MARC: Times have changed, but there's still certain basic one-on-one human
relationships. The first marketing I did for this restaurant--now remember,
these are different times; I don't do this anymore.
HATTIE: This was 20 years ago.
MARC: This is a disclaimer. But I would take in my
car -- you know the little bottles of whiskey that you get on the planes just
about that size bottle of whiskey? And I'd drive around from hotel to hotel and
have a drink with the bellman.
HATTIE: Really?
MARC: I'd say, `Look, send me some business,' you
know, `and tell them they sent you, you know? So I'd go back the next day, and
Bill, the bellman over at the Driscoll, sent somebody and I'd go back, `Bill,
have a couple of drinks on me. Thanks a lot. You know, that was great.' That
was my first marketing. |
