I finished a few spec assignments for a Christian direct marketing manager. She didn't reply. I e-mailed for her input and she said she'd call back. I'm still waiting.

Levi's - Fashion Brand or Denim Icon?
Denim icon. There are a multitude of fashion brands in the market, especially in the jeans market, however none achieve the iconic status and brand salience as Levi’s. The fortified and unique image of the Levi’s brand allows them to not only be the most recognised but dominate the jeans market from markedly more expensive competitors.

White papers are a great way to educate your customers about how your product can help solve their problems. They give you a way to break through the usual marketing hype by educating instead of just selling.

We are all in sales. We all selling in every role we have. Whether you are in sales, marketing, home business, looking after your kids, dentist, athlete or whatever your chosen field is – you sell. When you are “selling an idea” or pitching a business proposal or offering a product or service – it is all selling. You can choose to avoid it or be good at it.
