I recently read a story about Ed Dale, Frank Kern and John Reese and their trip to Japan.
They made some amazing discoveries on the trip but there was one that really stood out for me.
See, they were riding the “bullet train” to see some temples in the city of Nara, which by the way are very beautiful. And sitting on the train Frank found a Japanese travel magazine sitting on the seat in front of him.
It was pretty much the same type of magazine that is seen on planes but was in Japanese.
So he starts thumbing through it and then he sees something that looks very familiar. Yeh, it was a bold headline and some very long copy and then what appears to be an order coupon at the bottom of the page.
If you didn’t get that it was….
A Long Form Direct Response Sales Letter Right There In Japan!
The guys could not read Japanese but the Train Attendants could and they could speak english too. When asked, they advised it was for a “Distance Learning Course” and that it was in the magazine all the time.
Ok, so there are 3 things to consider here:
1. It was an ad for a distance learning course. It is a “How To” product as in INFO PRODUCT.
2. It was in the magazine all the time so it must be working.
3. It truly was a direct response sales letter…. just like the kind you and I create all the time…. and it was working on the other side of the globe.
So what does this tell you?
