Summary
Alan Forrest Smith’s Direct Response Marketing Machine. Est 1998
Master Strategist . Consultant . Mentor . Copywriter
The Marketing Man Alan Forrest Smith Here’s the shortcut to whom I am. Today (the bit you need to know) I am a writer, published author, copywriter, story teller, short story writer, trainer, mentor, poet, philosopher, direct marketing consultant, copywriter and some would probably – a “total eccentric but brilliant copywriter” – If they say that I accept! I wrote my first sales copy maybe around 1985 for my hairdressing business. I can however recall writing adverts before then in the 1970s for musicians (kind-of) to join my Punk Band (I know please…!) and of course started writing lyrics and poetry from around 1977. Which makes me in a lot of peoples eyes a bit of an old dog (but I’d rather say a wise and powerful Lion). Today I mainly specialize in strategy, words, direct mail, sales letters, sales messages, long sales copy, business turnaround consulting at premium rates and of course making black tea with leaves in the cup as I think you can taste the paper with a bag (I did say eccentric). Thank God I have written copy for clients that has sold like crazy (or they’d kill me) and been very successful doing so. I have written about 4,000-5,000 sales letters and maybe a few hundred love letters to beautiful women I have been chasing for dinner for coffee, for romance and for general flirting! If you need a cheap copywriter I am NOT your guy. I create Michel Angelo copy that I spend time creating, loving adoring and adding those final touches until I am happy. (OK I know that was over-the-top but I an over-the-top, one-off guy) - See more at www.orangebeetle.com
