Energy Marketing: An Unusual New
Way to Attract New Clients
by Dr. Joe Vitale

"It doesn't matter what you say in an advertisement," Esther Hicks told me over dinner with her husband, Jerry, one day many years ago.
"People will pick up on the energy in the ads, not the words in the ads," she continued. "They'll respond, or not, based on what they feel from the ad."
That was probably my introduction to "Energy Marketing" or what I now call "Mental Science Marketing." I've since met several people who practice this unusual new form of marketing.
Sandra Zimmer, for example, runs the Self Expression
Center in Houston. One day she and I were having lunch
and talking about marketing. I told her I remember seeing
her ads years ago, and that they seemed to have a halo
around them.
"I put that there," she said.
"How?" I asked.
"I meditate on the ad I'm about to run and infuse it with
my energy," she said. "When the ad comes out, only those
people who pick up on the energy in the ad will call me."
Since Sandra has been running a thriving business for
many years now, I'd say her method works.
Two years ago I began seeing ads run by a healer named
Ann Taylor Harcus. Those ads had the same border of
invisible light around them. When I called Ann the first
time, I said, "Your ads are charged!"
She knew exactly what I was talking about.
"I put my energy into those ads," she told me. "I sit in
silence and consciously send my energy into them. I am
charging them so they magnetically attract the people
who need me most."
Considering Ann has now worked with well over
100,000 people, I'd say her method is working, too.
A month or so ago I was interviewed by Terri Levine. She had read
my latest book, "Spiritual Marketing," and wanted to know
how someone "charges an ad" with magnetic power.
It was the first time anyone had asked me that question.
"Well, I simply intend for the ad to pull the perfect clients
to me," I began. "I know that intention rules the earth. So I
simply decide to add my energy to the ad and program it
to bring me the results I want."
I could tell I needed to explain myself further.
"Think of it as Mental Science Marketing," I went on.
"There's a whole school of thought that says you can heal
anything by tuning in to the underlying perfection in life.
Well, why not heal a business in the same way?"
Before my "Spiritual Marketing" book became a #1
bestseller at amazon last June, I may have been reluctant
to talk about this unusual new form of marketing.
But the truth is, this is what I've been doing for maybe
ten years. I simply haven't been talking about it in public.
You can probably understand why. Mental Science
Marketing isn't as nuts and bolts as the marketing
practiced by those who like to focus on headlines,
benefits, guarantees, and other traditional elements
of a good ad.
Mental Science Marketing is more internal.
It's flying by your gut.
It's listening to your intuition.
It's aligning your beliefs.
It's tuning in to your spirit.
It's, well, different.
But Esther Hicks is only partially right.
What you put in an ad does indeed matter. If you run
an ad with nothing in it, you won't get any calls, despite
what you may have done on an energy level. You still need
to put *something* in that ad, if only a phone number.
That's where knowing traditional selling methods helps.
But I've known people who created ads with all the
right elements in it---headline, coupon, you name it---
and the ads bombed.
So just writing ads with skill won't always work, either.
My policy is to combine both approaches. Learn all
you can about how to write headlines and body copy.
But also learn all you can about how to infuse your ad
with your own energy. The combination can be irresistible.
Just ask Jerry or Esther. They hired me to write an ad
for them to run in a leading national magazine. I wrote it
and they ran it.
"We got so many calls we had to stop running the ad,"
Jerry told me later. "It overwhelmed our office."
What made it work? The words in it or the energy in it?
My guess is that the words in it reflected the energy in
it -- and in fact amplified it.
In short, you need both.
Just as studies show that most (not all) communication
is visual, most (not all) marketing is mental.
Finally, let me leave you with a challenge:
Look at the next ad, sales letter, commercial, or even
website with an inner radar searching for the energy in it.
See if you can note what is radiating from the ad.
How does it make you feel? What is happening inside
yourself while you view the ad?
Then ask yourself what is actually in the ad---the words
and images---that are helping you feel that way.
You might even go so far as to hold a sales letter in
your hand and----before you read it---see what you sense.
Does it have a good feel?
Do you want to buy?
Are you seduced or repelled?
Now read the letter.
Were your feelings right?
If nothing else, this is a great way to increase your
sensory awareness of everything from your five senses
to your intuition.
Why not start right now, with this very article?
How does this make you feel? Are you picking up
on my energy? Do you have a sense of what I'm trying
to communicate?
The fact of the matter is this: People buy for emotional
reasons and justify their purchases with logic.
When you are clear about your offer, your energy will
be clear.
When you proceed to create your ad, that energy will
guide you.
And when people read the final ad, it will be your
energy that they will feel first.
Just something to think about.
Or do I mean "feel" about?
