Tell Them What They Will Loose
 

The secret to success, in life and in business, is to work hard at the margin. Relentlessly. Those little marginal extra efforts will inevitably grow into something big.

 
***  ''God is in the details''
 

In the next few moments you will discover how to
be a far more successful direct  marketing
entrepreneur.

Today I'm going to reveal a powerful yet little-
known marketing tip that can increase your profits
100-fold.  This is not a misprint!

Nearly every entrepreneur, marketer and  copywriter
I know makes a huge mistake.  Perhaps this includes
you.  

Every time you plan your marketing and advertising,
do you make an offer where you stress only the
benefits?  Do you focus only on what will be  gained
by buying your product?

Does this sound familiar?  Whether you  have a work-
from-home business, are running an internet
business, or run a medium or large company, if the
answer is yes, you are not alone.

As my friends in Australia say, "No worries mate."

I'm  going to share a huge success secret today I've
never stressed previously.  Nor have I seen anyone
else do so before.

Before I unveil the way you  can really make money
selling your own products, lest I be misunderstood,
I'm not saying "hope of reward" in your copy cannot
be a successful  marketing strategy.  On the contrary,
in some cases it beats all other approaches.

Indeed, I often employ "hope of reward" and
"what you  will gain" hot buttons very profitably.
And so do other successful marketers.   

Of course, the beauty of direct marketing in any
form is you don't  have to guess.  You can evaluate
the result accurately through scientific tests.

Today's object lesson is that I've made perhaps
100 times more money for myself and as a marketing
consultant for clients worldwide pressing  another
hot button.

The emotion touched is fear of loss.

**  Everyone really hates to lose  **

When you tell a prospective customer what they
will lose by not accepting your offer, a big
percentage of them will buy!

Here are a few examples of products, marketing
strategies and business types where I've pressed
this hot button and driven sales through the roof.

**  Information Products  **

I could go on with many  more examples.  However,
I urge you to study the foregoing.  Think about
your product or service.  Allow your creative
juices to  flow.

Then do a direct marketing test.  Use online
advertising via  e-mail, a direct mail sales letter,
postcard, or radio or TV commercial.  Create an
offer telling your prospective customers what
they will lose if they don't buy your product now.

Send 50% of a test group of customers  your new
offer.  Send the other 50% of the test group your
present best "what they will gain" offer.

Then compare results.  I know from  experience in
many cases your new offer will pull a far more
profitable response.

When this happens to you, I'd love to hear
about it.

Stay tuned for continued tips and proven
strategies that will increase your sales and
profits.

P.S.  Another reviewer  of my book, How to Turn
Words Into Money, states:

"Although I have no  practical experience with
advertising and bought your book out of mere
curiosity I must admit that I am really impressed.
There is not a tiny  bit of the usual 'bla,bla' --
every thing is very much 'hands on' and it is
a pleasure to read.

"I am surprised that someone who is as successful  as
you is sharing his experience and insights with
ordinary people. To me your advice appears extremely
valuable.

"Thank your very much!"

Patrick Christener, Germany

P.P.S.  Success seldom rests on the big things.
It's doing lots of small things well over and over.  
Success is in the  margin.
