6 Tips For A Successful Mailing

by Jim Negron, under Direct Mail Marketing Tips

BEFORE YOU MAIL

  1. WHAT Are You Going To Promote? 
    Be specific. Don’t include a laundry list of products or services. Pick your most popular or the best value.
  2. WHO Are The Best Prospects For Your Product Or Service?
    Decide if you should target geographically or demographically or a combination of both. A better mailing list means better results.
  3. HOW Are You Going To Attract The Prospects You Are Targeting?
    A special offer or “magnet” must be strong enough to yield the results you are planning on. Be honest. If you received the offer in the mail, would you respond?

AFTER YOU MAIL

  1. DELIVER
    Make sure your staff is fully briefed on the mailing and and are prepared to deliver special offers enthusiastically without confusion. Remember, first impressions count.
  2. TRACK Response Carefully
    Get as much feedback as you can from employees and customers. If you have more than one offer on your postcard, determine what works best. Carefully monitor sales and traffic. Not every prospect will redeem a coupon. If you notice an increase in traffic or sales, it may be a “hidden” response to your mailing. 
  3. EVALUATE, Fine Tune and Mail Again
    Direct Mail Advertising Works. But it is a process. Response rates can be improved with each mailing. After time, response rates will even become predictable for your unique situation.
