This
is a close-up section of a full-page newspaper "advertorial,"
first used as a successful print advertisement,
then later used in dozens of direct mailings as
a folded tearsheet with a hand-written post-it note.
The three-day "Boot Camp" event it promotes
gradually increased in price from $995 in 1993 to
$4,995 by 1997, as a result of thousands of campaigns
using this and other approaches. |
