Casual Articles - Sales Letters: Teasing Your Way To Higher Response
I often speak with business owners who wonder how much time they should be spending marketing their business. Do you know how much is enough?In a recent interview with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Richard Branson explained how he managed his time. The owner and foun
So which one works better? Well, Tactic #1 may be opened more often. But Tactic #2 will usually have a better response (with one important caveat, which we’ll talk about in a minute). Why?

There are two common tactics in sales letter envelopes. Tactic #1 is to try getting in under the radar: Leave the envelope blank, hand write the address if possible, and leave the return address blank (or include only the actual address, with no company name). Hopefully, your prospect will mistake you for an actual personal letter, and you’ll at least get opened.
Tactic #2 is to come out with phasers on kill: Not only does your envelope admit to carrying a sales message inside, it actually launches into that message before it’s even opened – with a headline printed right on the outside.

Because Tactic # 1 gets your envelope opened, but unfortunately, it’s for all the wrong reasons. Your prospect tore it open thinking it could be a letter from Dear Aunt Susie. Or perhaps an old Sweetheart – who knew? Instead, he’s hit between the eyes with a sleazy sales message! He’s immediately disappointed and a bit miffed, and the letter winds up in the round file after all.
Tactic #2 works better because it’s honest. When well done, it connects with the prospect’s core buying emotion and sets him up for the sale. It draws him in, tickling his desire from the get-go.
Notice I said, “When well done.” (That’s the important caveat). Teaser copy on an envelope is just like a headline: It’s got to be good to work. Boring, irrelevant teasers get tossed. “Me-based” teasers get tossed.
