    Vonage-The Grinch of Xmas

    Talk about trying to draw attention about a company after months of hiding as their stock price dwindles. Yesterday I caught wind of Vonage's latest PR stunt. Call Santa.

    I don't know, but to me this is an old idea, where kids can call a free number, hear a recorded greeting and leave a message. Oh they also on Xmas eve, will be able to track Santa's travels.

    Yawn....First I think this was done before by others in the phone biz years ago...It's not very original but I guess that's what big bucks PR firms and ad agencies tend to do for their clients. No wonder Vonage stock is struggling. With advice to do promotions like this it tells me they have their priorities in the wrong place.

    From my perspective Vonage would have been better giving all their customers a better customer service experience. That's a better dose of Holiday Cheer in my book.
