Killer Copy Won

Killer Copy Won’t Work without a Killer Order Form

Right here with order forms is where a lot of the best copy on the planet falls apart. Most are boring, not persuasive, and just plain ugly. Seems to me people, even experts, put an enormous amount of effort into writing the copy but little or none into arguably the most important aspect of killer copy, and that’s the order form.

I’ve made a precise science of this process, having studied geniuses like Ted Nicholas, Gary Halbert and Dan Kennedy. So here’s my take and what you NEED to do to fix this neglected area of the sales process! In fact, you’ll learn how to make yours stand out from the rest, compel your readers to purchase and dramatically increase your response rate.

This one will surprise you and it’s contrary to most but I doubt I differ from the guys above although I wouldn’t begin to compare myself to them. I’m just a bloody good student.

Create your offer first and write your order form first. Not just any old offer but a compelling offer that is sure to compel your prospect to buy. Well conceived offers can get you a sale where no sale exists and ensure that your copy is compelling. Writing the order form first forces you to comply with this process.

Your order form must be clear and precise and not confuse the prospect for half a second. Surprisingly some prospects even read your order form first, so the trick is to presume they haven’t read the sales copy first and your order form must be able to ‘do the job’ literally on it’s own and lead the client clearly and sequentially to what you want them to do, obviously, to order.

Where possible try not to use the term “Order Form”. Let’s face it, everyone knows when you order something it costs you money. Instead, try and turn this into a positive experience rather than a negative. Here’s just a few examples of what you can do:

Privilege Request
Audit Certificate
Membership Application
Enrolment Application
Enrolment Certificate
30 Day Trial Application
Official Privilege Invitation
Privilege Invitation
Privilege Certificate
Acceptance Certificate
Send no money!

Begin your copy with a paragraph stated in the prospects own words, such as:

o Yes! I’d like to INSTANTLY acquire KILLER copywriting skills so I can instantly extract the most amount of money from prospects and customers ethically, legally and morally by being able to write copy so good, I could sell sand in the desert! I want to use every tool I can to exploit human nature, and ethically make me a fortune helping my marketplace! I am anxious to become a better direct marketer, and realise that the “Killer Copywriting” pack is totally unique, cutting edge and is unavailable anywhere else! I also understand that all of “Killer Copywriting” comes with a no-hassle, 30 day money back guarantee! On that basis, please accept my order:

Although they have read the copy, restate what’s in it for them in your order form. Again, I’ll use an example to best describe what I’m referring to.

Secrets like:

ü How to quickly and easily turn 'everyday salesmanship' into irresistible sales copy that automatically puts the reader into a trance and forces them to buy your products!

ü How to use 'human psychology' to step inside your prospects mind and discover the exact words you have to say to them to get them to open up their wallets and give you money.

ü The complete guide to writing body copy that’s so persuasive, you’ll have to fight people off with a stick, as they beg you to take their money!

Plus… much, much more!

You’ll note I’ve used blind bullet points which I’ve extracted out of my main copy. Plus I’ve even restated the guarantee on the order form. All this keeps the prospect motivated to purchase and reminds them of why it’s such a great deal. The last thing you want to do is lose them at this point.

Clearly restate any gifts or free bonuses they get when they order now. But wait, there’s more! Four of my favourite words. Added value is a key component so make sure you restate any added value in your order form, including the actual dollar value and a deadline in which to qualify. This is your all important call to action.

Read the complete copy clearly and you’ll understand that nothing is left to chance where bonuses and added value is concerned.

Restate your guarantee. The bolder your guarantee, the bigger the orders. For example, 30 day hold send no money increases sales by up to 300% and doubles returns. Double your money back guarantees increase sales by up to 50% and decrease returns by up to 50%. Likewise, a 60 day guarantee out pulls a 30 day guarantee, a 90 day guarantee out pulls a 60 day guarantee and so on and so forth. A lifetime guarantee out pulls all of them although I’ve used Double Your Money Back with enormous success.

