Commercial success

Every once in a while there’s a commercial on TV that resonates with us and reminds us that maybe there still is a bit of imagination and creativity left in the advertising business. We still love to yell, “Start the car, start the car” when we score a bargain, thanks to IKEA.

My friend Margaret just sent me a great one from the Canadian employee-owned airline, #WestJet westjetthat deserves a special mention. It’s particularly apropos during this season of giving. Have a look by clicking on the link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIEIvi2MuEk

    I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this
    post was good. I do not know who you are but certainly
    you are going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!

    But there’s nothing like spreading the morning paper out on the table while you take your time with morning coffee/tea. I’ve tried the iPad and it just doesn’t cut it. Appreciate your comments. Hope you’ll stay tuned.

    Why people still use to read news papers when in this technological world the
    whole thing is available on web?

    I have been exploring for a little for any high quality articles
    or blog posts in this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site.

    exactly what I needed. I such a lot indisputably will make
    sure to do not fail to remember this web site and provides it a look on a constant basis.

    I’ve only been blogging since last September so I’m a bit of a novice myself. Once I endured the learning curve associated with WordPress I found it can do all I want it to. Depends on what you hope to achieve whether you should paid for something fancier. I’m doing it for fun but a commercial application might require something a bit more sophisticated. Hope you’ll keep reading BoomerBroadcast.

    What you posted was very reasonable. However, what about this?

    suppose you were to write a killer headline? I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid., however
    suppose you added a post title to maybe get a person’s attention?
    I mean Commercial success | BOOMERBROADcast is a little vanilla.
    You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news titles to get people interested.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about
    everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

    Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused ..
    Any ideas? Cheers!

    Wow! Feel like I’m hardly qualified to give advice – however – don’t beat yourself up because it takes 10-15 minutes to get started. Writing starts with throwing everything on your mind down on the page/computer, then editing it a gazillion times until you like how it reads. I remember years ago reading a quote by the late Canadian author, Pierre Berton who stated that writers should never wait for inspiration or nothing will happen. It’s work and you just have to sit down and do it. It’s the old perspiration versus inspiration metaphor. Liking what you’re writing about makes it fun.

    First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting
    my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure
    in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any recommendations or hints? Thanks!

    Do you think the guy who asked for the underwear was a bit ticked he hadn’t gone for the big screen tv?

    Brilliant marketing on WestJet’s part…..even the grandkids have seen this one.

    Regards,
