  28. The local plumber or electrician does not provide a “commodity service” … if he knows his job if he is learning new tricks all the time if he has a good disposition if he shows up on time if he is neatly dressed if he has a spiffy truck if he cleans up so that the client could “eat off the floor” after he leaves if he volunteers to do a few tiny tasks outside the one at hand—gratis if he even goes so far as to create a blog with occasional posts featuring practical tips for his clientele—e.g., a tiny Virginia swimming pool company became a literal best-in-world adopting this [aggressive] social-media strategy.
