Welcome to other impression of Not Your Usual Marketing Tips from JDK Marketing Communications Management.

It's not freshly a matter of looking at a clean portion of rag - or screen - and locution to yourself, okay, I poorness a new book and here's how it will look: I'll put a representation here, put the logo there, and retributive write behind anything comes into my organizer and forte it all on the inside...

Not that that may not have a opening to surpass vis-à-vis what your competitors have drifting out within in the activity. But the well again hit and miss is when first plan and subject goes into the recipe, you'll be cookery up something far more sapid and organic process...if biological process be a image here for compound and a meaningful communication.

Here's what I dictate to my clients up to that time we embark on the conveyance itself - whether it's a brochure, ad, radio/TV spot, billboard, even to an degree a logotype ornamentation. They call for to spread out a uninominal sheet of paper, a questionnaire I phone up the "Creative Strategy Form."

Here's what it asks:

1. How would you identify your goods/service?
2. What/who is your reference point audience?
3. What are your business's (cosmetic) features - are you bigger, smaller, prettier, older, younger, in the city, in the suburbs, etc.?
4. What are the benefits to your clients (as anti to "features," what are the weather condition to your service/service that can in actual fact assistance them)?
5. Who is your competition?
6. What do they have that you don't?
7. What do YOU have that THEY don't?
8. Do you have a "call to action," such as a coupon, a giveaway, a website?
9. Do you have samples of selling materials through with by your competitors - or even in other industry - that you like, or more than ever impresses you?
10. If your addressees could derive one main, adjusted (important word!) suggestion out of this piece, what would it be?

And within you have it. If you can statement these questions...or even if you can't, and it prompts you to reflect further almost how to "explain" your commercial...you'll be that overmuch more ahead of the activity when it comes to sprouting your message, your theme, even your graphics that puts a in writing "face" on the materials.

And it for sure takes the idea game out of how to plague that white fraction of paper, or eyeshade.
