Added for You - Using Direct Mail
Many small to medium size businesses struggle with this dilema. They may have even had an ad agency before. They liked the new ads that are done in a professional manner. And, they loved pushing salespeople off on thier agency. But, the owners simply want to keep more control of their business, including the marke

We’ve all been subjected to awful speakers—some are boring, others are sanctimonious, a few are tedious. The one thing all of these rotten speakers have in common is this: listening to them is pure torture and all you can think about is how you will never get the last thirty minutes of your life back.Most o
Selectivity-the ability to send your advertising only to people and organizations who can use and pay for your product or service.
Flexibility-the freedom to use either the simplest or the most elaborate presentation, ranging from a single-sheet mailer to an entire package, and the flexibility to test all sorts of minor changes in your mailing pieces.
Control-unlike the random placement of a newspaper ad, your mailer stands alone, and you have room to tell the entire story with illustrations, testimonials and guarantees.
Knowledge of results-by coding every mailing, you can identify the source of each order as it arrives. To get the most out of your direct mail, be sure to pay attention to the following:
1. The outside envelope. Most direct-mail experts will tell you to place "teaser" copy on your envelope to encourage prospects to open it. Envelope copy such as "Look inside to learn how to save money at the grocery store" can be effective. But consider that if you put such copy on the outside of the envelope, you save the recipient the trouble of opening the letter.

2. The letter. There are four main ingredients in every successful direct-mail letter. The letter must attract attention, clearly explain the benefits to your potential customer, address any possible objections and call the reader to action. Long letters usually work better than short letters, especially on high-ticket items.
3. The brochure. Your brochure should be an extension of your letter. It's a place to tell your product's story with pictures and details. Some people will look at the pictures first, then decide if they should read the rest of your package.
4. A response form. Your package should have a separate response form and a reply envelope. The form should be easy to use and easy to fill out. Be sure to include your telephone number in case the prospect wants to ask a question or place an order by phone.
5. A reply envelope. Many businesses enclose postpaid envelopes for future orders. Even if you don't supply postage, the addressed reply envelope is an essential component of your direct-mail package. If a potential customer has to look for an envelope, they may put it down and have second thoughts.
Have a need to increase your profits. Make direct mail campaigns part of your marketing plan.
