"There is no doubt in my mind that this country cannot achieve any objective we put our mind to." - George W. Bush

 

Party on, 

Happy Leap Year!  That's right - you'll have to work harder to make up for the extra day or two you normally get to enjoy!

Hey!  It just dawned on me that presidential elections occur on leap years.  Imagine that.  All this time on the planet and I just figured that one out.  :(

How will you conduct business in this time of recovery? 

Many business owners take January and even sometimes part of February to “cool down” from the rat race of the holidays.  If you’re one of them, it could cost you.  Consider remaining aggressive in your marketing and sales techniques.  Allow me to help by voicing your next commercial, training video, corporate presentation, etc.  You do want a professional, don’t you? 

Marketing News

Because marketing is in a constant state of flux, I subscribe to several newsletters on the subject.  More often than not, I am amazed at the good information I am able to glean from these newsletters.  One of the more recent articles I read opens up an entire new market for voiceover professionals.  An excerpt follows:

Web-videos are not feature films or even viral videos intended to show how clever you are. You are making a commercial: special effects may be cool but they are not a substitute for a finely crafted script delivered by a professional performer.

Six Questions That Produce Successful Web Advertising

And, oh yes... I brand web site presentations as well!

Most people average more than 3,000 commercial message exposures a day, and the volume continues to grow. (Reality check: After you've bought your next $12 movie ticket, count the commercials and previews you have to sit through before the film begins). Creating clear, concise messages that are smoothly integrated is absolutely crucial to successful customer communications.

That's because, despite all the new technologies, this marketing principle hasn't changed: You must start with a relevant position, supported by consistent communications, to achieve a desired position with your target audience.
