Re: Why is this direct mail piece a total failure?

When their main selling point is about "faster speed", (they mention it in the headline, sub-head, and first bullet point) why would they waste money targeting zip codes that already have higher internet speeds than what they're promoting? Couldn't the money could be better spent mailing ...

Re: Is this a good copy? Patience Is Key To Happiness

It seems heartfelt, and other than a few glaring grammar errors I like it. The 2 big questions I have are 1) Did you show it to your followers yet? 2) Did it get you any sales? Disclaimer: This is a sales pitch for my Christian Devotional titled Patience Is Key To Happiness. This devotional is aimed...

Would this be considered an advertorial? Or is there another name for it? Your post comes at a perfect time. Here's what happened. I have a landscaping client that sells a product/service called Foamsteam. It's a great product, does exactly as stated; however, he wasn't able to draw interest from hi...

Re: Ok my first attempt. Yes you can rip into it.

Target is to sell this software to companies who hire data entry staff . Convince them that they will save money and process more data. Any thoughts things I am missing to make the copy flow better ? Two things... 1) Where's the proof that it works and that it will do what you claim? 2) Why should ...

Re: Are there any proven email templates I can use?

With this client, it was hard enough to get him to agree to this storyline email. He cringed at the initial idea. Once he was supposedly onboard, that was the extent he would go. Our account manager tried multiple times, explaining the campaign wasn't finished and we needed to follow-up and try a d...

Re: Are there any proven email templates I can use?

Have you tried signing up for email lists from other successful marketers in your niche? Then you can see what they do and perhaps use some of their style as a templates to learn from. This is a good way to go. Just make sure to change it up. You don't want to send the exact same email as everyone ...

Re: Negotiating Boundaries & Payment

Issue/Question: The client has repeatedly gone back into the published blog to make changes. Given my name is on the piece, I feel compelled to follow-up by revisiting the post AGAIN - to fix new typos and make revisions, to ensure voice consistency. We have gone back and forth so many times now, t...
