<p>I instantly wanted to study the placement, the presentation and the copy.  So the follow on question is did this presentation sell beds?</p>
<p>The company is not a client so there is no way for me to know for sure. My guess is that it is a very successful campaign even thought the copy is not very good and the graphics are just OK. So what makes me think the ad was very successful?</p>
<p>A two page foldout in a magazine published to appeal to wealthy people with the catch that $64,950 is for one bed is in itself intriguing.  I am guessing those who have $100,000 in petty cash become very interested in this bed.</p>
<p>This article is not about a bed.  The lesson is to appeal to your target audience.  The company handcrafting this bed is not running the ad in ValPak.  The placement is in a prestigious publication consistent with the quality and pricing of the product.</p>
<p>Valuable lesson. Pay close attention to ads and junk mail.</p>
<p>Sending all my readers the energy of vibrant health, happiness and prosperity.</p>
