Introduction:

One of the most important things you can do is to presell your product before or even
after your launches. Preselling will increase your conversion and sales rates better than 
just blind selling it.

People won't put up their buying defense shields as quit with a presell advertisement
like they would with a direct buy offer. Preselling will educate them about the product
and get them interested and excited in it before they have to make a decision to buy. 

This report will give you thirty killer ideas to presell your product to your target audience.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

they will be to spend their hard earned money on it.

like to skim and not read large product descriptions. You could list the product features,
benefits, bonuses, guarantee offers, add ons, etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#3 Product Samples

Give people a sample of your product. When you give people a little taste of your product
and they like it, they will want more and will spend money to get it. Just make sure your
sample is big and enticing enough to influence them to buy.

product is put together, how much stuff comes with it, how big it is, etc.

some of your best information because they will be curious to what else is included.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
