Editorial Reviews

Review

"CASHVERTISING is a virtual blueprint for persuading the consumer mind. It's fast, fun, and a must-read for businesses in all industries." --Roger Dawson, author of Secrets of Power Negotiating

"The author has surveyed the broad field of salesmanship and distilled it down to a series of principles, secrets, and response-boosting techniques in a well-organized, entertaining, and easy-to-read format. Whether you are a newbie or veteran, Drew Eric Whitman's CASHVERTISING is a reference you will turn to again and again." --Robert W. Bly, author of The Copywriter's Handbook

"Wow! Simply the most powerful advertising toolkit I've ever seen. Gives you instant access to hundreds of proven techniques and priceless psychological insights, presented with verve and humor. Whitman knows his craft inside out, and he's clearly done his homework...I only wish his book had been around when I was starting out! Buy it and save yourself years of trial and error." --Richard Bayan, author of Words That Sell

Product Description

FACT: Your brain is being controlled-and you don't even know it. Because if you think the ads you're seeing today are just pretty pictures with nice, creative copy, you're mistaken. Truth is, you are being powerfully influenced by dozens of proven scientific principles of advertising psychology... little-known techniques of consumer persuasion that go completely unnoticed by the buying public. And they're causing you-and millions like you-to spend enormous amounts of money every day on countless products and services. But what are these principles? How do they work? And how can you use them in your own advertising?

Prepare yourself for a unique learning experience as author Drew Eric Whitman takes you on a wild, roller-coaster ride through the streets of New York's famed Madison Avenue and teaches you the specific psychological techniques that today's top copywriters and designers use to influence the masses... and how you can use them to rapidly increase your sales, no matter what you sell.

In 207 fast-moving pages, Whitman teaches you dozens of well-guarded secrets that he learned during his 25+ years in the ad business, including:

*60% of people read only your headline and what to do about it
*Captions under photos get 200% greater readership than non-headline copy
*Ads with sale prices draw 20% more attention
* To double your ad's attention-getting value, you must enlarge it 400%
*Four-color ads are up to 45% more effective than black and white
*Prices ending in "95" are less effective than those ending in "99"
*The psychology of size... page positioning... typefaces... pricing...social proof... and color
*How to make people believe what you say
*How to persuade people to respond
*Effective tricks for writing psychologically potent headlines
*What mistakes to avoid at all costs
*What you should always/never do in your ads
*Expert formulas, guidance, tips and strategies
*And much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars secret weapon, November 15, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Cashvertising is packed with insights about
what makes effective advertising. While much
of the second half of the book applies to
space advertising more than to salesletters
it's still really good stuff - some of it I
haven't seen elsewhere.

The best part of the book is the 2nd chapter:
"The 17 Foundational Principles of Consumer
Psychology" - where Whitman lets rip with witty,
incisive writing. While much of this stuff has
been written about by other marketing writers
the author here has a fun style and he's
great at getting you to think about the implications
of the ideas - and he also has good examples
of how to apply them to your advertising
writing.

All in all a book I'll be reading several times
I think. It's only about 200 pages but there's
a lot of informative data here broken-out
in a way that makes practical application
accessible.

Get this book. Great resource for advertising
pros or anyone who is in business and needs to
advertise, or for that matter, sell in person.

5.0 out of 5 stars I know this stuff works, June 16, 2009
By Jay Siff (Perkasie, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading CA$HVERTISING and being blown away by all the great information, I came here to write a glowing testimonial. But I see from all of the 5-Star reviews that others have said what I'm thinking and have done it more eloquently. So let me put a different slant on it.

My company has used Drew for our marketing for over 5 years. I've tested his stuff against some of the best in the business. He almost always wins! Simply... what Drew writes in his book is what he practices everyday. AND IT WORKS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome advice packed in a great format for newbies and pros alike, May 23, 2009
By TKV "Taryn" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I am new to the advertising and marketing space. I have spent my whole career helping to build businesses, yet somehow I always had other people work on the advertising and marketing. I decided to change this and picked up Ca$hvertising in Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago. I sat down to read it and couldn't put it down. I found myself turning page after page and thinking "Wow - this is so right on!" Let me be more specific about what I found useful:

-The book is focused on one topic: Advertising effectiveness. Everything you read will help you sell more. The great thing is that you will find yourself having so much fun learning! The way Drew writes is interesting and the messages Pop off the page. I found myself thinking again and again, "Wow - so that's how they get me to buy! Well it works!"

-It's packed full of incredibly useful information and examples. The beauty is that it's a fun read and massively informative. Drew has a way of saying a lot in a few words and examples. He quotes a lot of advertising geniuses, which is effective in giving his own message a lot of credibility.

-It's a data driven book, and yet you don't feel like you are reading too much data. For example, Drew provides charts showing how people respond to different colors in ads. Doesn't sound very interesting, does it? Yet here's the thing: it is interesting, at least the way he presents it. That's how everything in this book is: fascinating, fun and easy all at the same time.

-He covers a lot of ground even within a tightly scoped topic. At the end of the book you will be able to use online advertising tricks, create headlines, select fonts, write email copy, design print ads, set prices, etc. Somehow all of this is beautifully delivered in 194 fun pages that go by quickly.

I loved this book. In truth, I think it's brilliant. If I had one suggestion for the author (and it is truly only one suggestion), it would be to name the chapters something a little less salesy and a little more straightforward. This would help me find what I was looking for a little easier when I go back to re-read certain topics.

For $15 - why wouldn't you buy this book? People pay zillions to get the same advice from pros. After reading this book I felt I could get the same results myself.
