Marketing Hype Does Work If Used Correctly
by Jason Ryan Isaksen
There's a myth floating around that "marketing hype"
doesn't work anymore.
The people that make this claim usually believe that internet shoppers
are
highly educated and therefore only listen to a more
professional/academic
type of ad copy. Many marketers still think that a sales letter or
website
chalked full of "Sizzle" and "Hype" will scare the more intelligent
readers/prospects away. But it's just a proven fact that hyped up words
such as "Astonishing", "Remarkable", "Amazing", "Like Magic",
"Incredible",
etc. still work best at bringing in sales!
Only a very small percentage will be "Turned Off" by
this type of hyped up
marketing approach. Tests from several veterans of marketing including
myself have conclusively proven that your orders will double and triple
when
you use glamorous and exciting words that are considered to be hyped up
a
bit. After using words and phrases like "Free Bonus", "Act Now", "Don't
Wait", "Fantastic", "All New", "Proven", "The Truth", "Enormous",
"Astounding", etc. increased my sales by over 144%. So hype is not
dead!
We have all grown up listening to this type of hype on
commercials and
infomercials so we not only enjoy it, WE EXPECT IT! Yes, it's a fact
that
most consumers respond and enjoy being sold to the old fashioned hyped
up
way you still see on TV. If you don't know exactly what type of hype
I'm
talking about, just turn on your TV early on Saturday or Sunday morning
and
watch some of those half hour infomercials and pay attention to their
sales
approach. It's all marketing hype! But it works and if used correctly
it
pushes the buying buttons inside us all.
Yes, there are certain phrases and words that trigger
that part of our mind
that says "Yes, I need that!" "I want that thing right now!" Or "I
can't
live without that item!"
I used to watch those infomercials all the time on
Saturday and Sunday
morning to learn for myself how to push the "Buying Button" inside
consumers. I love watching that kind of marketing hype My family used
to
think I was nuts because after all, how many people purposely wake up
in the
morning and flip channels until they find a good long commercial to
watch?
Not many. But I'm guessing most of the best marketers in the world have
studied commercials the same way I did.
Once you understand the basics behind those "Buying
Buttons" and "Buying
Triggers" inside consumers you don't need to keep studying commercials.
I
studied commercials for about 3 Saturdays and 3 Sundays over 8 years
ago and
I haven't paid much attention to them since then. Because I know and
understand their secret hyped up sales methods and principles. I've
been
writing my own hyped up sales letters for the past 8 years and they've
proven to bring me over a million dollars so far. Yes, marketing hype
has
made me wealthy.
I've experimented with writing dry "No-Hype" sales
letters and my sales went
down by 43% during that testing period. There are very few products
that
can be sold using a "Level Headed", "Dry", "Hype-Free", sales approach.
Marketing Hype sells!
