It’s refreshing to see a first date where the guy is finally being complete honest about his intentions… and a girl that is willing to accept that and takes the deal offered to her… lol!
“…OR… I can give you a cheeseburger…”
Just an annoying thing that I find popping up in my inbox… the incomplete, very uninformative subject line.
So… I’m not sure why people think its cool to put little to no info in the subject line, but it’s very annoying!
I understand that there are people out there that only get 1 email per week and don’t have a need a useful subject line, but I think a majority of us out there that DON’T use stone tablets and chisels… get at least 20 per day and benefit from proper subject line usage.
For those of us that get 100’s of emails… a blank subject line is about as helpful as tits on a boar. In my super crowded inbox, I rely on subject lines to navigate the maze… blanks or “hey”… easily get lost in the mix.
My advise (especially if you want a quick response from peeps)… please put something descriptive in the “subject line” field when you decide to write an email.
Here are some subject lines to avoid (especially in business correspondence):
In most cases, you can avoid the common problems with one simple step… Finish Your Thought! Just take a second to finish the thought you started in the subject line and it will be All Good :O)

Death to Highbacks!
I had never thought much about the highback binding system growing up… in fact, I embraced them. Crank up the forward lean and hit the mountain. It wasn’t ’til I got into slashing powder stashes and carving freshies that I began to wonder…
Ever since getting more into snowboarding in the backcountry, I have toy’d with the idea of removing the highback from my binding. I tend to snowboard in a “surf-style”… and the highback seems to go against the whole concept. I was “free” on one side (toe side), but completely locked in and rigid on the other (heel side). I enjoy riding POW because of the freedom you enjoy. So, doesn’t the highback binding stand in the way of true freedom?!
After reading a blog post on Transworld Snowboarding’s website by Mike Ranquet (“The Theory of No Highbacks by Mike Ranquet“), I am conviced that this is the way to go!
Next season, I will free my mind and free my body… by clipping my highbacks (or removing them… whatever).

Neighborhood Car Wash Marketing Strategies
So it’s not that complicated, Chicks in Bikinis draw hordes of people to your car wash… Dirty homeless looking guys holding the sign, just scares people away.
I am always amazed when I see the “charity car wash” that has the crusty, super dirty guy holding the sign. Come on guys, this really isn’t Rocket Science! I think there are a few successful techniques for a car wash… crusty guy holding the sign is NOT one of them.
Hot Chicks in Bikinis always puts asses in the seats.
I think few of other successful angles are: the church car wash, the sympathy based car wash (R.I.P. – in memory of – proceeds benefit the family of) or the kid related car wash (boyscouts, girlscouts, etc).
You Wanna Make Big $$$?
Combine the sympathy/charity with hot chicks in bikinis and RAKE IT IN!
