There was an an interesting post a couple of days ago regarding the use of a long sales letter. This post inspired some interesting answers that veered away from the original question.
It is an argument that I often have within the organisation for which I work when preparing promotional emails.
Many marketers seem to be of the opinion that users just 'don't read' long copy. I strongyl disagree and have had powerful results with some long sales copy.
I thought it would be nice to open a new question on this and use up some of my points (I have no idea what to do with them otherwise ) :)
I will keep this question open for several days to allow time for everyone to get into the discussion - I hope that we will see some compelling comments and anecdotes.
Thank you to all in advance for your participation in this discussion.
