Copywriting FAIL (Or WIN?). Need A Trim?

Maybe I’ve just got a dirty mind, but I think the marketing person who wrote the copy for this landscaping business ad is being a bit naughty. I mean, hedgehog? We all know who Ron Jeremy is, right? I noticed this ad while walking on 10th Avenue near Vancouver City Hall.

Someone Needs To Fire Their Media Liaison

First, some background. Before I took on business writing, journalism paid the bills. I still do the occasional magazine article from time to time in addition to my business writing gigs. It gives me the opportunity to stretch my writing muscles. And I enjoy the research part of the work, getting to interview experts so [...]

Copywriting Tip 7. Avoid Typos

Copywriters (and business owners who do their own business writing for some strange reason or another) must avoid typos in their communications and marketing materials. This should go without saying, but I’m still surprised to see little mistakes cropping up in press releases, newsletters and other materials my friends and colleagues send along. Take care [...]

How To Develop A Big Picture Communications Strategy

Summer is here. We’re reading books on the beach, drinking wine on the patio and making more time for our friends and families. But after recharging my batteries for just a day or two, that entrepreneurial brain kicks in. I start thinking about big picture stuff. About a third of my work is helping develop [...]

Write A Press Release Like A Neanderthal

Press releases follow a predictable format. You’ve got a line saying “For Immediate Release” and the name of the organization under that. Then you’ve got a title. Maybe a subtitle. Next, the main content; the “news” of the news release. After that, some information about the organization. Finish with the contact information (and make sure [...]

Since morphing into a business copywriter, I still do check into Craigslist about twice a month — it only takes five minutes and you never know what you’ll find. I must admit that on rare occasion, I’ve found a [...]

Use Strong Calls To Action

If you want your customers to do something — like, maybe, buy your stuff in the next two minutes — you’re going to have to tell them. Read my post on the Lift Strategies website to learn more about how to get the customer to take action

Top 10 Reasons To Not Have a Business Website

I’m a pretty active networker, often picking up business cards from wily business veterans and newly-minted entrepreneurs. It usually bugs me when I don’t see a website URL listed on their card, and not just because I have an ulterior motive in plugging my own website copywriting services. Just about any business I can think [...]

Financial Storytelling. Communicating Through Numbers

I first met Financial Storyteller Stewart Marshall at the New Ventures BC seminar series in Vancouver. He impressed me immediately with his wit and charm — perhaps I’m a victim of my own stereotypes, but it’s rare that I find a guy who understands numbers and communicates like a champ. Stewart’s work revolves around making [...]
