[Method] Can this dump, obviously bad 500-piece campaign generate back a single $?

2.5 hrs is not bad for distribution as mailing them out yourself would have been at least ~$200 I imagine.

Did you hit up an apartment complex or something though as 500 pieces is a lot to distribute in that timeframe though...or at least it sounds like it.

Any more news?

I'm waiting for Updates
I am planing to print 500 stickers (dating niche) and put them on busstop und Train stations

Yes, complexes only.

Haha, djlance. Can't quote you, system thinks I am posting urls or something

As I expected:

8 clicks on the credit offer.
1 on the coffe maker.
0 sales.

Time for some lessons learned:

-Write better copy. Take some time for that. Research your targeted market. Write for them and for them only.
-Print in better quality. The quality sucked. There was a h in the link that look like a b.
-The tearsheet effect wasn't worth the time. Because the effect wasn't there at all.
-Select better offers. Make sure out of every 100 people you hit at least more than 5. Ex.: Diet, Sex, Money
-Add QR-Codes

Stay tuned guys. Tonight I'll write another campaign. This time:
-Better offers
-Better place
-Better copy

Will be about 1.000 pieces. Promoting: High-converting dating pay-per-sale,
win a car pay-per-lead, star-featured weightloss pay-per-lead, plus one
more offer. Not selected yet.

First results? In 48 hrs.

QR codes dude! QR codes. But warning: They gotta be 300 dpi to print
them. Here's how you do that:

Create a free QR code online. Open in Gimp or Photoshop. Zoom in.
Take a screen cap. Save in new file.

Just making your stickers 300x200 pixel in ps will probably kill it. Make
it huge. 3000x2000 pixel or something like that. Will secure the QR code
to survive. Don't make it smaller than one inch x inch. So older cameras
can use it, too.

USE CURIOSITY! Maybe split-test Headline + QR vs QR only?

Keep us updated.

Would love to hear more about it. Which offers did you promote? How does the 'not-so-bad'-ROI
look in numbers?
Danke

I'd try to put an image of a good looking female on those stickers and dating flyers if possible.

Aviator was on yesterday and I had it on mute while I was working. There's a scene where Howard Hughes wanted clouds that looked liked mammaries for his film "Hell's Angels". Guess you could use an image with a hot chick floating on a cloud as well.

Looking forward to that!

Hot woman + QR code could bomb. Read a statistic yesterday... the number 1 reason why people buy and do stuff online with their smartphones is boredom. Lol. Guess you've targeted the right area virtue!

Some updates on what is about to happen:
Working on the new flyer. Here's a picture of it. The uncovered spots are left free for qr codes. Here you go:


More and better copy. Looks more editorial. Even two ads that look like classic advertising. Still easy to throw away, I know... but not for people eager to get more dates or lose fat. So it'll hit at least 20 of every 100 people I guess. Hope those guys will be in the mood, lol.

Results coming soon.

Kudos for taking action...this is exactly what I did when I first got started CPA.
Printed up some flyers and put them on cars at the supermarket and Home Depot.
But it bombed and you would be better served making videos and posting them to youtube to drive traffic.

Also, I noticed the Dan Kennedy book laying there in the background... so you have inspiration for real marketing.

With that said... Try to offer a free report or something about how easy it is getting credit with bad "Shufa" (not sure I spelled that right)
and then put your offer link in the report as the solution.

Good luck!

netcelal, I can't quote you. I'm fed up with the system that tells me I am posting URLs and stuff. Even after I removed the one your post included. Arrrrr. Hope I got the twist now:

Short version, 3rd try:
-Obviously you've had a winner. Think of testing that same campaign in nationwide local newspapers! And harvest the fruit of your working idea.
-Thank you for the advice. I'll rewrite my ad, because you're right... multifocus (in my case 4 offers) seldom leads to sales.

Therefore: Sorry for not posting results yet. Will test the campaign as soon as I've rewritten it. (Will focus completly on the weight loss market)

Thank you!

Sadly, for Kredit ohne Schufa there's very high competition. But still, that report idea is great, but by know I can't think of a prober way to apply profitably at this point. Because I am not that well studied, regarding yt & how to get my videos listed at google. As soon as I am less occupied I may give it a try!

He, yes, Dan Kennedy rocks.

great idea.. print still has some legs i guess!
