News-Style Advertising Vs Image And Name Recognition Advertising – 500% Response Increase!
There is no question that communications has caused our planet to shrink in a way. A news event anywhere in the world today can be communicated, almost instantly, to everyone else in the world. Newspapers, Radio, Television and the Internet have all contributed to this. Like any technology that brings benefits however, there are also drawbacks. Our world is one of communications bombardment. Over the course of an average day we are exposed to news, commercials and advertising through all of these media. The result of this is that we have become conditioned to blocking out only those items that we are interested in.
This has presented marketers with a challenge. How do they ensure that their target audience responds to their message? How do they get by the spam-like filters we have all developed to protect ourselves from information overload on a daily basis? This is where “News-style Advertising” comes in. This style has been developed to slip past our advertising filters. This is accomplished by presenting the marketers message in a manner more consistent with news. News-style advertising doesn’t look like advertising. It has no pictures or graphics. It contains no slogans or logos. There is nothing associated with it that would give the reader any reason to suspect that it is being sponsored by any company or individual. It contains a headline, copy and a method for the reader to get additional information, such as an 800 number, if they buy into the copy.
The reason why this type of advertising is simple and ties back into our mental spam filters. Assume we scan a newspaper or magazine and see something with a Headline that appeals to some issue or problem we are dealing with at that time. Because it is news-like in appearance it is not threatening. Our need drives us to read the article, generally short in nature. This is also appealing since it does not represent a great deal of investment on our part. The response mechanism allows us to get more information if what we have read in the article makes sense to us and represents a viable solution to our issue. It is because it is non-threatening in nature that it is able to generate the response numbers up to 500% better than other techniques.
This very effective form of advertising has actually been incorporated into a robust marketing strategy by one company. That company is Automated Marketing Solutions or AMS.

Putting a direct mail package together takes more planning than most people realise. It has to look attractive, capture the eye, interest the audience and retain their attention for more than a couple of seconds. Depending on the media used, the postcard, letter or envelope design has to be simple but attractive, and not look like typical direct marketing. The copy has to be compelling enough to interest the reader, and to call them to action as well as highlight the benefits of the product or service.

Finding direct mail and internet marketing experts who truly understand their craft is a rarity. While they exist, they tend to be associated with some of the larger direct marketing brands

Very first time for me going to your web site, I completely enjoyed your post and will be back soon.

Good morning!
I’ve been doing a lot of research online lately regarding traffic and SEO since I just opened up an website with a couple of friends of mine.
The information offered on your site would be of great value to our visitors and I believe your visitors would find great value in our site. Because our two websites are complementary rather than competitive, I see synergy here as an opportunity for our mutual benefit and I’d really like to exchange links with you. Have a look at our website if you want, we put a lot of work and effort into it and are dedicated to improve it constantly.
We receive a lot of hits already (contact me for visitor stats) and I think both our sites can benefit from one another.
Anyway, just thought I’d share this with you – keep up the good work buddy and contact me if interested!

Hello, I do not usually post feedback on blogs, as I like to read only. However I discover the article that you’ve got written earlier has very insightful info, and I discover it very informational. Anyway, I am questioning whether or not you might be open for hyperlink change, as I hope that we are able to agree on a mutual hyperlink change agreement. Hope to listen to a constructive reply from you, and have an important day!
