John Carlton’s Best Ads:  The Dollar Bill Letter

Sometimes we all like to pretend we’re not motivated by money.

That’s fine to believe if you want…but you cannot afford such delusions if you are a marketer. People respond to money at a visceral level They almost never receive money for free, and especially not in the mail. Certainly not from a mysterious letter­ writer who only wants your brief attention in return. A chance to tell his story.

Here are three letters that use the lure of actual cash as a “grabber”:

1. The dollar bill letter. The bill replaces the need for any headline. A crisp new buck was hand-stapled onto every letter that went out. The product is a high-ticket item (selling for $377), so the extra cost was justified. Think about the “pull” of a real dollar bill. You might not bother to pick up a penny on the street… but no one steps over a stray dollar bill and keeps walking. You have the reader’s full and undivided attention: Why, he is asking himself, did someone send me a letter with a dollar bill attached?…
