Being in the Dallas social media marketing world, you have to have continuous inspiration. On top of constantly creating new content, it has to be great content, which isn’t always easy. I’m the type of person that always looks to quotes for inspiration or the occasional pick-me-up and I’ve found that even some writing legends felt this way. Here are three quotes that we at Agency Entourage live by:
1) “Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.” – Kurt Vonnegut
This is definitely one of the best things to remember when you’re creating any marketing piece. Whether it’s for a client in plumbing, gardening, retail, or insurance, we make sure to only create content that the audience will find interesting. Just like repeat customers are necessary in retail, we take our repeat readers seriously.
2) “I am sorry for such a long letter. I didn’t have time to write a short one.” —Mark Twain, however this is also attributed to others.
Even though the credit has been skewed, whoever said it must have known me in a past life because as soon as I read this quote, I immediately related to it. Sometimes there is so much information that you want to tell the reader, but you can’t without appealing to internet users and their short attention span. Even though it may take time, we always strive to create the most concise content possible.
3) “Short words are the best, and old words, when short, are the best of all.” —Winston Churchill
Never be afraid to experiment with word choices. This quote is particularly special to me because it sums up that what we produce for clients needs to be succinct as well as creative.
