A personal interest I know but why are business owners so sloppy about their approach; especially in trying times when every order is vital?

In a local newspaper two advertisements have been published. Small adverts in which the proprietor sets out the service he offers. One is an interior designer, the other financial services. Add two prominent estate agencies but they’re typical of many others.
 
Their adverts / websites are so amateurishly written; replete with spelling mistakes, poor grammar and sentence structure, one would think an eight-year old child had written them.
 
The proprietors have spent considerable sums of money to attract clients yet, to save a few euros, won’t have their copy licked into shape: A classic example of spoiling a ship for a ha’porth of tar. Would anyone place a £100,000 order with a company that can’t spell the simplest words? Crazy!

 I know what you mean, although I am guilty of the same thing.  I actually touch type so never double-check what I've written after finishing writing it.

When I do read it again the next day for example it's full of spelling mistakes.

But yes, they do give a very poor impression and it certainly puts me off responding to an ad.
