Some things in life defy logic.
For me, it’s golf.
Seems the harder I try, the more effort I put into the swing – the better my shot should be.
Seems logical, but – it doesn’t work.
Truth is, the harder I try, that’s right, the more I ‘grip it and rip it’ – the worse things go.
Apparently, a good golf swing has MORE to do with learning and practicing a smooth, relaxed swing.
Unfortunately, let’s just say – a slow, patient, relaxed and easy doesn’t exactly come naturally to me.
So, like I said at the beginning, a lot of things in life and in business surprise you, some even defy logic.
In marketing, the importance of a P.S. is
like that.
That’s right, a P.S. or Postscript used at the end of a marketing letter is very important.
But most people wouldn’t think so.
Yep, most people think a P.S. is simply an afterthought – something simply added on to the end of a letter for the heck of it.
Wrong.
Check out what I’m saying. That’s right, look it up online or in a reputable marketing book and I think you’ll find it’s absolutely TRUE.
In fact, some studies show the P.S. gets more attention than nearly anything else in your marketing piece – except the headline.
So, here’s the tip – make it count.
That’s right! Whatever you put in your P.S. make it powerful, make it work for you.
What could it be? Here’s a couple ideas:
