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 Power Of Google Trends

Man, this is powerful stuff.

I’m talking about some new ways that you might not have heard of

that are popping up on-line.

Sure, they might have been awhile, but that doesn’t mean you and I were using them, now does it?

I know that most will tell ya that you gotta have a killer piece of software or something or other to be wildly successful making money on-line or to be able to run your business in circles around your competitors.

But,  I just don’t agree.

I mean, nothing beats hard work, sweat, tears, and Diet Coke and loads of coffee.

Unless you don’t know how to find a hungry audience for your product or service.
