Sheesh! This morning I put out a memo to the associates at my stores informing them of the upcoming Christmas luncheons at their locations. One paragraph, approximately 150 words.
Yesterday I published a memo for all company vehicle users about quarterly usage forms; same approximate word count, with a semi-sorta kinda Twilight Zone motif.
I attempt to be catchy, creative and even a bit corny-Anything but boring! I want the memos to be fun to read as well as informative. A short while ago the boss enters my office to tell me that my memoes are getting “a bit verbose”. Ouch!
I’d be interested to know though; would you prefer succinct and boring, or fun and informative (but to the point)?
Otherwise, just wanted to whine a little, this is MPSIMS, after all!
