Rule #1 Thou Shall Not Copy

If there's one problem in all advertising, marketing, and promotional efforts, it is the sheer fact that there is too much competition out there. Everything just seems the same. If one copies another company let alone another company's promotional efforts, it only serves as a reminder of one's competition. Therefore, you don't want to remind your prospects about your competition, do you? So, don't copy them (or as Earl Nightingale once said), "Don't copy, create!" Be unique. Be original. Be special. Be so different that, if possible (and it is), your name or the name of your firm as well as the services you deliver become generic in the minds of prospects.
