As a marketer, a huge amount of your time is spent crafting the perfect message to really grab hold of the attention of your target audience in a way that they will be unable to break away from. The words that you're using are so important that many people fail to pay enough attention to another element that is just as necessary: typography. Simply put, the way that your message looks can ultimately affect everything from the way the reader digests it to how it is interpreted in a number of different ways.
Recently, a prospective client said they wanted to get customers' attention through non-traditional marketing using printed products. Who knew that in 2016, the printed word would be considered "non-traditional?" Non-traditional? We're saying this about a medium that was developed back in the 1400's by Johannes Gutenberg!

In another famous quote referring to the opinions of pessimistic critics and detractors he said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
In the world of business, one of the most powerful assets that you have is the deep, emotional, and very real connection that you're capable of making with the people around you. It doesn't matter if you're talking to a prospect or a client or a superior or someone in between, and it certainly makes no difference what industry you're operating in - this connection is everything. The key word here, however, is "real." If you talk to someone and see them as little more than a line item on a balance sheet, they're going to be able to tell and your relationship with that person is going to suffer. This is where the power of "you" comes in handy.
Any kind of marketing in an economy that is still sluggishly recovering is not easy.
