Testing is vital for email, banner ads, TV… every direct marketing campaign.Prosata
If you can’t test it, don’t do it!
Let’s look at the test results for a magalog – a direct mail piece that looks, feels and reads like a magazine. But it’s not.
It’s a sales piece – an infomercial in print.
I tested two magalog covers I had created for my client Prosata. The magalogs were aimed at consumers who worried about prostate problems.
Both magalogs contained the same information inside and both featured a picture of Dr. Larry Doss.
Test: Cover A read: “97% of men suffer from some type of prostate problem, but…these amazing nutrients could help you join the 3% who live worry-free!”
Cover B read: “Breakthrough Prostate remedy taps decades of scientific research, brings relief in as little as 30 days!” An amazing combination of 14 products offers new hope for millions of sufferers!
Before you look at the answer below, take a guess at which version generated a higher response.
Result: Cover B was the clear winner, with a 79% higher response rate.
