Hi all

You may have read my thread about a charity shop refusing my donation on the grounds it will help with my advertsing.

Well, i was wondering if i might take this to the next level and notify the press. See if they would be interested in the story?
What do you think?
Free publicty and all?

It could be misconstrude as you making some free publicity out of what was a dubious way of marketing. I'd steer clear if I was you.

Trying to get publicity by criticising the volunteers at a charity shop...not a wise move.

It was THEN appear you are trying to get some advertising. Move on and go to another charity shop to give away your items.

only because the donations were business card and flyers ;)
I'd try another shop.
