Many economists rely on economic indicators to predict consumer spending and the health of the wealth of a nation. Using such data they can predict economic trends, business cycles and industry movement. It is amazing all the data available out there and all the different methods that are considered mainstream economic theory. Yet so often we fail to see the most obvious trends. For instance simple things like non-profit carwash fundraiser donations above ticket prices or the volume of cars pulling in with drivers freely willing to donate for a good cause. Additionally one of the best economic indicators I have s

All good advertising copy is comprised of the same basic elements. Good advertising copy always:
Grabs Attention: Consumers are inundated with ads, so it’s vital that your ad catches the eye and immediately grabs interest. You could do this with a headline or slogan (such as VW’s “Drivers Wanted” campaign), color or layout (Target’s new colorful, simple ads are a testimony to this) or illustration (such as the Red Bull characters or Zoloft’s depressed ball and his ladybug friend).
Promises Credible Benefit: To feel compelled by an ad, the consumer must stand to gain something; the product is often not enough. What would the consumer gain by using your product or service? This could be tangible, like a free gift; prestige, power or fame. But remember: you must be able to make good on that promise, so don’t offer anything unreasonable.
Keeps Interest: Grabbing the consumer’s attention isn’t enough; you have keep that attention for at least a few seconds. This is where your benefits come into play or a product description that sets your offer apart from the others.
Generates Action: This is the ultimate point of advertising copy -- it must make the reader react in some way. This doesn’t necessarily translate to buying the product immediately or using the service. Your ad could be a positioning tool to enable the reader to think about you in a certain light. Speak to your audience, or the audience you’d like to reach, and you’ll be surprised how frequently they come to you in the future.

Always be professional, do not fall into the old friends trap, you will lose more than you will ever be able to gain back. I have had a few occasions where I was doing business as a consultant and I was asked if I could attend a social event to celebrate the success of the project. I was pleased that the company had asked me and I graciously accepted. The event was on a Saturday afternoon so I dressed appropriately for a BBQ.When I got to the event, everyone else was dressed the same way except the host who was basically in his workout clothes. He was treating everyone like old friends, which is not a bad

Several weeks ago I had an absolutely fascinating conversation with a newspaper advertising expert.He laid out some of the best newspaper ad tips I'd ever heard. Tips that can save anyone money and make things go a lot more smoothly.And one of the best secrets he told me -- which sounds really obvious, but is still a secret to most people -- is when you’re looking at buying newspaper advertising, one of the things you should do is form a relationship with a representative.In other words, deal with one person and get to know them, let them know you and what you're doing, and try to have a real

In addition to enteral nutrition claims for medical billing, there are also claims that fall under the category of parenteral nutrition. These claims are sent using GP0 records instead of GE0 records. The first question that many people ask is what the difference is between enteral nutrition and parental nutrition. So before we go into the GP0 CMN in detail, a brief explanation of the differences between the two is probably in order.Enteral nutrition is where the feeding of the patient is done through feeding tubes. The food still goes through the patient's digestive system, including the stomach. Wit

How you write your advertising copy will be based on where you will place your ad. If it’s a billboard ad, you’ll need a super catchy headline and simple design due to the speed at which people will pass. Online ads are similar; consumers are so inundated with Internet advertising that your ad must be quick and catchy. Magazine advertising is the most versatile, but this is solely dependent on the size of your ad and how many other ads compete with yours. If you have a full page ad, feel free to experiment; more page space gives you more creative space. If the ad is tiny, you’ll need to keep things as simple as possible.
KNOW THE STYLE
Advertising copy is a unique type of writing. Its point is to balance creativity and readability into something persuasive and entertaining. Keep the following points in mind when you write your copy:
Be Succinct: There are few things more damaging to an ad campaign than messy wordiness. Use short sentences with as many familiar words as possible; save the thesaurus for a thesis or dissertation. Always make sure to use precise phrasing (why use five adjectives when one good action verb would do?); and eliminate any redundancies, such as “little tiny” or “annual payments of $XXX per year.”
Talk To Your Audience, Not At Them: Though you are announcing the availability of a product or service, avoid being clinical or overly formal. Write as if you’re talking to your ideal customer; use a style they’d use, words they’d be familiar with, slang they’d probably know. But be absolutely certain that you’re using these terms and phrases correctly. A recent McDonald’s campaign attempted to reach a certain audience by using the phrase “I’d hit it” in reference to a cheeseburger, unaware that the phrase is almost always used as a sexual reference.
