A new client asked me how I continue to get double-digit increase responses from my copywriting and marketing strategies. I just smiled…
No really… I did!!
Then I finally sat him down in his black, tall-back, leather office chair and said – “xxx (cant’ tell his name of course), It’s all in the way you write the headline, word the body copy, construct your offer, present your call to action, track your results, where you place your marketing materials, how you set up your automatic follow-up process, construct the campaign for maximum success, layout the ad(s), and how you ask for the money!”
Oh my goodness! If looks could kill… You should have seen the confused, beastly scowl on his face as he ground his teeth.
“Relax!” I said. Then I pulled out his ad and showed him how I carefully began with an attention-stealing headline to get his ideal prospect’s attention.
Headlines are sooo important that I can’t begin to tell you (in the blog post) all of the necessary components you need when you’re trying to seize your perfect prospects attention.
Yet, there’s so much advertising material that waste the golden opportunity to reach, talk to, interrupt, grab, stop, suspend, butt into their prospects precious time.
Bizarrely (yep that’s a word look it up), I’ve heard people say before, “I don’t want to seem as if I am hard selling my prospect!!”
That’s a bunch of bull donkey! If you won’t say it directly to them at least let your marketing say it for you.
Your marketing materials should hold up the proverbial bright-red stop sign and say, “Hey You! Read Me Now!!” and then lead them through your well-constructed marketing / sales process through direct-response marketing techniques.
Well, an attention-stealing headline is one vital marketing building block I am going to show you how to create later this month on our live broadcast coming up on Wednesday June 25, 2008 at 6PM.
I will also be holding a live event on July 8th. Go to the Events Schedule page for more info.
Stay tuned for the details on where to go to register for this month’s “Live” broadcast event.
I’d love to hear your comment about the above… Holla!
