Extensive Direct Marketing
Experience is Yours with
Consultant/Copywriter René Gnam...

A highly-successful creator of marketing campaigns and sales strategies, René Gnam is a semi-retired direct marketing consultant who advises on advertising and promotion plans, writes lots of copy, and designs top-pulling mailings, ads, catalogs, web pages, and sales-promotion literature for business, consumer, and professional audiences.

     While he often creates entire campaigns, his most frequent consulting assignment is a brainstorming session working in solitude by himself. At a one-time introductory fee of $555, Gnam reviews your selected advertising or promotion materials, catalogs or mailings or web pages, and gives you a confidential written memo with specific action recommendations to boost your response!

CONSULTING

Gnam has worked for hundreds of small to mid-sized companies  that tap his mind for new marketing clout and growth. He has also consulted for giants  like Diner's Club, duPont, General Motors, IBM Canada, McGraw-Hill, Minolta, Norelco, Novo Enzymes, Clairol, and the U.S. Library of Congress. He advises on database marketing...establishes test and roll-out pricing...analyzes and evaluates previous and current campaigns...and recommends specific, effective marketing actions for his clients.

CREATIVE SERVICES

Gnam tunes up your current promotions or creates new mailings and ads as needed. His persuasive advertising has sold billions of dollars of products and services for small and large companies, raised millions for non-profits, and even brought new patients into doctors' offices around the world. He has sold nearly everything — from pre-natal care to burial plots, from office supplies to office buildings — by writing and designing effective sales promotion pieces, ads, mailings, web pages, catalogs, and brochures.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

A frequent conference and seminar speaker before opting for more leisure time, Gnam often gave attendees powerful headlines, copy ideas, vibrant layout concepts, and tested marketing concepts right on the spot in his responses to audience questions. Gnam trained over 19,600 ad/sales/marketing execs and business owners in many countries and was the first American to teach modern marketing methods in Russia.

ON-SITE & OFF-SITE CONSULTATIONS

Gnam is a leading authority on the science of direct mail testing and the art of structuring effective copy and design for business and consumer markets. His consultations uniquely address each client's specific sales and marketing objectives. Some clients ask for face-to-face meetings, while most avoid travel costs by having René privately review their materials and give his recommendations in writing.
