Posted to MediaSyndicate.com (Nov 28, 2009 - 07:29 PM) : As a holiday gift to business owners, marketing consultant Jay Huling will provide free copy critiques of ads, sales letters, brochures, e-mail marketing campaigns, or direct mail packages from now until the end of the year. The free service is offered as a second opinion so business owners can feel confident about the selling-power of their marketing and advertising copy.


"With the economy the way it is, a lot of business owners cut back on their marketing budgets," said Huling, who's written for companies large and small all across the country. "Sometimes business owners are writing copy themselves or having untrained staff do it, or they're hiring unproven, inexperienced junior copywriters to help out. I want those nervous marketers to know if their copy will work or not. That's why I'm offering this free second opinion for the holidays."

Huling said he often charges up to $1,500 for copy critiques of large projects but for smaller projects, such as a print ad or sales letter, his typical charge ranges between $300 and $750.

"I'll provide an in-depth written analysis of the copy -- whether it's a final version or simply an in-the-works draft'" said Huling. "It's perfect for business owners who can't afford a consultant because I'll offer an objective, confidential review of the selling power of the existing copy. And that can save thousands of dollars in missed response for large mailings or in an ad that never gets read."

Huling said he doesn't rewrite the copy under this arrangement, but he does offer detailed suggestions of each marketing communications piece submitted, and business owners are under no obligation.

There is a secret page on Huling's web site that contains the free offer. You can be a new or existing client to take advantage. The hidden page is not available through the navigation links of the site, but it can be accessed directly by entering http://www.jayhuling.com/FREE-secret-bonus-gift.html on your web browser.

Typical turnaround time for a free copy critique is three to five business days. Huling said if clients are in a pinch, he will work something out to provide his written review in time to meet their deadline.
