Does The Success Of Marketing And Promotion Depend On The 3R’s?

Posted on 21/04/2011 by Ven
marketing and promotion 2 Does The Success Of Marketing And Promotion Depend On The 3R’s?Whether you are a stickler for correct grammar or are more interested in expression, there is no doubt that writing (communication) will always be very important, especially in the marketing and promotion of  business. The ability to speak and write has always been considered as the main difference between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. But to communicate successfully means that others who are reading what we write must understand our written word completely. The clarity of writing determines the professionalism of the individual.

an optional extra? Who has the courage to be a revivalist of good writing skills? I do!

Communication is So Very Important to The Marketing and Promotion of Your Business

Posted on 14/04/2011 by Ven

Robyn OConnell Communication is So Very Important to The Marketing and Promotion of Your BusinessHow to communicate in business is such an important topic, especially with today’s techno speak (like tomoz is going 2 b gr8 – arrrgggghhhhh)

One of the most frustrating things I have found with language (particularly customer service) is that we have all become ‘guys’…. “what can I get you guys?” “Well I’ll leave you to decide guys”, “how you guys doing today”…. the last time I looked I certainly wasn’t a ‘guy’ and if I am in a purchasing position, believe it or not, it will help me decide to go somewhere else.
