Actually, everything about the experience of receiving a package from Vosges Haut Chocolat sold me on this company and their product. But it was the list of ingredients that finally made me throw my Atkins diet out the window and grab a handful of chocolate candy.
Here's the description plastered on top of the box of caramel marshmallows that I just received:
Fluffy Marshmallows made with
Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans
Sweet Sugar Caramel
French Guerande Grey Sea Salt
Dark Chocolate
Pecan and Walnut Toffee Crumble Atop
I don't know about you, but while I might be able to resist your garden variety Sea Salt, when I'm offered French Guerande Grey Sea Salt, there is no more resisting temptation. That's when I fell face first into the box of candy.
Of course the experience made me start wondering how to apply a similar marketing approach to product sales, presentation titles, or even articles. For me, it just confirms the importance of details and descriptive text when you are telling a story. The restaurant folks know how to work the details when they are designing menus and educating their waitstaffs about the daily specials.
So instead of electronic working paper software for CPAs,
CaseWare is actually selling an electronic time saving productivity tool, containing :
Hours of code
plus softly shaded templates
lovingly written by adventure-seeking Canadians listening to hours of Grateful Dead music
while sipping mugs of steaming Earl Grey tea
imported daily from the shores of Nova Scotia.
I wonder if the software contains any carbs?

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com Archives
