Digg it UP - An Inconvenient Truth — A Failure to Persuade
Barcodes are created with the help of graphics. The codes make use of widths of white spaces and black bars. The widths of the spaces and bars must be printed within exact tolerances in order to be readable by most bar code readers and scanners. Presently, barcodes are created by Microsoft Windows using three main graphic types: bitmaps, fonts and metafiles.Bitmap is actually an array of small dots which are called pixels. An image is created with the dot resolution of any printer to create a barcode. Fonts, on the other hand, are not graphics in strict sense of the term but they can still be used to create bar codes. A font is in fact a collection of graphic elements that are assigned to each character in any given set of characters. Since mos

It’s actually very interesting to be with a celebrity endorser for a while at a public place and see if anyone recognizes them, comes up to them just to talk, ask if they are who they think they are, ask for an autograph, or tell them, “I remember when I used to watch you on TV”, etc. This simple little exercise, while never planned, gives us insight into the possible success of the celebrity endorser we are contemplating using and what type of value we might be adding to the company or product.One thing that we have found to be critical is to never ever try and bring a regional celebrity endorser into a market that is too far from that celebrity endorser roots. Don’t try and place a San Francisco person in a New York promotion unless that pe
Stealing Share is in the persuasion business, make no mistake about it. Our business category is brand development but our brand work must be, by definition, persuasive. Our goal for our clients is to create brands that grow market share by persuading customers who currently do not use or buy a given brand to revisit their purchase decision and to choose differently. We look for examples of persuasive success everywhere in the market. We can all learn from both the successes and failures of others.
A movie authored and starring former Vice President Al Gore called “An Inconvenient Truth” is worthy of consideration. Ostensibly, this critically acclaimed theatrical release is the culmination of a life-long personal crusade by Mr. Gore to raise international awareness of global warming. The film, for those of you who have not seen it, is an amalgam of a slide presentation Mr. Gore has been giving, by his own admission, over 1,000 times. The film is chocked full of disturbing images of global climate change, receding glaciations, and scientific documentation of the impending global catastrophe we all face if we do not become better stewards of our tiny blue planet. Ultimately, this film fails in its quest to persuade and the reasons for that failure are lessons that we all should learn.

Getting sick is no fun. What's even less fun is when you go to the doctor, he hands you that bill and it takes your insurance company forever to pay the claim. Medical billing may seem like a total nightmare sometimes and the truth is, it is. But few people understand the reasons. Hopefully, reading this will give you a basic idea of what all the problems are.There are many players involved in the medical billing world and you have to understand their role in this society and where they are coming from.For starters, we have the doctors. You have to understand that education costs today are insane. Just going to college to become a social worker can cost you $35,000 a year. Do you have any idea what it costs to become a doctor? It

Postcard serves as your mini billboard. It stands and serves as your representative in contacting people. They are tools that are perfectly used for advertisements, business reply, coupon cards, invitations and greeting cards. With the postcards you are able to make your business known globally and thus making a successful communication among people around the globe.First and foremost postcards are regarded as the most traveled promotional tool.

Have you ever asked yourself why a competitor’s business gets more attention than yours? The answer just may have to do with the elements that go into how memorable the business is. And that has to do with branding.But exactly what is branding, anyway? Think of branding as predefining what a company is all about in the minds of its clients. Good branding differentiates your products and services in a positive way that really sticks in the minds of potential customers.Let’s say you have been traveling around town without your morning coffee and are getting just a little cranky. Quick! What’s the first coffee shop chain that comes to mind? Chances are, you thought of Starbucks. Why?*Attractive and easily read logo;*Consistenc

Politics, you would think, is all about persuasion. However, if you look at it objectively, it is really all about party retention. Rarely are opinions changed or altered. At Stealing Share, we see brand as more closely aligned with anthropology (the study and observation of human behavior) than it is with traditional marketing. As such, we observe changes and dynamics in the currents of popular culture and use those understandings to greatly benefit our clients. It is not lost on us that the presidential debates that we all witness each four years are much more of a right of passage than they are a study in persuasion. The only voters who really debate the “debate’s” outcome are political pundits who seem to fill out a check sheet of point-counterpoint. They triumphantly name the winner of each debate and then tell us why. The problem is that if you talk to the voters, everyone believes that the candidate they supported before the debate won the contest. They all see it through the tinted lenses of their own brand. Each and every voter vehemently believes that their candidate won, even if it is by the slimmest margins.
