Back to Basics for VW
 

How you advertise often dictates how much you sell.

Just ask Volkswagen.  They just did a marketing u-turn.

Their just-fired Director of Brand Innovation, Kerri Martin, said this a few months prior to her being led out of VW headquarters by a company security guard:

"Taglines were "overrated," and "the essence of the creative idea is more powerful."

Wrong.  The essence of getting the sale is more powerful.  And sometimes, a trusted tagline ("Drivers Wanted") is what helps get the job done.

So much detail goes into a sale of any product.  Make sure you are detail oriented, and that you aren't changing strategies that have worked in the past just because you've been using them for a while.
