We had climbed the corporate ladder, rapidly, inexorably. We enjoyed six figure incomes, a second home, club memberships, prosperous investment accounts, wonderful benefit packages, a College investment plan for our three kids, sports cars an

An Introduction to Digital Signage
Digital Signage is the name given to a new and emerging form of advertising that is growing rapidly in today’s digital environment. Digital Signage is exactly what its name implies. It is a way of utilizing electronic data to produce a sign that does not need to be physically altered in any way. The content and the message displayed on the sign is displayed on an electronic screen. The screen m

Most Americans like to be viewed as individuals. We don't want to be seen as "just like" anyone else, because we're not. So why do so many businesses advertise their services just like everyone else?

One theory is that most people don't study copywriting or hire a copywriter. They depend upon the folks at the newspaper or the yellow pages ad salesman to tell them what should be included in their ads. They mistakenly believe that those folks are experts who will help them build their business.

Of course those people have no knowledge of the business or what it offers -- and most of them have no training in marketing. Their business is selling ads, not writing good copy to fill those ads. So they advise you to do what everyone else in your profession does. It's safe, after all. Everyone does it.

The sad thing is, it doesn't help the business and it doesn't help the consumer who is looking for a specialist to solve a problem.

He also worried about maintaining a 20-page

I've been reading a lot about this problem lately, so just for fun I opened my yellow pages at random. I found pest control. Of 14 companies listed, 8 had some form of block ad. Each ad listed several varieties of insects and mentioned that the business is insured. Most displayed a picture of a spider.

Two companies were geared toward removing mammals, and that's where I found the only glimmer of individuality. Both listed a variety of animals, but one had a subhead stating that they were bat removal specialists.

Then I opened another page and found a couple dozen professional movers. I found pictures of trucks, and copy that was almost identical on every ad. The only way to choose one would be to shut your eyes and point at the page.

My theory is that while everyone wants to be an individual, most people are afraid to be too different. Maybe they think their competitors will get angry if they say "I do XYZ better than anyone else." Maybe they're afraid to mention a specialty for fear t
