Have you heard of negative reverse selling? When it comes to sales methodologies, this one doesnt seem to get as much attention. But it can be an impactful strategy. What is negative reverse selling? This methodology involves using reverse psychology to speed up the decision-making process. Instead of pushing hard for a sale, sellers acknowledge objections and non-committal responses.

In 2024, out-of-home advertising campaigns drew more marketer dollars and consumer attention. Some of this growth was the result of using new tactics. The industry overall generated a 4.5% revenue increase over the previous year. And digital out-of-home (DOOH) jumped 7.5%. Total spending on the format amounted to $9.1 billion according to the Out of Home Advertising Association of America.

This week saw the arrival of the first Bee-eaters (Merops apiaster) of the season. I cannot write about the arrival of these colourful birds without making reference to Howard Irby. He was an ornithologist who wrote a wonderful “Ornithology of the Straits of Gibraltar” in 1875, with a lavish second edition twenty years later, graced by Thorburn’s watercolours.

I visited the Kruger National Park on average twice a year with my family in the eleven years that I lived in South Africa, giving us ample opportunity to explore most areas of this faboulous place. In this and several following posts, I will share some impressions of the birding in and around some of the camps we stayed at in the park.
