Homework assignment for my readers

I'm embarking on a week-long study of choice. Not the political kind. The kind that marketers offer you (or not). It could be different flavors, shipping schedules, payment options, or email frequency.

It could be a choice of charity for a cash back donation, mild/medium/hot sauce, indoor or outdoor seating, smoking or non-smoking, morning or afternoon appointment, red or white, FastPass or cash. I have a theory about how choice affects customer satisfaction, especially in the mom market.

This is where you come in. The more perspectives I get, the more informed blog post I'll write about choice in the end. So...please keep your eyes open this week for what choices you are offered in the course of your daily life. Write 'em down and put them in the comments section of this post. Or email them to me. See, you've got one choice already!

Name: Kat Gordon
Location: Palo Alto, CA

I am the founder and creative director of Maternal Instinct, a Palo Alto agency of creative problem solvers for marketing to moms. I am lucky enough to get paid to spend my days helping big and small corporations figure out how to make moms want to do business with them. (I don’t get paid for my nights and weekends, caring for my two boys, which is far, far more tiring.) My 20-year advertising career spans both coasts: in New York (my hometown) and San Francisco, my home today with husband Gene and boys, Henry and Benjamin. I have peddled products for every industry -- credit cards, wine, cars, magazines, jewelry, hotels, software, phone service -- and even picked up a Clio and a few ADDYs along the way.
