Developed and supervised marketing program including promotional sales, newsletters, catalog sales, web site, television show appearances, trade show booths and donations.
Developed and supervised advertising program for television, radio, newspaper and magazine advertisements for general store maintenance, retail sales, equipment repair and product displays. Maybe include some ##,s, $$, quantities, etc. in these descriptions which will make your resume stronger. Employers are especially interested in quantities and qualities.
Stay AWAY from words like "Responsible for ..” or “Oversaw …” or “Duties included” or “Able to…” which say you were "responsible" for the job but did you "do" the job or get results/ get the job done." Also avoid words that "hurt your resume."
To effectively describe past work accomplishments on your resume, use action wordsin verb phrases. See examples at this weblink.

If your resume is too long or too detailed, you may want to list only job titles and employer names with addresses for early work experiences or reduce the number of bullets for each work experience. One edition of your resume might be a “master resume” to record ALL previous personal work history. Then shorter versions of your resume can be prepared for distribution to prospective employers. Shorter versions will probably receive better responses from employers.
