Happy April Fools!

Make sure you don’t get tricked this year by rumors, blogs and tom-foolery. Take everything today with a grain of salt. Are you starting your own April Foolery today? Just keep in mind before you write something salacious remember that you’re an ambassador of your brand.

View From a Different Perspective

  • If you must blog about something that isn’t truthful make sure it’s light-hearted and doesn’t offend anyone.
  • Have another family or friend or Twitterer look it over.
  • Extend the truth even more. Make it totally unbelieveable. Making it explicitly clear that it’s a prank may help.
  • Weigh the benefits: Is it really worth it? Can you make something like this viral or beneficial for internet traffic?

You’re credibility is at stake here
Are you able to convey your message clearly? Is it easier sometimes to make your joke a tall tale or hyperbole? Consider those things.

Benefits?

Having a well executed message on April fools might be a make or break situation. Sometimes being to apolitical or asensitive can be very unhelpful in a competitive space. Taking a risk in a funny prank can be helpful for your public relations and branding as the photographer with humor.
