You don't want your competitors to read this!
In the next few moments, I'm going to reveal to you a simple and
yet, little known technique that's being neglected by 95% of the
website sales letters out there. This technique when applied to
your website's sales presentation can increase response. What am
I talking about? I'm talking about the "Lift Letter."
Having a lift letter integrated with your website's main sales letter
may just be the shock force that sends a surge of more sales rolling
in. Ok, you may be asking, "What is a lift letter?"
A lift letter is nothing more than another one or two page sales
letter in addition to your main sales letter. Question. Have you
ever gotten a direct mail package containing a little folded note
urging you to buy, which was usually a canary yellow or light blue
color? That's a lift letter. Many direct mail packages use them.
However, there has been debate as whether they are worth the cost.
Why? As you know, conducting a direct mail campaign can be expensive!
And most savvy companies, once they have a successful direct mail
package try to streamline it to make it more cost-effective
without suppressing response. And sometimes that lift letter is
scrapped. But how does this apply to you?
You have a website business. And chances are, you have a 6-14 page
website sales letter. To add a link on your website to a web page
with a lift letter on it, won't cost you a cent! How do you set
up a lift letter?
At the remaining last 2-3 closing paragraphs of your website's sales
letter, simply add a link saying something like this:
Still unsure? Click here. /Want more proof?
Click Here. /Need another opinion? Click Here.
These links simply lead to a web page with a 1-2 page lift letter.
You could even have a lift letter of 5 pages, as there are no set
rules here. You can also place one of these links in a P.S. as well.
Or even on an order page.
Tips for creating a compelling lift letter:
* It can simply be a long testimonial or endorsement.
* It can be in a memo format.
* It can be in a news release format.
* It can simply be a sales letter with someone else’s signature
at the end.
The main point to remember here is
that your lift letter needs to be signed by someone else other than
you or your company to make your sales presentation more believable
and persuasive.
Go ahead and start testing a lift letter to see if it pulls in more
sales for you. And tell me about your success.
