We want to get as much stuff crammed into that space that we can so that everything is covered sometimes that is not the best way to do it. but in this particular want to sit by redoing your cabinets you know change only the fronts of your outdated cabinets reface don't replace. There's really no compelling headline there there's pictures you know little before and after pictures and is old and outdated the new now updated. There is so much stuff crammed into the ad That it is confusing. Confusing says I’m not going to look any more I’m not interested Again, there is no compelling headline something to grab your attention to make you want to continue looking at the ad.
