I love the ones that mimic mine tho... but you know what they say "imitation and flattery blah blah".
What would annoy me, as a shopper, are the ones that have one huge run on sentence that takes up the whole page. I read it and I am literally out of breath after reading it. Or the ones you can tell they had 6 too many redbulls before typing it. LOL
Again, I am just OCD with mine. I think a true Ad should be an investment.. of my own time.

I don't think good communication and punctuation make one OCD. I think it makes learned. I mean, the words you use when you communicate can really make the difference on how you market yourself. I know a provider without a high school diploma, but you'd never know it from her ads, and she fools many a client into believing her educational background that she markets herself with. It's all about the illusion anyway.
I agree, invest your time (it's what they are paying for anyway) into making sure the illusion and fantasy you are creating is the image you want to market, and the clientele you want to see. The women with the crap ads that demand top dollar, you really have to wonder...
At one point I thought about a market writing consultation service for providers, just to spell check ads.
But I thought it would probably be more frustrating than I could charge! Besides some of you girls should be consultants. Hmmm, maybe we just need a consulting firm!
Good thread. Marketing is still important, even if the product sells itself. Competition gets that way. This site is the market in action!
