall isn't as profitable as the article author was led to believe. That is the only reason I can think of why they would merge with glorified web developers.

IT"S ALL ABOUT THE CLOUDDDDD MAN!
 
damn g5 must have ran an ad in skymall.

I was like " that sounds like some Wickedfire Genius shit...."
 
skymall has good product copywriting, i think this everytime i pick one up

This is the manual typewriter that recalls the thoughtful, well-written correspondence of yesteryear. Devoid of technological crutches such as spell-check and deletion, each of its 44 keys requires a firm, purposeful stroke for a steady click-clacking cadence that encourages the patient, considered sentiment of a wordsmith who thinks before writing. Using a 10-characters-per-inch Pica 87 font, it faithfully reproduces the eclectic printed impressions of its forebears--variable kerning, subtly ghosted letters, and nuanced baseline shifts--imparting unique, personal character to every letter, piece of prose, or verse of poetry.

Selling a fucking typewriter for $200

Does it get any better than this?
 
They really do have amazing copywriters. I remember laughing so hard at the way they eloquently described a hot dog toaster.
