Today's Marketing Cookie - Always Move Forward

Today's Marketing Cookie - Get your goals high and you will always move forward.

"Get your goals high and you will always move forward."

Today's Marketing Cookie reminds me of how important it is to check for typos. LOL! If you "GET your goals high", they could have a nasty hangover on Monday morning.

I think they meant to write "SET your goals high", which would have given me an easy blog to write. However, that's not what it says, so we'll just move forward with what we've got. 

Back in the booming dot com days, I worked for weeks to design the new Website for a start-up that helped families manage their busy schedules. The CEO loved the design so much that he suggested we create a giant 12-foot poster to hang in the lobby so potential investors who visited the office could be impressed with a gigantic mockup of the Website designs. The only problem is that I misspelled a rather important word in the headline. Rather than writing, "Your Family Organizer", I had mistakenly written, "Your Family Orgasmer".

The worst part of the story is that NO ONE noticed the typo, except for the potential investors who visited the office. In this case... we did not move forward.

This one made me laugh. I think we have all made a real goof -but it has taught us to always use spellcheck before sending along the final copy. There are still a few things that spellcheck does not catch, so review your final copy one more time! Thanks, Myles!

I'm glad you appreciated this story Naomi... I don't remember much of anything else that happened that day. Ha Ha!
