It's the Weekly What? for Friday, September 28th
Halloween is coming! Woo!Yay...yeah...cooool. Oh who are we kidding, we thought we could jump on the Halloween bandwagon a bit early, but our hearts just aren't in it. Give us a few weeks. Actually, now that we think about it we are looking forward to an inundation of Reese's peanut butter cups! And the special peanut butter pumpkins! Those too! Oh wow! Roll on Halloween, we can't wait! Okay, so while we wait, why don't you head over to our Facebook page and leave an answer to this week's question: "What's your favorite snack food?" 
Free Halloween-themed photos!In the spirit of getting things done really really early... oh wait. Did we just make a pun? Anywaayyy... here's a great round up of a decent selection of photos for your Halloween projects. Stop using goofy clip-art and step up to honest-to-goodness photos for your next Halloween party invite. So pro! Oooo...oooOOOOooo...whatever. >> Oh no! It's another branding article!We know this sort of thing bores you guys to tears, but it's something near and dear to us. Sometimes (most times?) you might choose to buy a good or service based on price (or a combination of features and price) but what really sinks the hook, and what keeps you buying the same brand of shoe or car or bicycle over and over and over is the company's story. How does the company do what it does? What values does the company espouse? When the company's story resonates with you (the customer), you become an advocate, a member of the "tribe." Here's a look at how to make your brand's story more compelling. This works for schools, carpet cleaners and shoe makers! Read more >> Wait! Don't recycle that cereal box!Around these parts we've earned the nickname "Cereal Killer" because we put away family size boxes of Cocoa Pebbles and Cap'n Crunch like there's no tomorrow. We used to just toss the empties into the recycle bin, but no more! We found this great little tutorial for turning empty cereal boxes into all sorts of neat things like gift boxes, pencil cases, and little note books! Check it out! >> How are we doing? Got a hot news tip? Something to share? Click here to drop us a line! Create a newsletter in Word! Yes you can!No, this is not another cheap attempt at a pre-Halloween-season scare. You can create a newsletter in Microsoft Word. However, you won't see "easy peasy" bandied about while describing the process. "Somewhat tolerable," and "mildly irritating"? Perhaps. Anyway, this little tutorial will have you churning out relatively simple yet attractive newsletters with just a smidgen of toil and cursing. Just make sure that you keep this new "special ability" under your hat otherwise you'll find yourself tasked with creating the company picnic newsletter, etc. Three column layout...go!! >> The (late) Kurt Vonnegut shares some tips for writing."How to write with style" was written by Mr. Vonnegut in 1980, but it's still really good reading and really good advice. Which WE obviously haven't taken to heart. Maybe someday, but... save yourselves while you can! We'll hold off the wolves of decent, engaging grammar and pithy pronouncements as long as we can... Aye, garn now, read it before it be too late!! >> Just the thing for all good writers...Waterproof notepads! Yeah! We don't know about you guys, but we get some of our best ideas while in the shower. In fact we're writing this very edition of the newsletter in the shower right now! Our computer keeps sparking and fizzing and giving off a burning feathers smell, but we won't let that worry us... we're writers on a roll! The guy at the Apple Store keeps trying to insist that showers don't constitute a valid warranty claim, but we're not having any of that. Still, maybe we'll get some of these AquaNotes for next week's newsletter! Writin' in the raaaiiiiin! >> The Friday Film: Super fast and super easy way to make donuts!You won't believe how easy it really can be! Mmmm donuts! >> The Weekly What? is more fun when you share! It's easy, just click the "Forward email" link below... keep going... a little farther down... there it is! Send this newsletter to a friend! Don't worry, we won't hit them up for money. |
