Mailing Tips
How to do You Effectively Saturate a
Specific Area?

|
You know that sending your
message to as many potential customers
is very important and helpful to your business. You probably also
know
that sending it one time will probably not be enough to make someone
run out and purchase or call you for your products or services. A
business should mail out more than one mail piece with information
about its services or products.
It is best to have an offer on all
mail pieces that are sent out. Keep your information fresh to
these
potential customers by sending a coupon that expires within a certain
amount of time for your mail pieces. Most people don’t want to
miss
out on a good sale or discount.
Most people may not even open their direct mail. When
marketing
your message to a large population, don’t expect 100% response
rates. But, follow our "Buying Checklist" and
these tips for a much better chance of getting the responses you
want.

The List--For direct mail to gain a business or
consumer response, it must be sent to the correct address.
Reaching the right target audience in a specific area is crucial in
direct marketing. The more exact and specific a name and title is on a
mailing list the more likely it is to reach the target recipient.
The
Offer--It is referred to as the deal. The offer should be
clear and include a deal that a prospect can't refuse. Offers are
either soft or hard depending on your product or service. A
call-to-action or a way to respond must be included in support of the
offer.
When constructing the offer you
must ask yourself: How much am I able to spend on a new customer?; How
good of a deal am I able to afford?; What is the value of a new
long-tern customer? Repeating the offer in the mail piece is key
in direct marketing.
The Timing--For
direct mail to gain better response rates you should focus on the
prospect's buying cycles and habits. Sending a message
about your after Thanksgiving Day Sale in December, is not as
profitable as sending the same message in November. Companies and
consumers have certain buying and contractual cycles that need to
be taken in to account when marketing your offer.
The
Layout-- It's critical to have a layout
with specific graphics that compliment the copy of the direct mail
piece. Always use people or people using the product/service over
product shots alone. Use different color fonts sparingly. When
using postcard type mailings, the eye goes from right upper, to left
middle, and ends at right lower...design your piece to consider this
flow. For letters, the eye starts in the upper left and zig
zags to the lower left. This is why a P.S. in letter is so important.
The
Copy--A good mail piece relates to what the product and
service will do for the reader. The writing attitude should be about
the benefits the reader will receive by doing business with your
company. Be clear and simple, the copy should be written as if it
was a conversation with the reader. Short sentences, headlines, sub
headlines and repeating the offer are important for readers to
understand your message. Most readers scan when they look at
direct mail, make your copy scanable.
