10 Strategies To Maximize Your Direct-Mail Success
1) CREATE SUCCESS
in your mind first, then bring it into reality. If you
think negative things,
you will create negative things in your life. If you think positive things, you will create positive
things in your life. In
short, if you want
to be a successful business person, act like one.
2) GENERATE A large
volume of incoming mail by requesting to be placed on the list of as many mailing list sources
as possible. The mailing list companies will put your name on lead labels they sell and you will
start receiving hundreds of MLM offers for other programs. These individuals are particularly interested in developing their own source of income and generally most responsive
as prospects to send your invitations to. Also, pay for "Big Mails", and to be included on
the different mailing lists you'll see being sent through the mail, or in the different mailing
opportunity journals and ad-sheets. You'll receive many offers for these after
writing to the mailing list sources. To get the best possible return, send your invitations 60 to 90 days after
receiving these offers in the mail. By this time, these prospects will be more inclined to open
and consider your offer -- it may be that whatever they were promoting 60 to 90 days previous, failed to succeed as they had hoped.
3) YOU'LL FIND the
best prices by ordering online. Simply do a web-search with the item you're looking for. Office
Depot (1-800-463-3768) <http://www.viking.com/> offers a wide variety office products
at discounted prices. Nationwide Envelope Company http://www.envelopesuperstore.com/ offers a large selection of envelopes. Inexpensive prices for labels can be found
at <http://www.onlinelabels.com/>. PrintPal http://printpal.com/ offers quality ink supplies at low cost for many brands of printers.
4) GAIN A competitive
edge by designing an approach that STANDS OUT from what everyone else is doing. It's not what
you are selling that determines your level of success, but HOW you sell it that matters most. Come
up with a unique way to promote whatever it is you are selling and watch your profits explode!
5) INCLUDE YOUR phone
number on all outgoing promotion materials -- Doing so will instill confidence in your prospects
and show you're a serious networker who can be spoken with personally, if necessary. Not clear
on a zip code? -- try <http://www.zip-codes.com/>.
6) USE END-Flap,
6" X 9" "Catalogue" Envelopes -- These larger size
envelopes stand out
from the more common #10 envelope. Rather than seal the flap, tuck it in to facilitate opening for
the recipient.
7) ONCE FORMATTED
on a computer, your return address can easily be printed to a size 1"by2&5/8" label. These
come 30 labels to a sheet and can be purchased inexpensively in boxes of 100 sheets (3,000 labels).
Always place a return address on your envelope. Use the same method to create Taglines
-- Short, Compelling Statements designed to arouse curiosity. For example, Explode Your Group With NEW CUSTOMERS
By... or The Solution To Costly Stamps!, printed on small labels and placed on the your envelope
will get your invitations opened and read.
8) MAIL YOUR invitations
on a Saturday or Monday. Statistics indicate
You'll get the best
reply by mailing out on these two days -- perhaps
because your offer
will stand out by arriving on a light-mail delivery day.
9) SEND A Thank You
To All Individuals Coming Aboard Your Venture. Include specific tips you've found to be effective
in building your business -- Let your new team members learn from your success.
10) STAY INFORMED
on the best marketing practices. At Excellent Lists <http://excellentlists.com/> you'll
find information on how to Increase Replies and Save Money with postcards, plus 62 additional articles
on how to Expedite Your Success With Direct-Mail Marketing.
To receive a large volume of offers for reverse mailing, write these mailing list sources with this note:
I'm an opportunity
seeker and networker working an MLM program. Please put me on your mailing list and send me the rates you charge to rent your
lists. My mailing address is: <Your Address> Then repeat the process every 6 to 12 months to keep the flow
of incoming offers (fresh names and addresses) high.
