Here was a cool example that worked this past summer: Imagine writing an essay about "Why you should exercise." With no one person/reader in mind, where do you start? Now imagine the reader is your lazy overweight uncle sitting in front of the TV, drinking beer and playing with his remote. Easier to get started . . . and easier to write. (2) As a marketing teacher, I'd want to share all of your insights with my students to show them the power of intelligent thinking. In this particular post, your five strategy questions provided a great "lesson." I especially liked the suggestion to find promotions that work and make those your own. Wish I could be at PubCon to meet you! Two responses come to mind upon reading this post:

Though sometimes we have already prepared something, interaction with our clients or respondents could make the best out of the good stuff we have created. And what a great way to reward our audience by letting them see that their inputs are being implemented too.

I read your posts and it reminds me of many a pastors quote. "I'm here to afflict to comfortable and comfort the afflicted." You always share something I need to be doing better. Many thanks for the comments in this post. Adam,
