Why radio advertising could be the best thing you ever did for your business
In the marketing world, radio has earned the reputation of being the odd step-cousin. You know the one. No one knows quite what to do with him. Especially at family gatherings when everyone tries hard to avoid sitting with him. (After all, who knows WHAT hell start talking about.) Much of that reputation comes from radio being tough to track. On one hand, radio does work. Businesses do notice an increase in sales when they add radio to the mix. However, radio doesnt test well. In surveys and other tracking methods, radio tends to be the one with the dismal scores.

How To Write Ads That Get Response
Your print ads should do more than just get noticed. Their job is to bring you business, and if all they do is lay around and attract attention, they’re no different from the lazy employee who does nothing all day but look busy. You wouldn’t give him more hours in the hopes that one day something productive will happen. And you shouldn’t keep running those “name recognition” ads in the hopes that one day sales will happen, either. You should fire those non-responsive ads and get some that pull their own weight.

Peace after Ariel Sharon
This is the view of a non-Jewish Belgian author, who spent several years in the Middle East (mostly in Iran), on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after Ariel Sharon. We must accept it as a fact, even when he recovers, that Ariel Sharon will be unable to resume duties. After the elections, most probably, Ehud Olmert will be the new Prime Minister and will continue Sharons politic. Will this lead to peace?

How Not to Write a Press Release
Several years ago, when I was working for an agency, I was fired from an account. What that means is the client didn’t want me writing for him anymore. Another writer, a friend of mine, got the account and life went on. Of course, I was pretty upset by the situation.

How to Make the Most of Your Website Copywriter
How to Make the Most of Your Website Copywriter By Glenn Murray * Many people feel uncertain when dealing with copywriters. Like any artform, writing is subjective; instead of black and white, most business owners and marketing managers see indistinguishable shades of grey. But copywriting possesses one key element that most other forms of art don’t – a commercial imperative.

Review Words That Sell

Bifocal Contact Lens Basics
As we age, many of us notice that we can’t read as well as we used to. We hold things out further and further, literally at arm’s length, until friends and relatives inevitable begin joking about our arm’s getting shorter. For many of us, presbyopia is a fact of life.

When Does
When I got my first TV anchor job, my news director gave me a piece of advice that everyone writing copy on the internet will do well to remember. "Be conversational," he said. "But be credible."
