Enjoyed today's e-mail too… Anyway, listen to me - I'm preaching to Drayton Bird about copywriting!
Customer Testimonials
I just wanted to get in touch to say thanks for the tips on your site. I find them really useful and I have passed the URL on to colleagues.
Drayton, love the helpful ideas! They're quirky, insightful and very interesting to read. Thanks! Can't wait for the next batch!
Keep up the good work my friend! I run a small private dental laboratory and would never have the financial clout to access the advertising and marketing expertise you provide in any other way. Some of your tips are so simple but make so much sense. Many thanks for your efforts on behalf of all business people out there.
Thanks... your message was inspiring.
Your 'Helpful Ideas' email is really good too. Loads of really useful stuff in there.
I have been receiving these and reading them and passing some of them onto my marketing colleague. Please continue to include me in your distribution.
I have them all saved and would not want you to stop sending them. Many thanks and please do continue to send them
Not dreary at all, I look forward to your emails. Many thanks!!
They are my favorite Emails so don't stop at fifty, keep going..........................
Best newsletter I've ever read and the only newsletter I really wait for. I could read your blog and newsletters till the cows come home. You points are so refreshing, it makes you cry when you think about all the utter garbage, politics and 'carefulness' that comes with big companies.
Utterly brilliant newsletters Drayton and Team. And thank goodness your pictures now work on my PC! A joy to read, possibly the only newsletter I look forward to, print, file and pass around. I'll be sad to say that in a few weeks time, I'll have reached the end of your hints, and will either be a customer (if I was in charge, or self employed, I would be), or drop off your work lead funnel ;-)
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your superbly scripted blog and have learned from your series of helpful tips. Many thanks again for cheering me up on numerous occasions over the last few weeks!
I am getting and reading most, forwarding many and enjoying them very much.
Keep sending messages. They brighten my otherwise lackluster days.
I am also really enjoying, and benefitting from, your series of hints and advice that you are emailing out. Today was no.5. Keep them coming. You have a very direct way of getting to the point that makes the little light bulbs come on.
Thanks for emails which I always enjoy.
I don't know how you do it. Every day you remind me of something close to my heart, a viewpoint long forgotten, or something I'm actively thinking about.
I appreciate your taking the time to share your experience and knowledge with me. The thing that strikes me the most though is how simple your guidance is. By simple I mean easy, uncomplicated, not simple minded. As I read some of your "helpful ideas" my reaction is - well yeah duh.
I'm tempted to reply to all your messages. They've been quite inspirational, and somehow everyone seems to be relevant to a project or subject we've been discussing in the office.
I do find all of this fascinating - so much so that you now have your own, your very own dossier on my laptop! A not inconsiderable accolade, I assure you!
Thanks for your email. I can assure you that I am receiving your emails and read them with great interest. Some of what you have mentioned I saw happen in my last job, which is great.
Your 51 ideas were brilliant and I soaked up each one, every day, like a sponge! Like I said, I read them at my leisure and follow their principles when I am writing. (Your book, Commonsense Direct Marketing, is brilliant too).
I would like to keep receiving your emails please. I make time to read them everyday & find them really useful.
Wonderful ideas indeed. Thank you for sharing them.
I’m writing to let ‘ya know I that I look forward to receiving and devouring your helpful ideas. The one below is exceptionally juicy.
Many thanks, as always, for your "Helpful Hints" email - it is a vital source of knowledge and ideas to me, and I devour it every time I receive it.
I always read your emails as they provide many practical, easy-to-implement tips. Thank you for keeping me on your mailing list.
I am really enjoying your helpful ideas - very good. Just keep going and I might one day become really savvy at marketing.
I’m a sole trader with a marketing back ground and find your e-mails brilliant.
