Some companies that sell direct mail to promote their products and services, such as the blind man in a dark room looking for the black cat that is not there. Repeat the same mistakes, and enjoy the same bad results. Here are the eight most common offense, and a cure for everyone. 1. Wrong list The most important part of a direct mail campaign is not the copy. It is not the artistic director. And it is not the offer. It is the mailing –List. Therefore, you should be identical packages on two lists, you can e-mail is a good and bad, and find that the good list does not take 10 times more responses than the poor list. Your mailing list, finally, is not only a way to reach your market. It is your market. 2. No testing There are no answers in direct mail except test answers. I do not write it. Eugene Schwartz, author of Breakthrough Advertising, done. If you are not a testPackage against another, one list against another, you will not know what works and what does not. To test lists. Test offers. Test formats. Test envelope teaser copy to. Do not you think you know what works. Test and be safe. 3. No Offer The second important part of a direct-mail package is the offer. The offer will persuade the reader that your product or service on, choose what to sell your competitors. You need to differentiate their offerings from the competition byWay of price, conditions, warranties or extras. To generate leads, provide free technical information, a free analysis, using free consultation, free demonstration, free trial version or free product sample. To build retail traffic, offer bonuses, discounts or exclusive. To sell a product directly through the mail, offer a free trial, sample, premium or discount. 4. Starting with you, not me You're at a party. They meet two people. One welcomes you in this way: "Hello, I amswell person and I make lots of money. But enough about me, what do you think about me? "The others will welcome you in this way," Hello, I'm Tony. You look like an interesting person. Tell me about yourself. " Well, who would you rather talk about the two people? Your readers would rather listen to you talk about, not about yourself or your product. But many companies mail sales letters that begin: "ABC Incorporated was founded in 1982 and is in the business to deliverQuality, service and value in the new millennium. "Big yawn. Big mistake. Target your messages about the prospect and say everything viewed from the perspective of perspective. Start your copy with" we "when you" start. " 5. Slow to the point You have five seconds. After that, your reader may be reading or is preparing your mailing for a flight test in the trash. Do not make the mistake of a slow build. AvoidDetour. Start your letter with the most compelling point of sale. Copy to Fire your biggest gun in the first row. Promise your readers an advantage. Give them a reason to continue to read. 6. Poor follow-up Do not waste your time and effort in preparing a response and none in the follow-up investigations. Slow performance is deadly. Thus, inadequate marketing literature and unprofessional telemarketing. It can destroy the interest that you work so hard tobuild. Fill requests for information within 48 hours. Send follow-up mailings to those who do not respond the first time. Follow up, follow up, follow-up. 7. No time limit Time may heal all wounds, but it kills response. Your enemy is delay. Your enemy is tomorrow. Do not make the mistake to let your readers be deterred until they completely forget your mailing. Set a time limit for your offer: "Call now. This offer is valid until 1 June 1999." Time-Limited Offersalmost always deals with outpull not limited. 8. No call to action Ask for the order. BUY NOW! PHONE TODAY! Your scent! If you do not ask for a response, you will not get. Tell readers what to do. Show them the next step. Book your order form easy to read and easy to follow. Luckily others have gone before us. My favorite sources tested, the practical knowledge of the direct mail techniques are successful direct marketing methodsBob Stone and anything by Herschell Gordon Lewis.

The old adage: "so heavenly minded that no earthly good," is something to keep in mind when we want to teach our children to mature adults by the time they are 18 or 21 years old we''re. I''m sure you''ll agree with me when I say that is that what Jesus teaches us in the Bible to earth and practical for daily use by you and me. Among other things he teaches planning and safety goals for the future. Having clearly defined objectives gives us two things: (1) direction and (2)Motivation. For example: When we go to a football game, we expect our winning team. Of course, the scoreboard says, how many points we have, and whether before or after we''re. With our enthusiastic cheers, we can help our team get more points when things are hard and encourage them in every way we can to get harder or try a different point landing. In the same way, remember it takes a lot of advance planning, effort to keep score and cheer, so that our children achieve personalLifetime to achieve. Here too we can for our children by our example. Let me say once again: ".. by our example!" That is, we talk about our goals and them in a very practical way. Then, together, we say Jesus, what we want and give those goals we bathe in prayer, what a down-to-earth practical goal, the full power of the Seine – heavenly atmosphere.

When I looked at the world I live in sight, I''ve noticed that this is not exactly what I''d call: The Garden of Eden. In fact, the assessment by the garbage I read in the newspaper and the trash and greed I see on the 6 o''clock TV news, the world around me a hard place to live in the day-to – day, and year-after-year. The fact is that life on this side of heaven, you might say, "is the pits!" Nevertheless, we must recognize that God placed in his wisdom, all of us here for aPurpose. I believe that God has some pretty good reasons for what he does. So I decided to get my conviction by you through my Bible and here are some of what I understand to be God ', the reasons for us to here: (1) "Bear one another 'burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2). (2) "… So far, we care about you that we are resolved to share with you not only the gospel of God but also to ourselves, because you are very sweetus. "(1 Thes.2: 8). (3) "Always be prepared to give an answer for everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." (1 Pet.3: 15). (4) "Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than her. Each of you, you are not happy, your own interests but the interests of others." (Phil.2 :3-4). (5) "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." (Rom.12-15). (6): "Betact with those who are not Christians, and make sure you make the best use of your time (while here on earth) with them. Talk to them pleasantly, and with a taste of the joke, and try your responses to the needs of each fit. "(Col.4: 5-6). (7): "Therefore encourage one another and build each other, just as you do." (Thes.5: 11). I could go on, because there are many other scriptures I could tell you but I think you will see that God encourages us toas his chosen people, as the "salt" of this earth. He wants us to some geschmacksverstärkte to add the lives of people around us to help them and share Christ's teachings with them at every opportunity. So the next time I stop them or interfere with what I see around me in the world, I''m going to open my Bible and read these words again, just to remind me that life on this side of the sky have no Godly purpose. This purpose is of course prepared for bothourselves and the people we are out there in the world for the life the Lord has promised all his followers – there – on His side of the sky. http://www.originalsbyweber.com
