Hi

Well, what a disappointing response to last week’s newsletter!

Only three replies, telling me what you, and your business does that makes you more than just ‘what you do’

Even more disappointing, that’s only three of you who took the opportunity to tell all the other newsletter readers about

the ‘hidden bonus’ of your business delivers . . .

the essence of your business personality . . .

the ‘added extra’ implicit in buying from you and your business . . .

It’s Your Brand Identity!

This newsletter has been banging on about how you can find and exploit ‘communication opportunities’ since it started!

Subscription has risen to over 1,000 businesses – and although not every subscriber reads every issue, but I know each issue is read by at least 350 subscribers.

350 potential clients you’ve missed the opportunity of talking to! (maybe even 1,000+)

Shame on you! Or is it shame on me for not making my message clear enough?

Anyway, here’s the ‘more than what we do’ replies I did receive:

Claire Nield, creator of Vimto’s ‘dad’s pants’ promotion, now runs a 1-2-1 marketing agency, she talks marketing sense for your business, whatever its size – talk to her if you need good advice!

Hi Alan,

Great newsletter (as ever).

Isabel Fernandez, a buyer with Armani – nuff said!

My job is more than picking clothes for a shop, it’s about deciphering an artistic direction; selecting a trend that men and women can identify with, are intrigued and moreover, excited by.
  This season the Armani collection went much shorter and much brighter - a far cry from its seasonal hues of 'greige' - we wanted to dare our clients, the choices we made told them its 'ok' to be adventurous, to try the silhouettes they would never have before picked up; simply by giving them no other options we bring out the clients inner ambition, their inner confidence.
  Buyers should be paid as life coaches - there is no better high than someone looking in the mirror, in something 100% out of their comfort zone and realising they look fabulous. To do this for a client means I've done my job properly!
I.F.
