Default TJ Rohleder space ad... - 07-25-2007, 02:53 PM

Below is the full page space ad T.J. Rohleder placed in the "Home Business Preview Guide"...

You can also download the page by going here:

It's a similar theme to the direct mail piece I received and posted on the forum not long ago...

I like it. (Wonder if he ever tested a different headline instead of that 80 year old one?) Looks like I'll have to look for that mag next time I'm at B&N (which should be on Friday).

Thanks for posting it Winicki.

I've just ordered a copy.

For $5, the worst that can happen is that I get a ton of mailing pieces for my swipe file.

Thankfully they didn't ask how someone in the UK could have received a copy of the ad... (I swiped the web address and coupon code directly from Michael Winicki's scan)

Within a week (or so) we've seen the "They All Laughed" HEADline at maxpersuasion dot com, the Rohleder ad above and today I get this...

Oh my!

Default These People Are Testing At Least Three Different Headlines - 07-26-2007, 10:51 AM

Dear Subtle,

I don't know if you saw it, but these people are testing three different headlines. The Caples' swipe is just one of them.

I just wonder why they don't do multivariate testing, instead.

What do you think of their piece, Mr Subtle? Long, very long headline, indeed.

Sincerely,

Swans G Paul

Number 3 is probably testing their e-mail campaign. The other two could be Google and Yahoo PPC tests.

Yeah, but any decent graphic designer could have kept all the words in the HEADline but not made it as BIG and made it EASIER to read.
