How Advertising and Marketing Got Started
Copyright 2011 Presslink Publishing
This is the first in a series of 10 articles starting with the
beginnings of advertising and marketing through to present day.
Advertising, as we know it, probably started to prosper in 1904
when John E. Kennedy gave the world that definition:
"Advertising is Salesmanship-in-Print". A definition that has
not been bettered since - and many have tried.
For me, modern day advertising started a few years earlier than
Kennedy when Richard Sears produced the very first mail order
catalog (around 1892). This catalog contained hundreds of pages
of articles for sale and each with their own sales copy. And
Sears Roebuck is still going strong today, in marketing and
sales.
Around this time, advertising agencies sprang up everywhere. And
the people they employed and trained, left us with such
treasures that all top marketers today display in their resource
libraries and use to their advantage.
Shortly after Kennedy arrived on the scene, Claude Hopkins came
along. He left us with a legacy we should all thank him for. He
pioneered market testing, sampling, vouchers, and a whole lot
more.
At the turn of the last century there were many others: Walter
Dill Scott, Maxwell Sackheim, Haldeman Julius, John Caples, to
name just four.
Then around the middle of the century such geniuses as Elmer
Wheeler, Robert Collier and other contemporaries appeared.
Post war, advertising greats David Ogilvy, Joe Karbo, also made
their mark.
And living legends Jay Abraham, John Carlton, Gary Halbert, Dan
Kennedy, and Ted Nicholas, have all made many millions both for
themselves and their clients.
Towards the end of the last century, the greatest marketing tool
of all time was unleashed on the world - the Internet. Early
pioneer of the Internet, Ken McCarthy, is still around and his
"System" seminars are an absolute must attend.
The Internet has opened a whole new world for advertising and
marketing. And a new breed of entrepreneur has been born. Guys
like the late, great Corey Rudl, Marlon Sanders, Robert
Imbriale, Yanik Silver, Jim Edwards and many others have shown
what can be done and in such a short space of time.
But one thing all these "gurus" have in common is that they have
studied the markets. They have studied the psychology of what
makes people buy. They have learned these principles from the
great masters of the past - the John Kennedy's, the Claude
Hopkins', the Walter Dill Scott's, the Elmer Wheeler's.
And that's what my articles are all about.
You will be taken from the very beginnings of advertising and
get an insight into the writings, the ideas and the philosophies
of most of the greatest marketers that ever lived.
For sure, you will recognise much of the material that is
mentioned as we take the "tour" but it's doubtful that you will
have come across all of it.
All top marketers recommend that you continually add to your
education and you will not do better than picking up any (or
all) of the material that you will be exposed to on your "tour."
Each manuscript mentioned in this "tour" is a desirable addition
for your resource library.
Pick them up, maybe one at a time. And you will
profit from them
- just like all the great masters have done - past and present.
This article is a brief history of events leading up to the
appearance of John E. Kennedy in 1904.

My next article will continue with the evolution of advertising

Mail order guru Ted Nicholas said that the old marketers were

studied - he did!
