Article: Meaningless marketing jargon

E-mail Print

Why do so many of today's marketing messages contain meaningless jargon?  These are the expressions that have been so overused and abused that they no longer have any meaning and add nothing of value to the message!  In fact, the opposite is often true—the readers' eyes will glass over and the message will be lost. 

The following list is my compilation of the most annoying marketing words and expressions.  Avoid them at all costs!
