Examples of Bad Marketing  http://bit.ly/2yrthvY

this first ad is going to be example number one

and it's in our bad category mainly because it's probably size wise I say it's crammed full .

Five and a half by eight you know one of those little flyer magazines that you get it's got a lot of I mean a lot of content in it

I think that's what one of the things that makes an ad bad is that there's so much content into it that of course we always feel like we're spending a ton of money.

We want to get as much stuff crammed into that space that we can so that everything is covered sometimes that is not the best way to do it.

but in this particular want to sit by redoing your cabinets you know change only the fronts of your outdated cabinets reface don't replace.

There's really no compelling headline there there's pictures you know little before and after pictures and is old and outdated the new now updated.

There is so much stuff crammed into the ad That it is confusing. Confusing says I’m not going to look any more I’m not interested

Again, there is no compelling headline something to grab your attention to make you want to continue looking at the ad.

There are 3 actual examples I use today.

Go the link above ad really take a look at the marketing pieces and see if you can see what I’m talking about.

It all about knowing and learning what to expect from your marketing and what should be in your ads so that some sales person doesn’t sell you a line of goods.

They are sales people who work for marketing companies they are not marketers.

The next episode we get into good marketing and what to expect and why you position it a certain way.
