With proper testing, education and and methodology you too can be guaranteed results from your advertising.

The first viable return on investment from your advertising is an inquiry for your product or service. It may be an email, a phone call or a visit to a store.

In any case this is just an inquiry for the goods or service. This is real evidence your advertising is working and generating a return on investment.

It may less conviction in Copy to make a Consumer write an email, and send it, as it would have taken to influence the same Consumer inquire verbally for the goods advertised, when visiting a store.

The customer may take direct action and order by phone or online. If the customer visits a store there is three times the chance the she will be influenced by competing products. There may be less expensive alternatives or the salesman may earn a higher commission on other products. The copy must stand up to this influence.

The ad which pulls consumers into retail outlets must be as full of influence as profitable mail order advertising. The consumer must be fortified against substitution.

If the ad fails to convince the consumers with a “Reason why” and conviction it could direct him to a retail store where they are switched to a competing brand, the the retailer is overstocked in, or that the salesman prefers. In which case we would be helping our competitors bottom line. Half the money spent to Keep the brand on peoples minds results in the substitution of non advertised goods for the those advertised through General advertising.

The ad must give them a better reason to buy our product or service than he is likely to get from the Salesperson for the competitions goods that Salesman will want to substitute. It must give him this reason in such undeniable form that he can comprehend without effort, so absolutely that he will believe our reasoning Claims. It must accomplish this in spite of his natural distrust of all Ads statements.

THerefore not more than 1/4 of those who, out of mere curiosity, buy the first package, through “branding” ever buy the 2nd or 3rd consecutive package of the same product. Because they do not buy on Conviction In the Meantime, it usually takes about all the profit in the first purchase of any “branding campaign” to pay the cost of introducing it to the Consumer through Advertising.

In contrast to branding “Reason-Why Advertising” or Salesmanship-on-Paper, results are insured and far more predictable. Consumers need only be convinced one time, through “Reason why advertising” or “Salesmanship- on-paper,” the product or service is best for them and their use.

With reason why advertising they begin using the article with an advance knowledge of, and belief in, its good points, his appreciation becomes permanent if the goods merit it. He therefore makes a second, third, and further consecutive purchases of the article as a result of having once read a single convincing “Reason-Why” advertisement about it.

Conviction qualities in copy are shown, by test, to be just as necessary in Advertising design to sell goods profitably today, through Retailers to Consumers, as they are to sell goods direct by mail to Consumers. That is why every Advertisement for goods to be sold through Retailers (against substitution, and “Don’t keep-it” influences), should have as much positive selling force, “Reason-why” and conviction in it, as would be necessary to sell the goods by mail direct to Consumers.

Advertisers who uses mere “General Publicity” or branding when they might have all that and, in addition, a positive Selling force combined with it is losing 50 percent to 80 per cent of the results they might have had from the same identical media space. Selling tests made on various kinds of Copy and Mediums have proved this for ?Reason-Why? which is the Heart and Soul and Essence of all good Advertising.
