Advertising . . . .
under an advertised blanket,
on an advertised mattress,
pulls off advertised pajamas,
bathes in an advertised shower,
shaves with an advertised razor,
brushes his teeth with advertised toothpaste,
washes with advertised soap,
puts on advertised clothes,
drinks a cup of advertised coffee,
drives to work in an advertised car,
and then, refuses to advertise,
believing it doesn't pay.
Later when business is poor,
he advertises it for sale.
Why is it?

So what is in a name?
From a business perspective, your business name is very important as you want to be remembered. Just yesterday a ute (see below) drove passed me with this name painted on it: J.S & M Removals.
How many times do you see businesses named like this?
What does it tell you about the business?
Could that printed sign on the ute offer more than just J.S & M Removals?
So what does this have to do with eBay? Well all of you have an eBay ID and where as a buyer, your name means very little, as a seller it means everything.
Can you easily tell someone your name over the phone?
Can your name be easily pronounced?
Does your name offer words that may be off-putting to your buyers?
Recently I offered advice to a customer that the name they were using gave me a totally different impression to what they were selling. They totally agreed with me and changed their name to something more appropriate. The new name reflects their business and what their business is all about. Now every time they give feedback, their name alone is advertising what they sell.
Now that is REAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
Until next time,

I say . . . ..
- Get rid of plastic bags - go green and bring your own bags people
when you go shopping - No cruise ship terminal for the Gold Coast Spit
- Abolish compulsory voting - make every vote count!
- Why does the Gold Coast City Council allow a zero building line? Oh yes - they DO NOT have to live in one!
- Why is it that Gold Coasters do not know how to use an indicator?
- What is the 'Meaning Of Life'? I must remember to borrow this from the video shop to learn the 'real' meaning of life!
- Adult prices - 18 you are 'an adult'. - correct? Why then at theme parks, cinemas etc, you are an adult at 13? I think I need to pursue this one for all mankind! Well, at least parents with teenagers having to pay adult prices for their not-yet-old-enough to-work-or-vote under 18 year old CHILDREN!
- One Country with one education system
- One Country with 'clever' time zones
- One Country where everyone drives at 18!
- And lastly, all men MUST know how to cook like Jamie Oliver and more importantly . . . . DANCE! - Go Tom Williams!
