Sharon's Marketing Missive

When this Seattle copywriter gets busy, the blog gets neglected. I confess. So I love when something happens that makes me have to blog, like today.

Every day I get email requests for my marketing tips ebook. These email requests are usually straightforward, but often include nice praise too, like "love your Web site," "love to read your blog," etc.

This email request takes the cake as being the sweetest I ever received, so I just have to share...and wonder if they're buttering me up for something. Thanks, Lynn, for the kinds words to warm a copywriter's heart, and thanks also for letting me share your email in my blog:

I would like to request a copy of your e-marketing book. I thoroughly enjoy your Web site...such great information. Each morning I look forward to reading new posts on your Blog, and if not a new post...a previous one. We are in the process of redesigning our Web site and the information you provide has been very helpful. Yes...you “extremely bright, talented, informed and fun” women may indeed be the best copywriting agency on the West coast J

Now, if you're paying attention, you'll see this is also a cool way to use blogs as marketing tools: I get a nice email or comment, I put it in my blog and at the same time give myself a third-party endorsement. So, hint, hint, look out for those opportunities!
