Seminar by Mike French
What you must KNOW and DO to make YOUR advertising WORK.
Synopsis: This is a "How to Seminar." In it, I explain the nuts and bolts of direct-response advertising as applied specifically to the automotive recycler's type of business. I show many good and bad ad examples on PowerPoint, and I explain what makes advertising succeed or fail. Lots of tricks of the trade. I explain how to apply the "secret" response-pulling ingredients that most forget to include in their ads, but makes all the difference in the world to its response rate. I show how a few simple changes made to a yellow page ad will turn an otherwise ineffective ad into a "phone-ringer". This information is from my marketing course: " How to get more customers in one single month than you are now getting in one full year, GUARANTEED! " Attendees to my seminar will also receive a free marketing kit containing ad examples as well as a free 16-page marketing booklet I wrote especially for recyclers: "The Nuts and Bolts of Marketing Your Business".
