I have seen the light!

Posted on March 4, 2008 - Filed Under Business |

The other day, I had an experience which can only be described as “a moment of clarity”. I’m told this occurs in two segments of the population: alcoholics and marketers.

Since my hyper warp speed broadband connection, all the online tutorials at Apple’s Business Website were whizzing onto my machine. My purpose in watching these videos: pick up some tips or tricks on how to get all this software on my Mac to do some real work.

During one video presentation the conversation went like this:

Entrepreneur: Using all these products, then I can make sure that my website, my news-letters, the brochures, the emails all look alike.
Interviewer: You’re talking about ‘branding’, right?
Entrepreneur: Yeah.

Suddenly, this ray of SPF-35 light blazed through my roof and onto this poor, unsuspecting soul. Angels sang as the voice declared “
Now you understand what branding is, my stupid child. No go ye forth and eat Twinkies.”

OK so the Twinkies part is an exaggeration.

The bad news: the free newsletter and the website have to be revamped so they look alike.

The good news: this lesson was learned now before trying to launch the service.

If you liked that post, then try these...
