Dear Business-Builder,
This issue of THE TOTAL PACKAGE will make everybody money – including you!
If you’re a business owner, marketing pro or copywriter, good graphic design is absolutely essential to producing peak response to your sales promotions. I’ve seen poor design cut sales by half or even more. Conversely, I’ve seen stronger graphic design bump response by 20% or even more.
If you’re a designer, reading this may be the most important fifteen minutes of your career. Because I’m going to tell you what’s what. If you can follow some simple guidelines, you’ll be booked solid. I’ll probably be the first in line to hire you!
First, a quick disclaimer …
I am NOT an “anti-artite!”
Please forgive me if anything I’m about to say offends you. Despite what you may think, I really like most of the graphics people I’ve worked with.
I helped put two kids through art school.
Some of my best friends – Ed Elliott, Rob Davis, Larry Owen and Brian Wilson, for example – are designers.
I even gave my blessing when my daughter married an artist.
But we’ve got to talk. Because sometimes, you guys drive me nuts. Much of what I see in first draft art – and a LOT of what I see on the Internet and in the mail – is abysmal.
And the fact is, if I get one more graphics draft with the same old blunders in it, my head’s going to explode.
So please – have a seat … you’re about to get your advanced degree – from The Makepeace School of Art and Design …

The Craigslist Guide To Writing Ultra-Effective Headlines
This. Is. Awesome.
This is a collection of the Best Of from Craigslist, an online classifieds site that is very popular online.
These are headlines that are hilarious and I guess, real. Warning, some are not very nice or modest, and I would not recommend opening this stuff. But, it is a great place to get headline ideas.
Here are a few for you that I liked:
Free Tractor Tire! Yeah, a TRACTOR TIRE!
Rant: Person with a wooden leg that lives above me.
Firewood - good well seasoned and lots of it
Enjoy!
They Laughed When I Sucker-Punched Google. But When They Saw My Results…
That’s right. YOU can sucker-punch the tar out of Google too.
Wouldn’t that feel…great?
Let’s do it!
Yes, that’s right. We only need to start using YouTube.
How to Survive (and Yes, Even Thrive) Using YouTube
What’s that you say?
Youtube is “the stupid-videos site”? Yes, it can be. But, that doesn’t change the fact that everyone seems to be using it to build huge brand loyalty, marketing audiences, and killer back-end sales.
Everyone except you.
Here’s what you are missing.
