How do we know what the 5 Biggest Mistakes are? After over a decade in direct response, we have peered “under the hood” of hundreds of direct marketing campaigns across every type of category imaginable. Sometimes a new client will come to us after a failed attempt with another agency, or simply to get a second opinion on whether their campaign was or is being run optimally. As a result of this extensive experience, not only have we seen which decisions make campaigns successful, but also which decisions condemn campaigns to certain underachievement of their potential.The most difficult part of

Ever wonder how to put more jingle in your pockets? Recently I was invited to join the “staff” of a local accounting firm, under the sheer guise of increasing business and profitability to a company with consistent net gains in their profit margin. The owner’s intent is rather clear; he wants more money jingling in his pocket.While this isn’t a bad thing and nobody is condemning him for his intentions, a better objective might be “improving service”, or “broadening the market”. Either of these or more money in your pocket would appeal to most business owners, because the bottom line is simple, more jingle.rtwork That Begs to Be Touched”.

Have you ever sat down at the kitchen table with the day’s mail and started sorting it into piles? • bills (you always recognize those first!),• “to read” pile (that’s always the tallest),• stuff to go in the wastebasket (but that’s on the other side of the room),• papers to discuss with your significant other (who isn’t there at the moment), and finally• “I don’t even know how I got this” pile (but you really want to read it!)Then the phone rings -- or the kids come in -- or it’s time to go to a meeting. By this time, you can’t remember which pile is which, and you don’t have time
3. Draft a symbol or logo if you feel you need one to reinforce the message. Sometimes a symbol or visual identity in conjunction with a branding statement can be very effective, but it isn’t always necessary.
Take some time, sit down and really apply yourself to defining your key statement based upon your single best thing that you do. A key phrase should be short and very concise. Don’t ever use ambiguous statements like “The Low Priced Leader” for instance. Of what? For whom? Compared to who? Do you see the problem? Look around and see what statements are being used and for what and a key phrase will come to you that best sums up what you do.
If you feel the need for a logo or symbol to reinforce the key statement, create one or perhaps adapt one. Often logo symbology is just effective use of a unique or stylish type-face or font. Adapting that type-face every time you use the statement becomes the symbology you will be recognized for. The UPS label isn’t fancy at all, but through simplicity and repeated use, it is easily recognizable. Perhaps your signature is the symbology you’re looking for. That’s what Norman Rockwell used. Could you do the same?
Put your brand on everything you create as communications media. If you send e-mails, use your statement below your signature line. If you produce postcards or flyers, place the statement prominently. Don’t forget to put it on the web site and of course your business cards. Through repeated use, you will over time begin to forge an identity based upon your defining statement. Ideally such as is the case with Nike, you will become “one” with the brand. You know when this is achieved by the fact that people know instantly who you are when your symbol is displayed. Frankly, you may never achieve this level of identity but it is the dream of every business or creative entity to have a level of recognition such that others are aware of your presence through recognition of a symbol, phrase or association of whatever you represent. Since recognition is so very important to art and artists, you know the import
