Louisville Artisans Guild Holiday Showcase
It is that time isn’t it? That time when people stores start bringing out Christmas decorations and people start holiday shopping. I know it’s upon us because a trip to Home Depot well before Halloween gave me a start with the rows and rows of Christmas trees and other decorations. In any case if you [...]

While there Christopher gave her an update on the [...]

20. October 2010
A few weeks ago I wrote about a vegan drink offering at Quills and in the comments somebody nudged me to post about vegan stuff more often. I’ve become more knowledgeable about vegan offerings in Louisville since my beloved made the choice to go vegan about 6 weeks ago. And one of the things I’ve [...]

19. October 2010
by Ashlee Clark Every few years, I become fixated on a particular dish. A few years ago, it was cheesecake. I had to have the dessert at every restaurant I visited in an attempt to find the best. Then there was the Club Sandwich Tour of ’07. Cheddar’s won that battle. Now, I’m on the [...]

Do I want to receive PR or Marketing pitches?
Yes.
Types of Pitches
I enjoy receiving news and tips that help make Consuming Louisville even more useful to its audience. If you or one of your clients has something cool going on in Louisville I would love to hear about it.
Consuming Louisville primarily focuses on independent Louisville businesses, artists and events. This doesn't mean that I never write about chain restaurants or corporate events but I do so very infrequently. If you or your client is a national chain and you have a Louisville specific event going on (say a special for Derby) then by all means let me know about it. But if you have an event or special that is happening in every city your chain has a location in then I probably won't post about it.
Personal Responses
I receive many press releases and email notices. I cannot possibly respond to every single one of them. So while I may not personally respond I think we can have enough faith in the email system to assume that I received your message. Sending the same message to me multiple times just increases the likelihood that I'll start ignoring all messages from you instead of paying more attention.
Editorial Choices
I do not write about every press release or event notice I receive. I'm the sole writer on Consuming Louisville (except for occasional guest posts) and if I don't find think my audience would find something interesting or relevant I will not write about it. Just because you think I should write about something doesn't mean I will. If I have chosen not to write about something it is absolutely not up for debate.
I'm a Person, You're a Person
Emails that sound like press releases, press release attachments without actual email messages and other communication that could have just as easily been sent to and from a robot do not hold my attention. Since I'm a real person and you're a real person I'd encourage you to make our interaction person-to-person conversation instead of an email blast to a marketing list. I like people, I don't like email marketing blasts.
