Contest: Help us Name our New Course and Win a $200 IRBStore.com Gift Certificate!
We’ve written a brand new Surveillance course but Scott and I still haven’t come up with an outstanding title that works for what will be in depth and current course on everything a private investigator needs to know about surveillance. The problem is that there are many books written about surveillance and we want our title to really stand out then let the course content do the rest. The course outline can be found below.
Which leads me to announce our first contest!
We will award a $200 IRBstore.com gift certificate (http://IRBstore.com) to the investigator who submits what we feel is the best title for our new online Surveillance course. We will also choose a runner-up winner and award him or her a free PIeducation.com course, an $89.95 value.
You can post your suggested titles in the comments section below or email them to me at info@pursuitmag.com. Be sure to leave your contact information too. Entries must be submitted to us before 5:00pm (CST) on Wednesday, January, 27 2010 in order to be eligible. On Thursday, January 28, 2009, we will announce the winner here on Pursuit Magazine and notify the winners by email.
If we end up using the winning title for the course, we will acknowledge the winner in the courses’ “acknowledgments and bibliography” section too.
Enter as many suggestions as you want but please do use Google to check whether the title is sufficiently original. Remember, all entries must be submitted to us before 5:00pm (CST) on Wednesday, January, 27 2010.
Have fun, thank you and good luck!

I would also recommend adding “: 2010 Edition” to any selected course name, to promote currency of information. This can be updated each year as slight upgrades are added.
For the targeted demographic, the name should be professional sounding, (not “too clever” or a play on words), and between 3 – 6 words long. A collegiate course format name would have better response than a retail/consumer sounding phrase, as the presentation is to a specific industry. This also makes the name compatible to being associated with the authors, and the related companies.
It is important that the name chosen will still be relevant in several years so that the course does not need to be renamed. This is a one-time branding opportunity for a course, and a quality name will make a big difference. Being descriptive, authoritative, and attractive are three important factors.
Good luck with your course offering, I am looking forward to its release.
