Creative by nature - results by design
Plan for worst case scenario
Producing the right promotional material is simple - its just not easy
Imagine all your potential
customers are:
• Stupid
• Lazy
• Too Busy
• Greedy
• Perception
• Material to reflect level of service
• 10% Smarter / Dumber
Because they are:
• Stupid - Make it simple
• Lazy - You do the hard work
• Too Busy - Keep it short
• Greedy - Benefits
If your marketing material is still not working, it will be because:
• The PRODUCT or
SERVICE isn't wanted
• The PRICE is wrong
• Wrong MEDIUM or
TARGET
• Wrong MESSAGE or
badly DESIGNED
Top
trumps
...and the winner is
Meeting expectations of potential customers
