Hope you had a good weekend. The Sydney weekend was wonderful. We packed as much as we could into it – I think the highlight for the Jack and Harry was…………………..the mini-bar in the hotel room. They couldn’t believe that we had this fridge filled with drinks and chocolates. That’s kid heaven! One of the […]

The power of the brand
My lovely wife (whom I’ve mentioned twice on this web site today) runs her own web site business. When she set up the site she adopted quite a dynamic strategy. The web site originally sold the products of one manufacturer in a niche market. Now, she had a couple of choices on how she was […]
Your customers have all the answers
It never ceases to amaze me the value of a customer. I don’t mean in terms of pure sales, but I mean in the amount of information they can provide. You see, we’ve been completing surveys for a business over the past couple of weeks. We’ve been surveying their customers via phone, face to face […]
Copywriting – worth every cent
I’ve been writing a simple brochure for a client all day and it’s hard work. You see, to write good copy you need to do a lot of research, surveys, talk with the customers and generally get right into the business. Only then can you get the ‘feel’ for the business. And, like a lot […]

Simply irresistible
A fantastic offer I had a chance to read the newspaper yesterday and a small display ad at the bottom of the golf page caught my eye. A local golf course where I live (Gold Coast, Australia) is offering the following deal: 12 months Full Membership (unlimited golf) 12 months of weekly golf lessons with […]
Marketing hospitals
I’ll continue on the theme of marketing hospitals. I’ve mentioned the ambulance officer marketing for the Emergency Department. The next bit I want to talk about is research. You see, we took some radio ads for the Emergency Centre. As part of that I implemented a research system where we interviewed almost every patient who […]
Coffee and cake – a sophisticated marketing strategy
Thinking back on the days when I marketed hospitals, I’m reminded of the incredibly simple coffee and cake strategy we implemented. My logic was something like this: 1. Ambulance officers are busy, busy people. In a chat with some of them one day they mentioned that they usually don’t get a lunch break. 2. Working […]
