Celebrating National Punctuation Day

National Punctuation Day – Much more than just a celebration

CRS Editorial business cards and pens, with a cup of tea and papers on a white table.
Punctuation is important and requires your attention – or that of a professional.

Let’s eat grandma!

A fine example of the importance of punctuation, don’t you think?

Does your intended meaning come across, or do you find people have difficulty understanding the words you write?

Words have power, so allow them – and the punctuation you use (or not) – to work for you.

Not every example is as obvious as the one involving this poor grandma!

National Punctuation Day is celebrated on 24 September every year (honest!), so it’s always an apt time to remind you to take care when compiling the documents that advertise you and your business.

…I could go on.

It seems the to-do list is never-ending for business owners, but getting the basics right can lay strong foundations and build trust.
