That is business in the real world :wink:

Surely blame the drivers???

The real world? ok how am i paying for rent, light, wages etc etc with no income coming in?

Artur I'm a Taxi driver not a PR expert but I know the difference between Marketing and PR, You, do you know the difference?

I'll play the game.

PR is about keeping customers happy and informed. Marketing is about attracting new custom.

Now do you know what customer means?

How wrong can You be, that's called customer service

You pay to market, PR attracts, sometimes you don't have to pay, for some free publicity, Business cards, poster ads, T.V Ads/Radio are paid for out of a marketing budget, PR is getting involved in local initiatives, it's about promoting an image of the business within your market, PR can attract free publicity, that's where we come up short in my opinion of course :wink:

There must have been a few there, I couldn't find a taxi anywhere in the street. I ended up having to use my GET TAXI app and as if by magic... =D>

Thanks City Cabs... =D>

Oh and a freebie... =D>

You really have a chip on your shoulder Skullio. Have you ever considered meditation or acupuncture? It may help you to relax and enjoy life that little bit more. I would suggest taking the acupuncture route Skull, you'll fit in nicely with the rest of the pricks. REVOKED. I have that information from a very good source.

I don't know Kaizer, you are so angry and bitter that you can't be pleased for someone hiring a taxi and getting a freebie. :roll:
