Applying the dedication and attention to detail she perfected during a 30-year career on Wall Street, she dove right in and began making other peoples’ travel dreams a reality. She soon realized that in travel, just like on Wall Street, you need to focus rather than generalize. It was during her first river cruise on AmaWaterways’ Colors of Provence, that Holly discovered a new-found passion in River Cruising. Holly’s love of River Cruising led her to develop her niche. However, it is her culinary background as a graduate of the French Culinary Institute and her love of all things food and wine which led her to create Bon Vivant Voyages, a division of Burnt Store Travel. With Bon Vivant Voyages, she combines her two passions— AMAzing Cruises and Culinary Adventures.

Ladies and gentlemen it is all about the basics … the fundamentals. You are simply making this thing harder than it has to be. I will continue.

Today I have three areas in your communications that will capture the attention of your audience so that you can deliver your marketing message to a receptive audience.

(1) You can never go wrong using someone’s name. Therefore, the very first word in any email should be the recipient’s name. They will see it and be drawn to it like the magnet it is.

(2) The eye is drawn to photos. Therefore, if you use pictures in your communications say something of importance under the picture. Do not fail to leverage this attention-getting real estate.

(3) Use a post script (PS) whenever the opportunity presents itself. People read the PS. Don’t waste this very real opportunity to drive home yet another salient point.

Remember, before you can communicate you must capture attention.
