Just Do It: How to Create a Memorable Tagline Taglines—those few descriptive words that position your brand—set your business apart from the competition and arouse interest in your product or service. The most exceptional taglines can remind potential customers about your brand without mentioning your product, service, or company name: "When you care enough to send the very best," "The quicker picker-upper," "We try harder," and "Just do it!"
Here is some solid advice about creating a tagline that will resonate with your own customers. Get the full story. |

Lies, Damn Lies, and Dashboards, Part 1: CRM Reporting and the Wrench in the Lead Machine Watching CRM dashboards is like monitoring stocks online—it's easy to get mesmerized by the merest up tick or downturn in lead flow.

A Note to Readers
Marketing Classics Obviously, quite a bit has changed in marketing since MarketingProfs began publishing in 2000. But marketing fundamentals will always ring true. As the saying goes… Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed. This week, I’ve unearthed a goodie from the thousands of articles in the Profs publishing vault, and with it launch an occasional series of MP Classics: great articles that deserve another go in the limelight. This MP Classic, Six Classic Mistakes Email Newsletters Make, was originally published January 22, 2002. As I say in my intro to Mark Brownlow’s piece, it’s a timeless look at the mistakes email marketers make—mistakes that prevent an email newsletter from reaching its full potential. And speaking of email, don’t miss this week’s “Crash Course” seminar, Email - The Power Channel in Direct Marketing Today. Seminar leader Regina Brady covers why email is still a powerful medium for reaching and retaining customers, and she’ll let you in on a number of secrets to boost your success. (Including the two factors that matter most in getting your emails opened.) Thanks for stopping by! Ann Handley

Advertisers Continue to Miss the Mark With Women Let's review: Women make 80 percent of all purchases. They buy more electronic equipment, vehicles, and home-improvement products than men do. Women hold nearly 50 percent of all jobs. In dual-income families, more than 30 percent out-earn their husbands. They control considerable sums of money and spend it for a variety of products, services, investments, and household expenditures. Nevertheless, many advertisers not only create ads that will appeal only to men but also showcase ads that (worse!) actually turn women off. Get the full story. |
