Don't underestimate the power of handheld video
Face time with customers is more imporatant than ever. While print ads are good, handheld video on an iPhone, iPod Touch or other mobile device gives you a better way to communicate than a print peice ever will.

Print ads, video and direct mail
With any ad, it's imperative that you speak to the audience that you're trying to connect with. This means that you need to fully understand what will capture their attention, drive recall and association and trigger a response that draws them to your products.

Hire the right production team. This holds true for all media types. Selecting a company to produce a print ad when their core competence is in video production will lead to disastrous results. It's important that your production people use the right tools and understand the media that they are producing for in order to bring about a successful result. And be sure that you let the marketing arm drive the creative. Having a fantastic creative team that has no understanding of or guidance in the area of your market will most likely lead to a snazzy ad that lacks the ability to connect with consumers.

Don't shoot for a Super Bowl style ad that may be stylish and hip, but leave the consumer wondering what you're selling. Produce ads that sell...that drive recall and association...that bring buyers.
