Hi Everyone

I would like to keep this simple and ask if anyone could post here an actual sales letter or advertisement here that worked.

We could all theorise endlessly about what could work or opinions but I would love to see the actual results of an actual letter.

I recently wrote a letter to 19 people and got 2 responses then I wrote another to 16 people and got zero responses,so I have more to learn but the short circuit would be to look at others success.

I think we would all benefit from this kind of information so I appreciate your help in advance.


Regards
Mark

Why dont you start with putting the letters that you have wrote onto the site here at UKSMF

Maybe we can help you directly instead. :')

Hi Dave

I appreciate the offer but what i really wanted was to review some real world examples of real letters that have already been sent out that really worked.
Is there anywhere that kind of information is available?

Mark

Not that I know of.

If anything if something works I think people keep it to themselves :')

Regards

Dave

Hi Mark!

I think Dave is right, the majority of people will still keep the sales letters they have created to themselves for the reason that they have found what has worked in they're market and it works/is working and sharing this with the world will not be in they're interest - this is understandable. But before I continue I will give you one piece of advice I have stuck by "NEVER COPY AND PASTE!".

You are right that looking at others examples will help you forward, but to put you on the right track.... take an hour out, think about your customers, what they're thought process is, how to "grab" they're attention amongst the daily onslaught of "junk mail". If one of them is your friend, ask him or her! (getting information from the horse's mouth will help a lot). If you have they're name your already half way in the door.

If you’re just starting with sales letters or your just looking for ideas there is plenty of help ranging from books, audio tapes, online videos, tutorials and I even keep anything I receive through the door that "grabs" my attention. You've already started to move by posting here - and my guess is you've posted in other places too!

All the best

P.s You will find conflicting information in places, it will be up to you (and your customers) which route you choose - or try both and compare the results

Hi again

Thanks ,that's good advice.

It's true that people will keep their good ideas to themselves most of the time but sometimes they like to share.

A good idea would be to look for advertisements that have been the same for quite some time as they wouldn't keep running the same ad if it wasn't working.

Know any like that?

Mark

Hi Mark,

Hope you had an awesome Christmas! Your right and there are plenty around. Theres a few that come to mind but you will find that some adverts are run repeatly to get inside your head; also watch out for over used phrases and sayings - if you hear the same advertising message over and over again for some time you become immune to the message and advertiment and it's the same for your readers - don't get me wrong though sometimes repeating messages are a good thing!

Have a great new years

All the best

Sam
