Your Agenda

1. Sell something2. Sell something3. Sell something

Truth:Most business owners are just about clueless when it comes to advertising and marketing. They are therefore often advertising victims preyed on by media salespeople and ad agencies and others who don’t know any more about how to actually produce a customer or make a sale than they do!

That was then….this is now….

• Immune to noise• Harder to get and hold attention• 500 ads in 1970 to 3,000 in 2010• You better have something fascinating,

relevant, and compelling to say• Become a welcome guest vs. an annoying pest

Truth:Every business, past or present requires 3 things to prosper: a marketing message, a media to deliver it, and a market to receive and respond to it.

Your Business Isn’t Different

Markets: How to Discriminate for Fun and Profit

Your Who

• Describe their demographic traits; age, gender, ethnicity, culture, education, religious affiliation, political affiliation, economic status, sexual orientation, employment, marital status, children

• Describe their psychographic traits; values, behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs

• You are looking for profound biases that will allow you to pin point your target down to the tee

Message: Speaking Magnetically to Your Chosen Market

1. Customers/prospects are buried in communications2. Most communication intended to interest customers fails

miserably3. Communication about products and services (what you sell)

are generally more interesting to you than to your customers4. People are most interested in what interests them5. ** People are most easily and quickly interested in

information directly related to what interests them – especially information that promises fascinating secrets, solutions to problems, prevention for dire threats, promises of seductive benefits, or timely ‘breaking news’ **

You’ve Got The Power

Turning words into profits….that’s what sales letters do. If you’re a business owner, sales letters find new customers for you and persuade them to give you a chance. They keep existing customers connected to you and investing more. And, they bring back customers who have left the fold and encourage them to buy from you again.

Understand how they work and you’ll have the power to create a successful business…and the life you want to live --Katie Yeakle, AWAI

Formula

• Boldfacing: use bold type to emphasize subheading, important words, phrases, dates, and other segments of important copy

• Capitalization: use capitalization to set off words, as well as the first letter of each word in a headline

• Borders: draw attention to important ideas…testimonials, coupons, photos, etc.• Captions: these should be under illustrations, graphics, charts, and photos• Color: blues and softer colors relax us; reds and hotter colors energize us. • Fonts & Typeface: use serif fonts (short curls at the bottom) Times Roman, Courier for

print marketing and sans-serif (Arial or Verdana) for online marketing. Handwritten fonts for added personality

• Highlighting: emphasize key copy• Indenting: Indentation of paragraphs makes for easier reading and helps break up

long copy• Lists: Include bullets, numbers and checklists among your copy …communicates

priority and opens up your copy• Photo’s and Illustrations: studies show they are the 2 most often looked at parts of a

letter• Simulated hand-drawn doodles: www.copyenhancements.com • White Space: too much and you loose valuable; too little and the content is difficult

to read (leave white space around headlines and images for maximum impact)

Treat Every Lead Like Gold!

• Know your numbers – make sure everyone in your company knows your numbers

• Send entire campaign until prospect accepts the offer or asks to be removed

• Keep emailing
