Are you an advertising victim too?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_180\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">tested advertising methods book review<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I will tell you why \u201cTested Advertising Methods\u201d is \u00a0a must and why you should never run an advertising campaign before you have read the book.<\/p>\n<p>There are free assumptions you probably have when sending out an ad through the mail which can literally kill your campaign well before running it.<\/p>\n<p>First is: you assume that your advertisement will arrive to it\u2019s destination. All across the united states (probably this is the case in other countries too but on smaller scale) huge abandoned warehouses were found filled by undelivered advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>If your mailing looks like a blatant ad the postman will know well that you are most probably not waiting for that to arrive. <strong>Tested advertising methods<\/strong> will teach you the \u201cgifting mailing\u201d which will ensure that your ad gets to the hands of your target audience.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly: you assume that once your customers get your ad your ad will be read. You are mistaken. Just spend half an hour in the morning at the post office watching what are your potential customers doing with the mailing once they get it out of the post box.<\/p>\n<p>They are sorting through. If something looks like an ad gets thrown immediately to the trash can. I\u2019ve got many ideas from the <em>tested advertising methods<\/em> to conquer this by using curiosity, fear of loss and other emotions to get my mailing ripped open right on the spot. You don\u2019t want to miss this!<\/p>\n<p>Third is: you assume that your offer is just so good that obviously everyone wants to answer. Negative\u2026<\/p>\n<p>From the Tested Advertising methods book you will get hammered by ideas how to make it really happen. Your potential customers will never make their decisions on a whim in case they were already actively searching for your services.<\/p>\n<h2>But this is just the beginning and that is why I wanted to write a book review about tested advertising methods.<\/h2>\n<p>John Caples does a phenomenal job describing how we should approach every media we want to use for advertising purposes. You will not want to leave anything to chance after you got a hold os this book.<\/p>\n<p>Testing and tweaking your message to match the market, the media and to communicate your message clearly is an art and science.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of being \u00a0a science that \u00a0you can use formulas with several variables to do experiments. Once you find something which works you can repeat that and scale it up by spending more.<\/p>\n<p>Here comes the best part. Actually when you find something which works (means: it is profitable) and you repeat that process you are not spending any money but you get money every time you send out a mail.<\/p>\n<h3>I no wonder why this book was a huge success.<\/h3>\n<p>It takes out the guessing work from writing a successful ad copy. I could learn from the mistakes big or small agencies made before me.<\/p>\n<p>As an online (or wannabe) marketer you know that information and experience was always the most important asset you could have.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you just do SEO it really does matter how many visitors of yours converts into sales. If you don\u2019t realize that while using \u201cfree marketing\u201d what will happen if you venture into paid media later.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you but for me it does not feel good when I\u2019m burning money with a campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Make a wise decision and invest a couple dollars into this book. After reading this and researching some other genius direct response marketer you will understand the power of direct response marketing.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you great success with it.<br \/>\nNorbert<\/p>\n<p>ps: Want to study more about recent practitioners of direct response marketing?<br \/>\nThese two guys are pure geniuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tested Advertising Methods -Would You ride a car with oil on the windshield?
