I know that most of the companies that advertise on radio commercials are shady at best, but those ones for Regus stand out to me. The best I can tell, they rent out a floor in an upscale office building, fix up a bunch of offices, and timeshare them out to people who don't need a 24/7 office. On the surface this seems like a decent idea, but when you think about it, would you really want to do business with someone who has to call ahead to make sure an office is available to them before they can meet with you? And then they have to sneak in quick before you get there and place family photos on the desk and diplomas on the wall so it looks like it belongs to them. It just seems like it is setup to cater to fly-by-night operators who need to make quick getaways.

The Beezid commercials with Goodfellas gimmick are obnoxious as gently caress.

If you want to put your sales force (one or two guys) in another city and don't want the overhead for an office, it's a great way to do it. The sales guys will generally work out of their home, but have a business address for mail and a conference room when they need it. I know nothing about Regus in particular, but know that many of the bigger financial companies use something like this for their wholesalers. Edit: OF course, I deal with them in a Business to Business environment and there's an understanding of wanting to keep down overhead. burmart fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Mar 1, 2011 |

As someone who has worked from home, having an "office" like that is helpful. I've known people in start ups that use offices like that because they don't want to commit to a lease but maybe a few days a month they need to be in an office setting to conduct business. It's distracting at home if you have kids, pets, etc.

It's a fairly large company with lots of office space. The ones for Numis, Beezid (or any of the penny-auctions) are the scummiest.

Is there some reason radio commercials can't just list the benefits of their service/product? Every commercial has to be a lovely bit or some some guy preaching that he discovered the secret to being rich and is doing you a favor by sharing it with you.

-Atom- posted:Howard did a pretty good job on the Daily Show. The great thing about people trying to interview Howard is that he always ends up interviewing them. Or maybe Stewart went along with it because Howard looked absolutely massive compared to him and he was afraid to get stepped on if he offended him in any way.

Robin's prank call of a toupée place is quite clever. I almost wonder if Sal thought of that to gently caress with her on purpose, but that's giving him way too much credit.

drat I wish Artie was there for HPM today. All I could think about was that segment where they found out High PItch Mike went to the Madonna Concert and Gay Disney Day by himself and Artie almost dying from laughter.

Howard was very good on The Daily Show. I know John Stewart is kind of smallish but holy crap, Howard is huge. His hands looked like mitts.

I look forward to the eventual OD death(or possibly a murder-suicide) and Hollywood mourning the loss of one of their own. e: MarksFriggin posted:Howard said he's taken about 20 pictures and he bought about $5,000 worth of equipment. He said he has the giant lenses and battery packs with bags to carry it all around in. He said you need all of that to get started in photography. Howard said you have to invest. I love this stuff.
