Just put together a coin offer for someone (3 World War II coins in a special box). Ran ads in both Naval History and Weekly World News...The demographics couldn't have been anymore different. Guess, which one pulled better? Which audience was more geared towards war products?

Take care,

P.S. Naval History crashed & burned...The "obvious" target market failed to materialize. The untargeted, highly female market bought. Go figure.
