More Sherpa Readers Respond on 9/11

September 12th, 2001

Over the past 24 hours, dozens more readers from the UK, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, France and other countries emailed in notes of sympathy and support to Sherpa for our readers in the States. In a letter typical of many we received, Paul Griffin of TPG Home wrote, “From Brisbane, Australia, a note to convey my sincere grief and condolences to everyone in the United States today. We Australians stand in complete solidarity with you at this time. Never doubt that the people of the United States are greatly admired around the world and especially in Australia.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very sad time.”

>Many American readers also sent in notes. Carol Crowell, publisher of Software Success newsletter said she, like many other marketers, stopped all marketing operations yesterday. She emailed, “We put a hold on all outbound sales calls, marketing efforts, interviews by our editors company wide, too, and sent people home early.”

I was struggling with the decision to publish an issue today or not when President Bush came on TV last night. When he said the American economy will go on, I realized MarketingSherpa is part of that. We have to go on too. With respect.
