Credit where credit is due: The lovely-and-talented Ryan Patrick introduced me to Tom Fishburne’s work.
Fishburne is a national treasure. If you’re not following him, start.
On Monday, he followed up my post about Groupon-type marketing I wrote last week with one of his own. Only, in addition to being a smart, thoughtful writer, he’s also a cartoonist.
Show off.
I’ve said before I think Groupon’s a dangerous drug for small businesses. In Fishburne’s post on Monday:
Sure enough, the restaurant was suddenly and constantly full, and I saw Groupon printouts on most of the tables every time I went. From all the traffic, it looked like a very successful restaurant — until the moment they went out of business.
Read the whole post. There are a few comments worth reading as well.
