Direct Mail/Mail Order<br />

Direct mail is different than other types of advertising because it is<br />

extremely targeted. When you advertise with direct mail, you are<br />

sending your offer out to people who are already likely to be interested<br />

in what you have to offer. In other words: Direct mail involves sending<br />

your information direct to your prospective clients.<br />

It should be information that will elicit a response and/or will put you<br />

in a good position to follow up with prospects and turn them into<br />

customers. It allows you to talk directly to the most valuable people<br />

to you. If media advertising is the shotgun approach, then direct mail<br />

is the rifle - allowing you to directly address your target market with<br />

precision.<br />

The communication can be for any of the following reasons:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

To tell prospective customers about your business<br />

To tell current customers about a special offer or promotion<br />

To remind lapsed customers about your business and maybe<br />

make them a special<br />

Compared with other advertising vehicles, direct mail can be an<br />

economical way to reach former, current and prospective customers.<br />

But, like any marketing method, it still can be expensive. The cost<br />

depends on the choices you make in administering your direct mail<br />

campaign. 'Campaign?' you are asking. 'Isn't this just getting the word<br />

out about my business? Who said anything about a campaign?'<br />

The fact is, whatever type of marketing tools you employ, it is crucial<br />

to think of your efforts as a coordinated program. Doing that will force<br />

you to think carefully about what you are saying in all your efforts.<br />

And careful, coordinated planning will help you develop a consistent<br />

message that people will remember.<br />

It has been proven that over 50% of Direct Mail recipients read it<br />

immediately and of those, over 40% found the information<br />

useful. Studies have shown that every dollar spent on Direct Mail<br />

advertising brings in $10 in sales.<br />
