    What are you really selling?

    Friday, July 24th, 2009

One of the questions I ask everyone is, “What are you really selling?” What a question!   And what different answers! Many individuals have a blank look on their faces.  And it’s understandable.  Many individuals who [...]

    Tell your story…

    Friday, July 10th, 2009

    I ran across this magazine ad a couple weeks ago.  It’s a good ad because it tells a story and is personal (Excuse the quality of the image; I had to copy and scan it.).  Take one of your ads and massage it to be like this…to tell a story and be personal.  Then test [...]

    Seasonal Tie-Ins

    Friday, March 20th, 2009

    I just returned from the beautiful island of Aruba, walking the beach each day, and seeing the effect the world economy was having on tourism and business in general on the island.
