Subliminal Messages in Sales letters?

by Re-cycle

Ok so I wanted to share with you all a page that I'm 99% sure it has a subliminal message in the sales letter.

Notice the tiled background: Im pretty sure it says "order" inside each oval in the background.

here is the page: sales letter



weird huh? I wonder if this technique truly works...

    To be honest i don't see the word order at all... but maybe its my monitor settings or something! To me it just looks like a speech bubble and a lighter area in the middle in a pattern.

    Nup.. I see the same speech bubble.. if you look at it at an angle (ie look down on it) it looks smudged... but i think thats the guy trying to colour the bubble in photoshop!

    There are definitely key words people use and colours etc.. but I think that bubble is quite healthy.

      Actually yeah!

      Now when i tilt my laptop screen down and look at it from above it looks like hes smudged a graphic that use to say 'WTF' which is highly amusing if so and the smudges align to that too!

      Thanks for the laugh!

    I think it's a Rorschach test. It's looks like a mathematical formula to me!

    Something like 'µ=6vt'

    Subliminal messages to increase sales buy now doesn't work.

    Just a bunch of hocus pocus you want this.

    When you order today pay attention, it's so obvious do it what they're up to yes.

    :O

      If you're really interested in submilinal messaging/ influence, check out Salad NLP.

      They have some pretty cool products, I learned how to hypnotize people uisng their eriksonian (sp?) hypnosis deck.

      Was fun while people let me do it, but eventually they got freaked out.

        Yea they are very covert, the influence deck just gives you so many possibilities..

        I want to show you how
        For the people who already have purchased this product, the bla bla, agree that it's packed full of benefits.
        It's ok not to..

        Hehe I could go on and on, I've memorized quite a bit of the deck already..

        I just love using influence on people, not only in writing but in every day life.

        Experience show tha, the saland deck does come in handy. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can use what the decks have to offer. One of the things your going o love about the salad deck is the fact that the language patterns are so hypnotic and low key...enventuall i'll have to let you know I'm using 5 of them on you right now.

          HAHAHA excellent, they do work well when you fit a few into one sentence.

          It's just sheer copywriting excellence.

          I had to re-read that one before i realized what was happening. Kinda weird how the human brain just fills in the blanks.

    Theres nothing subliminal about that.

    Try reading one of Dan Kennedy's salesletter - he knows how to create "subliminal" messages, but it's not what most people think it is.

    The so-called subliminal thing is not a direct tactic, but rather the effect of words when you speak directly to people on an emotional level.

    Forget about "magical colors" on a webpage. It's total BS. Learn good copywriting and learn to get inside the head of your prospects.

    That's where the magic happens.

      I photoshopped the background image and adjusted the exposure levels. I also think it once said WTF which is pretty funny for a subliminal message.

      The rest of the copy is mediocre at best. But hey, how good does it need to be to sell a $7 product?

      Did you buy it?

      Frankly, I don't think (buy the product) subliminal messages (buy the product) work well. But then again (buy the product) you never know.
