Claude C. Hopkins
Every reader of your ad is interested, else he would not be a reader. You are dealing with someone willing to listen. Then do your level best. That reader, if you lose him now, May never again be a reader
Claude C. Hopkins
A man coined to superlative must expect that his every statement will be taken with some caution
Claude C. Hopkins
Literary qualifications have no more to do with it than oratory has with salesmanship. One must be able to express himself briefly, clearly, and convincingly, just as a salesman must.
Claude C. Hopkins
Names which tell stories have been worth millions of dollars. So a great deal of research often precedes the selection of a name.
Claude C. Hopkins
We cannot go after thousands of men until we learn how to win one.
Claude C. Hopkins
Picture what others wish to be, not what they may be now
Claude C. Hopkins
Platitudes and generalities roll off the human understanding like water from a duck.
