INSIGHTS & JOY
A business newsletter with Pizzazz! "We help leaders become better marketersusing a holistic business approach!"
You receive a letter from a local
business. You recall seeing their sign. They look professional. You begin to
form an opinion of a business before you ever consider a purchase. Maybe
you call first to see if they have what you need in stock. You'll notice if the
facility is clean or messy. The people are friendly...or they are not.
The attitudes and the visual impressions you unconsciously absorb determine whether or not you buy from that firm. Could your marketing image use a shine? Check out this month's list and see if your business image is shiny or a bit tarnished.

Could your marketing image use a shine? Every business projects an image. Clients, employees,
suppliers, shareholders, and the general public perceive an image of your
firm whether you like it or not! Company Name - Does it help people
understand who you are and what you do? The best approach is to be sure all of the elements of
your business image are consistent, and in support of the image you want to
portray. I put it this way:
Smiles make the day! ► Nothing makes a man faster on his feet than politics, unless it's bigamy! ► The trick is to get education out of politics - and get it into politicians! ► The quickest way to trace your family tree is to run for public office. ► Politics is like inflation. The more we have of it, the more things end up costing. ► Nowadays a man goes into politics with a bright future and comes out with a horrible past. ► We may never have a woman president. What woman will admit to being over thirty-five? ► Your political straw vote indicates which way the hot air is blowing. ► Two Texas candidates were debating. One shouted, "What about the powerful interests that control you?" The other screamed back, "Leave my wife out of this!" ► Why not hold the elections every year? There never seems to be a tax increase in an election year! ► Based on the past few years, the United Nations has just about as much influence as the average husband!
