The Craft of Advertising Copywriting: Readers Become Customers When Your Words Are Fresh and Relevant

Jan
24



"Meaning"

Consider the complex character of strong copy. One day it drives home its point with forceful simplicity. On another day, it scores with rock-the-boat boldness. Come back later and you might find it in a playful mood, making a good-natured pitch for an act of self-indulgence.

Well-crafted copy taps into the hearts and minds of readers and delivers stories and messages that make compelling human connections. When done right, it can inform, provoke, inspire and sell. But if your copy is confusing, uninteresting or just plain irrelevant to your reader, it will not only fail on its mission, it will make it harder the next time you try and get through to your audience. The craft of copywriting works essentially like this:

Brotherhood and Baked Beans

Jan
18



Stray Thoughts: Reflections From The Lighter Side Of AdServices

I don’t want to sound like I’m badmouthing “Motherhood and Apple Pie.” I’m a big fan of both. But how about some well-earned equal time for:

  • Charity and Cheddar Cheese
  • Loyalty and Leg of Lamb
  • Privacy and Pickled Peppers
  • Thoughtfulness and Fillet of Flounder
  • Democracy and Deviled Eggs

And while we’re taking a fresh look at these cherished symbols of  American values, can someone bang the drum for Brotherhood and Baked Beans?

I would, but it’s too close to home for me to maintain my composure.

“Like” It Or Not, Content Keeps Your Facebook Followers Caring and Sharing

Dec
27



User interacting with Mobile Device

In the time you take to read these few sentences, hundreds of new Facebook business Pages will be up and running. The problem is – unless those organizations have a built-in audience like big-boy brands Starbucks or Coke – they need to get creative about building a following with content that motivates people to care, share and come back for more.

In Facebook terminology, people who wish to interact with a business Page are called “Likers” of the Page. Here are nine customer engagement ideas we recommend for creating content that keeps your Likers faithfully connected to you and gets shared across an expanded community of Facebook members.

Social Media Pledge

Dec
02



Stray Thoughts: Reflections From The Lighter Side Of AdServices

I will use the power of social media to unite, enlighten and inspire people in search of greater meaning and purpose in life.

I will also provide timely updates on when I’m getting my car washed, buying yogurt, growing facial hair, or thinking of throwing out old running shoes.

I solemnly swear to keep everyone posted on pretty much everything that I think, say or do.

Don’t thank me, it’s nothing really.

New Rule of Marketing: Customer Experience Conquers All

Nov
29




Brand-loyal customers demand more than a cut-and-dried transaction of going to a business, laying their money down and purchasing a product or service. They want a meaningful experience through which they can find connection, empathy and validation. Case in point: Southwest Airlines.

It is common knowledge that the airline industry is hurting and they’re passing the pain on to passengers by adding extra fees and cutbacks in service. While changes need to be made to rise above spiraling costs, safety and customer satisfaction issues, downgrading service is a dangerous tactic for an industry that thrives on long-term customer loyalty.

Dear Awesome: It’s Over

Oct
28



Stray Thoughts: Reflections From The Lighter Side Of AdServices

What’s the deal with everyone saying “awesome” all the time? “This taco is awesome.” “The concert was awesome.” How was your vacation? “It was awesome.”

I’ve got an awesome idea. Let’s use some other adjectives to describe our mind-blowing experiences, like “epic” or “chocolicious” or “wickedcrazygood.”

I’ve always liked “monkey-riffic,” but that’s me.

It’s All About “You.”

Oct
25



All About "You" Image

When someone wants out of a relationship, a tried-and-true tactic of making the other person feel better is telling them “It’s not you, it’s me.” In marketing, on the other hand, “it’s not me, it’s you” is the tactic that sends all the right feel-good signals.

As proud as you may be of your company, product or service, if you want to convert the most potential customers into paying customers, having an “it’s all about you” mindset is exactly the right focus for marketing your business. If you’re not sure your focus is where it should be, take a look at your website or a recent brochure or ad that you’ve done.

Your Company Culture: Contented Employees Inspire Customer Loyalty

Sep
21



Business People - Teamwork

A fulfilled employee is a productive employee . . . and a magnet for attracting loyal customers who appreciate the extra effort and enthusiasm.

From employee-friendly national brands like Starbucks and Google, to local businesses that earn word-of-mouth reputations as great places to work, company cultures that cultivate a highly supportive environment set off a positive chain of events. Employees at these companies:

  • Believe from day one that they can make a difference
  • Broaden the boundaries of their jobs to go beyond what’s merely “required”
  • Take ownership of ideas and solutions that touch off positive change
  • Spark major strides forward in responsiveness to customer needs

Marketing in a Down Economy: Stop Waiting and Start Winning

Aug
30



Pot of gold at the end of the down market“Let’s hold off for now.”

In an economy coping with high unemployment, low consumer confidence and a rollercoaster stock market, these words have become the mantra of many anxious marketers.

No question about it – caution is the natural self-preservation response in tough economic times. But playing the waiting game is increasingly a strategy that results in forfeiting untapped opportunities.

Think about it. As many companies continue to sit on the sidelines with a wait-and-see approach, you can jump into the void and gain visibility in a smaller field of active competitors. A sparser marketing landscape can give you a more uninterrupted path to your target audience, which can translate into a quick spike in sales.

It gets better. Along with the short-term bump, your willingness to market during a down economy can build your brand awareness in a way that inspires customers to form new buying habits and sustains your gain in market share even when the economy recovers.
