THIS SIGNATURE TAG LINE MAKES US ANGRY.

DOES IT MAKE YOU MAD TOO?

 

Maxima Marketing

is expert at creating signature tag lines for clients, and we love an effective tag line such as "Things go better with Coke."

But we are appalled at a radio commercial for a hot sauce that contains the tag line, "I put that s**t on everything."  As a Boston-based marketing expert and author of a bestselling marketing book, I am disgusted that a company would promote itself to the public using such profanity. I am also demoralized and astounded that this profanity passes itself off as "creativity" and disguises itself as a "marketing strategy" when it's the exact opposite. What it really shows, among other things, is a disdain and disregard for other people.
It's like comedians who use bathroom humor and try to convince you that they're being "creative." Who needs --or wants -- that?   Whatever these folks are selling -- I'm not buying it.

Here are some fun facts about the professional background of Debbi Kickham, the president of Maxima Marketing:

¨ Debbi was an Editor at Robb Report magazine - "The Millionaire's Magazine" -- for four years, and also served as the magazine's on-air TV spokesperson. She can use this experience to address your business' marketing needs in a solid, productive and engaging way that increases your bottom line.

¨ While an advertising copywriter by day, Debbi worked doing stand-up comedy at night at the Comedy Connection in Boston, for two years. The result? Debbi always has a lighthearted and snappy way to convey her message, and humor is always part of her advice.

¨ Debbi is an expert in idea and concept development (many call her an "idea factory") who always has a clever or witty word -- making all of her communications fun-to-read - while delivering a potent message. Put on your seatbelt when you hear her speak - it's going to be a fun ride!

¨ Debbi has served as a professional on-air media spokesperson for companies that include AT&T, PersonalShopper.com, UndercoverWear, Sure Fit Slipcovers, and VELCRO USA.

MARKETING TIP OF THE MONTH:

DO GOOD FOR OTHERS, AND DO GOOD FOR YOURSELF

 

Have you ever considered Civic Marketing? It's a way to do good for the community while you also do good for your business. It can be as easy as sponsoring a section of the highway, or donating some of your income to charity.

 

We especially like creative Civic Marketing programs that are special, unique and different.  One of our favorites: the delicatessen that sponsored "a pint for a pint" with the local Red Cross. Whenever someone came in and donated a pint of blood, that person received a coupon for a free pint of chicken soup at the deli.  This program created strong brand awareness and visibility for the delicatessen, and was a huge success.

 

Let us know about some of your favorite Civic Marketing programs.  Email us at dkk@marketingauthor.com and tell us all about them and your subsequent successes!
