What can internet marketers learn from all the bank card gross sales letters that are available in the mail? In fact they most likely have some of the smartest and sneakest individuals writing their sales letter copy. Here is a real life of example of a credit card offer I got in the mail.
You are pre-approved to receive our Platinum Credit Card – a luxurious feature for those with excellent financial credentials, it’s your turn to say yes to us. This is definately a card that you’ll want to carry, it’s not someting that just anyone can get.
What an excellent opener. It tells the reader you are valuable because you are approved to carry this card. And your status will be elevated if you decide to use this card. It also says that you are special because it is a special card. The message is you’ll also be special if you carry this credit card.
For starters you’ll receive a low fixed APR on all of your balance for the next year. Then you rate will remain fixed for the next nine months. You’ll be eligible for a credit line up to $100,000 and pay no annual fee.
The next line is meant to get your attention and tell you more about the benefits. Notice how they keep you reading. That’s the whole goal of a sales copy. You want your audience to want to know more. You want them to be drooling over your product. Sentence one is a feature, sentence two is a feature, but sentence three tells you what you get if you use their product. This is how you better sell to your list. Just think of a few creative sentences that are eye catching. Then rewrite them.
With your Platinum Credit Card you’ll also be eligible for these special benefits: (The letter goes on to detail that. Notice how they make it sound like you already have the card).
The point being, you need to offer a bonus. Maybe it is coaching, maybe a short ebook you wrote on the subject. If you are promoting an affiliate link, maybe you to set up a squeeze page to get their email and then send them the bonus with your affiliate link. Another super tip is to to create a link like Get the Best Internet Marketing Device. Don’t tell them what the widget is because then they can evade your affiliate link. And then you don’t get paid.
I Hope you’ve found these few sales copy tips useful. If you’ve time please check out my best friend’s website about Trigeminal Neuralgia. He is creating awareness for this rare disease.
