Let’s examine the letter in your direct mail campaign, with an eye to generating higher readership, more phone calls and orders.
Many businesses use direct mail as a method of acquiring new customers. Your mailing piece must be well written to achieve the type of response that will make the effort worthwhile, especially financially, since postage and printing costs make it an expensive method of advertising .
I want to mail flyers and coupons. Where can I obtain the addresses of those who are most likely to give me business?? Isn’t there some sort of sample of addresses you are able to buy and where can I get it?
How do I compile a residential list for direct mailing?
I know there are companies that I can buy these lists from, but I am fine with doing the work myself. I just don’t know where to start. Aside from grabbing the phone book and just typing my heart out. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
