Reel it in, Billy Mays.
Nobody ever bought a bottle of Grey Goose because: The wheat is harvested in August, the vodka is filtered through copper, it's bottled with a cork, there's 750 ml of liquid, it's 40% alcohol by volume, at 80 proof, and you'll even get this bunch of flying fucking geese on the label. (As fantastic as that is.)
Facts & features bore people.
It's why you can't find a Grey Goose ingredients list if you tried.
But rather, you find this, or this—neither of which say a word about vodka.
And a thousand about the person who drinks it.
How can you sell your customer on himself?
