Meeting with two clients from the food/beverage industry.
Client 1: “Creatively, we’re looking for site ideas that go beyond one or two target visits a week. Think of ideas which will get them here every day.”
Client 2: “Oh, but also inspire intent to purchase.”
Me: “Why not just shoot for all day / every day?”
Client 2: “Except when they’re out buying [product].”

I showed it to my son and he didn’t like it, and he’s like the coolest 20-year-old ever.
