Dominate the top 1/3 of any promotion material with benefit oriented headlines, concise words, and short descriptive text, i.e., Free ? Special ? New ? Sale ? Guaranteed, Alaska Dog Sledding, etc.

3) Credibility Sells

Maximize your credibility - i.e., years in business, # of guests, safe destination, endorsed by, #1 in? licensed, bonded, Voted best?, etc.< br>

4) Use Testimonials Everywhere

Guest comments are written "word of mouth" endorsements.
