  • Your Business Should Produce at Least One Newsletter
    Newsletters remain a powerful marketing tool because they are targeted, specific, and often eagerly welcomed communications from you directly to your customers. Your newsletter mailing list can be pure gold, and the quality of your newsletter can help retain customers. However, few companies produce newsletters nowadays. They seem old-fashioned.

  • This Mother's Day Let Your Mom Be Your Marketing Focus Group
    When writing very technical or complicated information for a lay audience, such as writing about medical products for prospective patients, it's a good idea to subject the material to the "mom test."

  • Everything You Know about Medical Advertising is Probably Wrong
    Medical advertising is highly regulated advertising aimed at an expert audience of avid readers extremely interested in your product or service.

It may be far more important to your business to brand your packaging and technical literature for the simple reason that it is the zone where your company connects most directly with your customer.
  • Identifying Your Brochure's Target Audience
    Medical companies and hospitals spend a lot of time and money creating brochures, but often they miss the mark. It's not that they're not good--they just are written at the customer instead of to the customer. Good news: it's not hard to fix the writing.
