The Marketing Rebel Team wrote a new post 5 years, 5 months ago
If you just can't seem to write at a 5th grade level…Some people just naturally write using plain English and simple words. For others, it is not so easy (should I say “simple”?). They just […]

Chris Rock posted an update 5 years, 6 months ago · updated 5 years, 6 months ago
Hello rebels,
My name is Chris Rock (yes, seriously). I own a brewery in Orlando. Things are going very well for us and I want to continue that success.
My biggest challenge at the moment is finding a core message for the brewery. I THINK I have one, but need help nailing it down.
I also need help and feedback on the advertising we’re…Read more

Hey Chris, welcome.
A brewery. That sounds like a fun business to be in. (It sure is fun enough to be in from the buyer’s side of the transaction.)
What’s bugging you most about your core message?
-
It’s very fun. It’s challenging also. I suppose the thing that’s bugging me the most is not clarifying it yet.

John Carlton’s Best Ads: World Famous Street-Fighter Will Give You A FREE GUN
This piece has mailed as a letter and run as a magazine ad for over seven years. It's a prime example of ''in your face' muscle writing-- it literally asks you to find a large friend, and have him point the gun at you and squeeze the trigger. It's not a "nice" ad....
John Carlton’s Best Ads: A Special Notice
I always load up my ads with urgency. You never want to let your reader think she has the luxury to put the copy aside and think about the offer. World-class salesmen know that letting the prospect "think about it" will kill the sale. Here is an example of piling...
John Carlton’s Best Ads: Final Notice!
Another simple tactic to get extra readership out of an ad, without changing another word in the main copy. The "look" of the words "Final Notice" is important, too. It looks like a real stamp, and the ink is red. It is stamped off-center, so it appears to have been...
