Something along the lines Jason suggests might move merchandise better.

Malcolm: so here it is the help I need now, if you can suggest something, I would be really grateful before I send out the job. This is the first time I ever deal with Ad, please help?
Malcolm Mayfield Mar 10, 2008:
It's your call, Joyce. Still, with all due respect to the bard, good ad copy shouldn't mystify.
Joyce Curran (asker) Mar 9, 2008:
Good wine needs no bush Hi, Malcolm: Thanks, I searched this saying again. It has been used in a lot of places, I believe it is correct. This saying came from a book by William Shakespeare.
Malcolm Mayfield Mar 8, 2008:
Think again, and don't judge so soon. Good wine needs no bush? I've never heard it used, period. You want to go with that?
William He Mar 7, 2008:
TO: Joyce
呵呵,互相学习!
Jason Ma Mar 7, 2008:
How about **A great product will speak for itself **?
