David:
It’s unfortunate that on what would ordinarily be considered an informative piece of writing , that four words into the introduction there sits an in your face typo.
I’ll be honest with you, based on the associated subject matter, I would have expected much better.
For me, it ruined the entire read.
I know that you know this, but your “brand” is dependant on getting the message right and even slight oversights such as these adjust credibility .
I think consistent messaging is great advice. Too often you see mixed messages from email newsletters and social media. I know I’ve done it myself, and I’m a one man shop. I think you have to stay consisten and use the same verbiage everywhere to really get your USP across to your customers.
