I really like what you did but I have a few suggestions. To make it easier to read and understand maybe you should number the different features and make separate subtitles for the benefits and the data that backs up the benefits. Basically my suggestion is to label the things that you are talking about so that at a glance I can find the feature and benefits I am looking for. Sorry I don’t know if that makes sense.

I like the style as well but michelle has good suggestions. Another idea I would suggest is to inlclude some specific data that supports your position. It can be quotes or numbers, it doesn't matter, just something that gives credibility to what you're saying.

I like the way you positioned your company! This is definetly the best out of all of the groups! I think the only thing you could improve on is ... nothing!

Haha, good comment Ryan, I liked it. This is more how we did ours, and I thought yours was well done. Like Matt said, I like the ideas a lot, but maybe some facts to back up the ideas would be helpful, but thats all. Good work

Wait a sec ... isn't Ryan a member of this group? Just wondering. Good work. I concur with all that has been said or will be said. I think that you have good info, you just need to figure out a way to make it more understandable.

I liked this. I would agree with Michelle. I would also put in a little bit more detail with the features.

Good Job
