We’ve all watched the Indiana Jones movies and wished that we could have adventures like him. Instead, we’re stuck working in business, and trying to figure out great marketing strategies that will actually help those businesses. Instead of wishing our lives were more adventurous, though, how about we take some good marketing lessons from Indy?
Correct Spelling and Grammar
Indy discovered just how important spelling was in The Last Crusade, while trying to get to the Holy Grail. Walking in the name of the lord, he tried to spell “Jehovah” with a “J” rather than the Latin “I,” and the path under him collapsed.
Your life might not hinge on having good grammar and perfect spelling, but the reputation of your company does. Before you release any ad copy for your marketing campaign, check the spelling and the grammar, or have someone you trust check it for you.
Concise Messages
Indy’s not one to beat around the bush. He gets right to the point and doesn’t let outside forces distract him (often). Whether he’s searching for his father or fighting for his life, he handles it as fast as he knows how to.
When you attempt any marketing strategy, get to the point. You only have about 5-7 seconds to capture your audience’s attention, and if you don’t get them in that time-span, you’ve lost. Get in quick, and get out quick. Be as concise as you can, and grab your audience’s attention.
