We’ve reintroduced a program for those that have invested in poor advertising programs. If you come to us from lower-performing and non-compliant programs such as Broker Grow, Bizleads, and a few others, we’ll increase your conversions by 300% or give you $20’000. The point of the exercise is to showcase and expose the nonsense programs floating around the market. This
I’ve spoken of the illegal ‘Mortgage Magnet’ operation in the past, so I won’t repeat myself. The comments on this ad (taken at 10FEB2025, 12.23AM) shows the lack of comment oversight. Such a scam. Any ACL holder that doesn’t police their downline advertising or lead source should be considered in breach of legislation.
We’ve provided further updates to the agile website footer and header menu modules. Built in Yabber, each menu item links to a page, modal, email, telephone, or login modal. The entire design is customisable, and each menu is assigned to a defined location. The menu update includes improved tracking, more advanced trigger handling (in Yabber), and a modified framework for
Let’s talk about this first day campaign. It resulted in 56 distinct refinance leads at $1.53 per lead. Conversions are expected to be around 30% (slightly below our own average, but far higher than industry). Results aren’t typical, so why did this campaign perform so well (when leads normally average $11)? (This ad was a company first after they introduced
This might be obvious to many of you, but it’s one of those toilet-tactics that’ll add an easy 50m to your operation with minimal effort (1m a week is worst-case). There’s only a handful of brokers I work with that do what I’m about to describe and they’re all seeing great results. Banks have big advertising budgets, and their ads
The Re-Mortgage brand run by ‘Mortgage Magnet’ is one of the most dishonest leadgen services in the industry. They engage in false advertising, predatory practices, fraud, and they disregard about every piece of legislation designed to protect consumers. They’re an example of ‘Worst Interest Duty’. We’ve critiqued Mortgage Magnet numerous times in the past (in fact, in the last week
With the need to carry more broker bums on weekends, we’ve invested in a few extra seats. It’s called the ‘Broker Mobile’, or ‘Bro Mobile’ for short.
I tend to waffle on about the lack of a comparison rate in advertising, and It’s not because I think the comparison is overly important, and it’s not simply because it’s against the law. It’s because I see it as a deliberate means to deceive consumers. Failure to abide by such an entry-level and seriously basic obligation – particularly when
About This Stock and Bond Business, by Louis H. Engel. The ad is so good that I’m sharing it 76 years after it was first written. Most copy we see nowadays is forgotten within seconds. There’s so much to learn from this amazing ad and copy. Ogilvy was famous for his story telling, saying over and over that “the more
There are a few big-ticket compliance SNAFUs in this ad (the exclusion of the comparison being the most obvious), but usage of the Coat of Arms in a black and white ad designed to emulate a Government document is the focus of this rant. The use of the mark is regulated under federal law, and its use in any advertising
Shad of the Day, 15th November 2024. More of the same nonsense with *multiple* compliance issues. This gem comes to us from ‘Finance Group AU’ (aka ‘Finance Scanner’ among other fake brokerage brands), and it’s operated by a typical leadgen crowd called Biz Focused. If you’re ever in need of some finance humour you simply need to sit yourself down
Pictured are some recent domain name sales, although the big-ticket sales are normally protected by an NDA. The purchasers of these names understood the value of online real estate. I’m selling the website and leadgen facility behind what I believe to be the best domain in the industy. It comes with trust, appeal, socials, and traffic. You’ll take ownership of
