Here’s what you’re up against: Some eggs are now stamped with ads on them in the supermarket. Pizza cartons and Chinese food take-out containers now have ads stamped all over them. You can’t pee in a urinal without seeing an ad for something in front …

Loyal to the brand, or loyal to the Bribe?
I’d been going through “Blade” Magazine, which is about knives, and the lion’s share of all the space ads in there mentioned two things: The name of the company, and “lowest prices.” Neither of these things are very compelling, and in fact, I’d bet simply …

Nothing like a good rags-to-riches story, hey?
There really is nothing like a good story. And in fact, if you’ve got a story somewhere in your profile — and I know you do, because everyone does — you’d better be using it, because as Mike Miget, this month’s Audio Success Interview CD …

Instant skin care — have YOU been de-wrinkled lately?
I promised you I’d be nice and shallow today, let’s hope I deliver. In October 2003, a company called Freeze 24/7 began selling their skin care goo at Henri Bendel, a women’s retailer located on 712 Fifth Avenue, which is on 5th Avenue just south …

Papa was a rollin’ stone…
In 1972, The Temptations released the song “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone.” The song peaked at number 24 on the R & B charts, and was ranked #168 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. I was driving my son …

‘I was aiming for 8th place’ — absolutely sickening.
All three of my children are involved in some kind of competitive sports. Nick and Casey are both on their high school wrestling team, and Casey’s also on the swimming team. Sam is on the cheerleading squad in the neighboring town just a few miles …

Jealousy is a stinky cologne, Max.
The subject line of today’s e-mail is called a “metaphor,” and metaphors are phrases which make “good” sales copy GREAT. If you look up “metaphor” in the American Heritage Dictionary, it says something like this: “A figure of speech in which a word or phrase …

Up YOUR Hancock, John
Ever wonder how the expression “your John Hancock,” which means “your signature”, came about? Well, here’s the deal, straight from the “America’s Library” website: When you sign your name, that’s known as giving your John Hancock. Born on this day in 1737, John Hancock is …

Are You Trolling For Catfish?
In the wintertime, fishing isn’t very good. But once it starts warming up, I have a field day out here on my lake. There’s nothing as relaxing and enjoyable as bringing in a few nice bass, especially if you’re out there with your buddy, or …
