In today's business world, the pressure for financial performance has created a supercharged atmosphere in which the only goal seems to be to make as much cash as fast as possible. Few industries have changed under this pressure as much as the advertising industry. Industry professionals are caught in a crossfire between clients who demand ever increasing return on investment (which generally means lower price) and their own managers who seek ever escalating revenues. Today fewer people are doing more work than ever before and earning less. The resulting pressure has taken a lot of the fun out of a business that was traditionally focused on delivering big ideas and powerful solutions.

No cash for advertising? No worries. These promotions are more about creativity than spending money. Another bonus is they’re easy to do and manage. All it takes is for you to get started.

I can tell you exactly what happened. Poor management. Unfortunately we're experiencing this just about everywhere, whether at a local establishment or a chain. Management is just not taking the time to properly train and supervise its staff. What happened to Michelle's is a prime example of this problem.
