Claude C. Hopkins  (1866-1932) was one of the great advertising pioneers, he believed advertising existed only to sell something and should be measurable and justify the results that it produced.

He worked for various advertisers, including Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, Swift & Company and Dr. Shoop’s patent medicine company. At the age of 41, he was hired by Albert Lasker owner of Lord & Thomas advertising in 1907 at a salary of $185,000 a year, Hopkins insisted copywriters researched their client products and produce reason-why copy. He believed that a good product was often its own best salesperson and as such he was a great believer in sampling.

To track the results of his advertising he used key coded coupons and then tested headlines, offers and propositions against one another. He used the analysis of these measurements to continually improve his ad results, driving responses and the cost effectiveness of his clients advertising spend.

His classic book, “Scientific Advertising,” was published in 1923, following his retirement from Lord & Thomas, where he finished his career as president and chairman. He died in 1932.

Now available over sixty of the Claude Hopkin’s original ads that I have compiled based on his classic books, “My Life in Advertising” and “Scientific Advertising.”   This ad collection includes many of the actual ads Claude Hopkins wrote:

They are as applicable today as they were when he wrote them … even more so since he has a fresh, direct, no-nonsense approach that grips you. Put Claude on your staff and bring life profits back into your losing promotions.

4. BONUS #3 The 1903 dead-man’s manuscript.

Here’s the story about a rare advertising manuscript. Wait till you get your greedy little hands on this. It’s a rare manuscript by Claude Hopkins’ arch enemy and number one rival, J. Walter Thompson. In this 1903 rare 57-page advertising manuscript , you’ll learn J. Walter Thompson’s teachings on the cardinal principles of advertising, marketing and salesmanship. Every lesson and word are still applicable today.

You’ll learn how The Lord & Thomas advertising agency and the J. Walter Thompson agency were extreme rivals during Claude Hopkins’ day. You’ll compare what Claude Hopkins’ teaches and what J. Walter Thompson was doing during this bitter rivalry. You’ll have the inside tactics on how both competitors approached challenges of marketing and advertising goods and services in the early 1900s. There’s nowhere else you’ll be able to find this gem. In my opinion, the skill with which these two leading agencies were doing advertising a century ago is better than any time in history. Once you dive into the secrets in this manuscript, you’ll know why.

5. BONUS #4 647 secret ad swipe file.

You’ll also receive access my new and exclusive web site on hard to find ads containing the most effective classic ads from the largest circulated publications during the1950-1960 era (most are over 50 years old). These are the ads used by The Wall Street Journal, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, General Electric, Ivory Soap, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, American Express Travelers Cheques, New York Stock Exchange, Quaker Oats, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Motorola, The Sugar Information Inc., Green Giant Company, Postum by General Foods Corp., Reynolds Wrap, Beltone Hearing Aid Company, Listerine mouthwash, and many other companies … BEFORE they fell into the trap of “Image Advertising.”

Every ad was selected for this collection only if it satisfied all 5 of the following criteria: it had a powerful headline, compelling copy, was written in editorial style, featured a classic product still around today and was a pure example of “salesmanship in print.”

I created this additional web site for my personal use to study great marketing ads, and to access a huge bank of killer ads and headline ideas. Now this extra collection of classic ads can be your own personal digital swipe file that you get for FREE when you order this course.

I may stop this bonus altogether at any time because — in all honestly —   A single ad can not only save you hundred if not thousands of dollars in copywriting fees, but when you use it as a model for your own ads it can send your sales conversions through the roof.

6. BONUS #5     101 Vintage Radio Ads  

Claude Hopkins worked for Albert Lasker, owner of the Lord and Thomas advertising agency, which pioneered radio advertising and created some of the first instances of “salesmanship on the air.” Lord and Thomas placed nearly half of all national radio advertising on NBC in 1927-28 and in the first four years of radio network operation purchased an astounding 30 percent of all national network time. It created shows for RCA, Cities Services, Pepsodent, Palmolive and yet other accounts Hopkins worked on. Albert Lasker experimented with many radio approaches (he introduced Bob Hope and Amos ‘n’ Andy to the airwaves, was the first to introduce a daily radio contest, and promoted Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and others) but initially insisted on using the same “Reason Why” tone and spirit that permeated Hopkins’ copy.

When you invest in the Claude Hopkins Rare Ad Collection and Marketing Study Guide, you not only will be able to see the long lost Claude Hopkins print ads, but will be able to hear over 101 extremely rare audio recordings of these early forays into radio advertising that sometimes used the Claude Hopkins copy!
