<\/p>\n

Our first entry in my exciting “Can You Write Better Than This Junk” <\/span>Contest<\/a> is from BIG John Small<\/span>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Thanks for doing this fun contest on a Monday! I usually wouldn’t have time to participate, but Mondays are a little slower for me.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to hear what others do with the info you sent. I have a feeling you’re going to get a WIDE VARIETY of submissions.<\/p>\n

I decided to speak to the “elephant in the room” with mine. I’m pretty sure they are doing this to get people to spend money during “the economic slow down.” I used it to our benefit as “the reason” to buy now. I know I could do this same ad a hundred different ways, but I have to get back to work now.<\/p>\n

Thanks again!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s Big John’s spot:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I might have forgotten to mention that everyone who submits a spot will enjoy the added pleasure of having the entire radio advertising world comment on it, critique it, tear it apart, viciously attack it, and engage in various other types of unwarranted acts of cruelty \u2014 all in the name of “constructive criticism.’<\/p>\n

So, Dear Reader, what do you think about Big John’s version?<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
