People need to relax a bit, calling Xero "sexy" is a compliment and anyway, listen to the Xero screencasts, who in their right mind would call the voice of Matt Barnett anything other than sexy? ;-) The conservative accountants must be coming out….

There are good specific English words that describe Xero truthfully. I like Wayne's suggetion because that is honestly why we switched to xero.

"Easy" is good as it is, and I look forward to working with the system because of that. So to replace sexy adictive and fun - say Xero is the Easiest Accounting system bla bla, it is so simple to use that Xero is for dummies and the professionals love it to.

I am a business owner and having moved from MYOB not only has it decreased the time spent doing the accounts, but it actually helps me on a day to day basis to run the business. If I want sexy, I'm going elsewhere - if I want help with the business, I'll use xero. Nice to know one of your customers gets thrills using Xero, but I would say the majority are more along the lines of helping their business grow and that is where you should focus. You guys have a great system here - don't demean it with a rubbish ad.

From that point of view Xero is sexy. Addictive - well, can't say I've ever found "paperwork" addictive. It's a bit like brushing your teeth I suppose, you have to do it regularly so it doesn't really matter if it is addictive or not. It gets done.

Let us know how it works for you, as we've found our online presence works well, referrals etc, and thinking of trying radio. We've tried print media, I should have thrown a staff party every week for a month for what it cost us to run.
