However, a website in today's world must count for a big part of marketing on the advance, as I see it; Frankly, until your marvelous redesign came about a season or so ago, I found the earlier website version amazingly passive. It's an impression I have of JRNI II, that he himself has faint interest in PR and marketing. It all goes to the top in any organization, be it even a circus.<br />I am delighted that you seem to be doing so well, as implied, and still find potentially exciting, as I have said on this blog, the three acts from other shores.<br /> Showbiz Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921904778000552196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-75910014792728406562014-04-13T14:42:09.630-07:002014-04-13T14:42:09.630-07:00Yes, absolutely a valid critique of the web site, ...Yes, absolutely a valid critique of the web site, but to say "If there is anything John Ringling North II is without a doubt weak on, it is marketing, advertising, PR. Some simply call it "the front end"? The website is but one small element in the front end. In the age we live in, if we were weak on the front end, we would soon be out of business. <br />Jim Royalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-59354531414503769442014-04-13T11:33:26.607-07:002014-04-13T11:33:26.607-07:00Correction, Big Apple Circus ringmaster is John Ke...Correction, Big Apple Circus ringmaster is John Kennedy Kane, not Joseph, and he is that good.bob goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678491229412559494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-13981702840744290162014-04-13T09:09:45.584-07:002014-04-13T09:09:45.584-07:00I am happy to know a very interesting act has land...I am happy to know a very interesting act has landed!<br /><br />No, I have no idea what your attendance figures are; might you share them with us?

I must take issue with you regarding the front end. I don't see how you can judge our effectiveness by simply looking at a website. Do you check the promotions in the towns, analyze the advertising, etc? Do you have access to our attendance figures? I am curious.Jim Royalnoreply@blogger.com
