I have no idea how IKEA does in San Jose but I suspect if it's anything like Toronto, including the 2009 as an insert in your newspaper will be well worth the ROI. It's also possible it wasn't included in every paper but perhaps those meeting specific demographics.Bargainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192938722206095554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-80645315342027145382008-08-04T16:03:00.000-04:002008-08-04T16:03:00.000-04:00On Saturday I opened up our newspaper "The San Jos...On Saturday I opened up our newspaper "The San Jose Mercury News" (San Jose, CA) and low and behold an entire IKEA 2009 catalogue fell out of the plethora of weekend ads. It blew my mind! How much is that setting back their marketing budget to include one of these bad boys in each and every Saturday newspaper? And will they see a proper return on their investment?

IKEA used to have a store near Halifax. I think it was in Dartmouth but I understand it's gone now. Perhaps they will open another one in the future.Bargainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192938722206095554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-7717253705302257152008-08-03T18:59:00.000-04:002008-08-03T18:59:00.000-04:00One of the things I miss most about moving to Hali...One of the things I miss most about moving to Halifax from Toronto...no IKEA!!!!Ruth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-47565281219448809802008-08-03T09:27:00.000-04:002008-08-03T09:27:00.000-04:00I like IKEA but rarely shop there as well as I liv...I like IKEA but rarely shop there as well as I live close to downtown and rarely have access to a car.

I enjoy seeing their latest designs because there is always something inspiring in the way they styled the rooms.Kim Valleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943439004510945605noreply@blogger.com
