Doing my routine blog surfing, when out of nowhere, all up in my business are half a dozen action-posed teens blocking my view of TPM posts.  Then they all get sucked up into the banner ad at the top of the page – a Circuit city banner for some sort of Wii commercial... I don't even know.  I didn't care to look.

Circuit City, no one shops at you, you get aggressively bought out by Blockbuster, and you're a crappy store – a corner-crowding denizen of trashy, half-abandoned strip malls. 

The answer to this sinking ship is to assess how you can win customers.  How you can improve on meeting an ever-evolving consumer market.  The answer is certainly not to get even more annoying and in my face with pathetic attempts to get my attention.

This strategy is like one from the annoying dorm roommate who you're forced to be around, but can't stand.
This is not the savvy marketing activity of a national chain.  You sell electronics.  This should be easy.  I go to Fry's all the time.

Listen, I'm a marketing consultant, and if you hire me to do some brainstorming in some of your more important teams, maybe we could come up with something to turn your company around dramatically.  Honestly, it may be too late.  Blockbuster, not so great a move picking this one up.  That's a lot of decrepit real estate.

But here's a free tip:  blog-blocking, with snappy, teen, Wii-playing poseurs does not work in your favor.  It severely diminishes my already very low opinion of you.
