RJTmedia provides bespoke solutions to help

you communicate effectively with your clients.

Clear Communication is Vital

Want to make more money? Of course you do. (Who wouldn’t?!) But if you’re not communicating effectively with your clients it is likely you are missing out on untapped trade.

A poorly presented message infers that the proprietor doesn’t care for quality or attention to detail which, in turn, indicates a poorly produced product.

Of course you wouldn’t. (And neither would your customers!) But, while each of these businesses may well check and maintain their stock diligently, even if they have only given the impression that they don’t you’ll certainly go elsewhere.

A well-constructed message that says what it means, in a way that the customer understands, will ultimately win business.

A good product, poorly presented, might win some business.

A good product properly presented will certainly win more.

DIY Writing: Pitfalls to Avoid

But if you'd still prefer to go it alone, here are a few things to keep in mind when you're writing a press release, sales copy or any other business literature.

Spelling and Punctuation Still Matter

In the age of txt spk many people argue that spelling and punctuation is no longer important in getting your message across. But if you advertise for a barista when you actually require a barrister you’re likely to find yourself in trouble.

Spellcheck Can’t Fix Everything!

To, too or two? There, they’re or their? Your, you’re or yaw? All these words are spelt correctly, butt ewes them in the wrong plaice and yule luck pretty Scilly. (Some great examples of over-reliance on computers can be found here.)

Say What You Mean

Don’t dress your message up to look like something it’s not. While it’s good to explore new markets, it’s far more efficient to communicate with a willing audience. Disguising your message will attract the attention of people who don’t want or need to hear it while hiding it from those who do.