Use a fancy border and coloured paper. If you make it look like a certificate using a certificate type border and paper, this is best. You can still do that online with the graphics that are available to you today. Preferably only print on one side of an order form. Don’t know why but double sided order forms decrease sales. Some things just are.

Give the prospect multiple methods of response. Different individuals prefer to respond differently when it comes to placing an order. My experience is offline most use the phone, followed by mail and fax. Online you should also give them multiple methods of response. Here’s a sample:

Here's Five Easy Ways To Order!

To get all the FREE bonuses you must order before .

You can't afford to wait. You need to take immediate action by doing one of the following:

1) Order On Line...The fastest way to order is directly online - ORDER ONLINE WITH OUR SECURE SERVER SHOPPING CART

2) By Fax . . . Or, you can print out the order form and fax your order to (08) 9201 2133. We accept orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

3) 24 Hour Order Hotline...Alternatively you can ring with your credit card details to our 24 hour order line on (08) 9201 2122. If the lines are unattended please leave a message and we will get back to you the same day or you can leave details of the product you want to order, your name, address, credit details, don't forget the expiry date and please speak clearly to avoid any delays.

4) Snail Mail...The fourth option is to print out the order form and mail it to PO Box 83 Mount Hawthorn Perth, Western Australia, 6915. Your order will be processed the same day we receive and sent to you immediately. Please allow 7 - 10 days for postage within Australia, and 14-21 days for International Orders.

5) Pick Up In Person...You can of course, if you wish, visit my office to collect your order. We are easy to find and can be found just ten minutes from Perth Central GPO.

Order Now! Before you know it, you can be making some serious money in the comfort of your own home . . .

Always include a product table on the order form. Again this is to provide clarity, confuse them and you lose them. With a table they can clearly see everything they are getting and exactly what it is going to cost them. VERY VERY VERY important.

Total Value $7133, Your Price $667, You Save $6466

Of course it goes without saying you must list every product in your package, preferably what it is, by that I mean – manual, how many pages, CD, DVD etc. You do this both in a table and in your copy as you’ve witnessed described here.

11. Where possible and space permitting, include a photo of the product. People buy with their eyes, they like to see what they are getting for their money. The better the quality of the photo, the more products, the more likely you are to sell something.

12. Include a deadline/powerful call to action. Here’s a big one, often missed. Your order form should say something like “You must be one of the first 197 people to join before the date stamped in red at the top of the page to qualify for $6,466 in savings. Recently I made this particular offer at a seminar and added that you must be “one of the first 21 people to order to qualify for the massive saving plus the first 21 qualify for a half day coaching with myself, valued at $3000.”

Suffice to say there was a stampede to the table to be one of the first 21 to order. So… strong meaningful deadline and massive added value are a great combination. My sales about $70,000 in two hours. To learn how I did this visit here.

A final couple of hints I can offer, space permitting, is to include a photo of yourself or if you’ve got celebrity endorsement, a photo of that celebrity.

One final thing, don’t forget the details of how to order on your order form. It may even require a coupon. Anyway, I hope you never treat order forms with scant respect again.

By the way, if you are interested in ordering The "Killer Copy Writing" Course as I’ve described it from what you have read thus far, I have attached the very same privileged acceptance form I've included in this Rant. You should check it out any way to see how an "order form" should be done.

As always you can phone it through on 1800 685 155 with your credit card or mail it in with your cheque. Don’t forget to include your postal details.

Finally you can order it via our online secure server here.

Another thing before I forget, one of my greatest mentors is joining us, Ted Nicholas, at my event in October. If you haven’t registered for the pre-release yet, do it now because this event will be a sell out overnight when you see what else I’ve got planned. So head to our pre-registration page to enrol now.

Again, as always, Committed to Multiplying Your Profits and Guilty of Conspiracy to Committing Capitalism
