Welcome 2010!

In a major faux pas I’m going to quote someone anonymously here:

Dear 2009 – after much review I (and several friends) have decided that you suck. Therefore, we have replaced you with a better looking 2010.

With a hearty “Here, here!” I welcome you to 2010. May your profits rise, your overhead lower, and your job satisfaction increase!

I’ve been a busy bee! With some new and exciting projects on the table (more to come later on that), I’ve also been revving up the posts at my pet project, Green Your Apartment.

Please check out great new posts including Seasonal Winter Cooking where I discuss using seasonal fruits and veggies for your meals, answer What Is High Fructose Corn Syrup?, feature a great new Sustainable Product of the Week and even showcase our latest Tips for Green Living Carnival!

Trader Joe’s Does It Again

I am a big fan of the copy Trader Joe’s uses to sell its products. I’m sure other have come before me, but they have a succinct and often hilarious way of grabbing their customers attention.

For example, their bathroom tissue:

This is good copy. Trader Joe’s knows their market and is reaching out to them in ways that will catch their customers eye. It caught mine!

Welcome to Four Fifty One Media! DMR Writing Services has indeed been shut down but we are happy to have you with us.

To be honest, my business was experiencing growing pains. DMR Writing Services was a limited brand that was no longer working well for me as I was expanding. So, I decided a good strong change was in order. Instead of just offering articles, SEO, and blog post work, I have expanded into what came naturally – business copy (including websites, brochures, and in-house documents) and book writing. I have also dropped a few less profitable services, but alas, that’s business.

But perhaps the most personally exciting is I have also brought my some of my pet projects like Green Your Apartment under the fold of this new company. Please feel free to poke around and contact me!
