The use of e-cards has also diminished the being sent through the regular mail for birthdays, holidays and even the "just because" types of cards.

All of the pieces of correspondence referenced above would have required postage to be purchased, if sent as a hard-copy through regular mail. Now, these transactions are free of charge, via the internet.

, for postage stamps, just have had a recent increase from 37 cents to 39 cents. 41 cents was the originally proposed number, but it seemed that the 2 cents increase was enough for now. This increase is attributed to an attempt to make up for lost volume, by increasing the price of sending each piece of mail.

The other costly update that is required when potage rates increase is the burden of businesses that use s. Older versions of postage meters do not have the capability to automatically update when the postage rate varies from what they are currently programmed for. In this case, the lessee must buy an expensive up-grade chip that will re-format the postage meter to calculate the proper postage.

The postage rates for sending those materials that are unable to be sent electronically have not yet been increased, at least by an amount that is noticeable. The 2-3 days to send larger mail or packages is still costing about 3-10 dollars and sending packages overnight will cost about 20 dollars on average.

The postage rate increases will continue to be evident as the more and more people become comfortable with electronic transfer technology. However, the will have to be careful to retain competitive rates, as they are not the only provider of package sending service.

Postage rates may become a big factor for businesses in the future, especially those that are responsible for a lot of outgoing materials. There will be a high market for providing the best service and the lowest price for high volume main and package distributions.

Whether it is the individual mail sender or a business, if postage rates continue to rise, and at a rate that is not found to be acceptable, people will find a way to avoid using this service all together, which is exactly what the postal service is trying to avoid. Hopefully, they will come up with a way to still provide a worthy service, without breaking the bank. http://postagehq.com Everything you need to know about postage from collecting stamps to postage rates. ]]> Your Direct Response Strategy: With So Many Strategies, How Do You Choose The Best http://www.artwoo.com/article/your-direct-response-strategy-with-so-many-strategies-how-do-you-choose-the-best http://www.artwoo.com/article/your-direct-response-strategy-with-so-many-strategies-how-do-you-choose-the-best#comments Mon, 29 Jan 2007 16:27:12 +0000 direct mailmail strategymail packagemail responsefortune 500 companiesresponse strategymailing a letter http://www.artwoo.com/article/your-direct-response-strategy-with-so-many-strategies-how-do-you-choose-the-best direct mail strategy... are you stuck trying to decide what strategies you are looking to implement? Which direct pulls the best response? Is it a postcard? Self mailer? A Letter? The answer to that is not a simple one. It depends.

The success of your direct response strategy really depends on who you are mailing to, what your promise to them is, and when your mail is going out and what it is you mail. Here are a few things you need to be asking yourself to decide which direct response strategy is the one that you are going to want to go with for your next mailing...

A letter? Is your offer going to reach your prospect from a person, by name? Does it need to be addressed to certain person by name? Is confidentiality or privacy of concern? Then it should be mailed in an envelope. The sales letter would be your best bet here.

How about a postcard? If your message is simple and short, then perhaps this may be your best direct .

Should you use a self mailer? Are you looking to keep your mailing costs down? Try a self mailer. This will help illustrate your sales message.

You could also use a classic direct , especially if you have things that won't fit in a letter from technical specifications. Is your sales message longer than 600 words? Do your prospects need to mail you back a check or an order form? Then this will be your best direct mail strategy.

Another direct response strategy for you to consider is a dimensional mailer. Do you need to reach or C-level executives whose secretary screens their mail? Then the dimensional mailer is the way for you to go. This direct has the potential for a high response rate.

You should mail out a catalog if you have a lot of items to sell, or if you want to show color or the shape and quality of a product.

How about if you have a message that needs to reach everyone in a specific geographic area/ Then an unaddressed flyer would be what you need.

If you have a short sales message for your existing customers, email (with their permission) would be your best bet.

Perhaps you have a short announcement for your existing customers... or you need to remind them about something coming up... then you'll want to include a buckslip in your next mailing...

Who you mail to is much more important than what you mail them. So if your campaign has proven successful, mail to other lists that are similar to your .

Here is another one of the more important direct response tips that you should be aware of... it's to change up your offer from time to time. If you change it up, it will be constantly fresh and the same people won't be getting the same offer time and time again, thus diluting your response rate.

Improve upon your creative. Perhaps your rate of response is suffering due to the fact that your package is not so attractive. Why not try something completely different? Next time, mail out a post card instead of a letter. There are so many ways you can change things up and keep your offer fresh.

You may also want to try and mail out a different time from what you were previously doing. Are you sending out the offers at the same time of the week, month, year, etc.? If so, change up the frequency, mail more, mail less, just change it up.

Here is a must, of all the direct response tips, this one can have a great impact, because it's the ability to offer your clients other payment options. Decades ago all we could accept were checks and MO's. However, today just about any business can get a merchant account and . Give your customers more options and they will use them.

Another one of my favorite direct response tips is to offer a premium. Such as a free as opposed to a cash discount.

Give something away for free, you'd be surprised... FREE is still a very strong word -- for as overused as it can be sometimes.

Offer a . This will put your customer at ease and actually increase your response. Sure, you may get a refund here or there, but imagine those orders that you would have not gotten because you did not show confidence in your product to offer a guarantee?

Be credible. Know what you're offering from top to bottom, convey that on paper and you will appear as an authority. Your customers want what you have... why should they get it from you?

Make the order process as easy as possible. Kind of like the payment options above, let them mail their order, call it in, fax it in, order online, etc.

As for the order through the sales process. Put in your call to action. You'd be surprised how many offers don't have a call to action. That's direct marketing 101.

Add more content to your package if results are slowing down... Change it up and see what happens, track it, test it and improve upon it.

I just gave you a few direct response tips. This is not all and everything having to do with direct response, just a tiny fraction of it. I hope to have given you an eye opener with these direct response tips, use them and increase your business today. James Calvin is an avid studier of and direct response techniques.

To have success in multi-level marketing you have to be willing to make that extra call to see if your prospect is satisfied, answer any questions, and more than anything just show them that you are there for them.

While the most important thing is to follow up with your prospect, the next thing to focus on is delivering an effective follow-up. If you are not familiar on how to follow up with your prospect you risk the chance of leaving out important questions that can kill your .

The most obvious reason to follow up with your prospect is to make sure they received the package or email. If they never received the package, how are you going to have MLM success without them knowing anything about it? By assuring that they received your mail it gives you an excuse to talk to them.

When you them, ask them if they have some time to talk about the opportunity that lies ahead of them. A promising prospect will have already viewed the contents of the package and is willing to take the time to get involved. Ask them if they have any questions regarding the package and do your best to keep them .

In order to have MLM success you are going to have to be able to turn some objections into positive feedback. Even some of the most interested prospects will have their doubts of what can go wrong, so you have to be prepared to ease their apprehension. Even the slightest pause can show them that you yourself may have doubts as well. You must be calm and confident to answer anything that is thrown your way.

By taking each objection and answering them in a serious manner, you'll show the prospect that you care about them. This is key to getting a prospect to join and vital to your MLM success. Also know that an objection doesn't always mean they are not interested; there may be something deeper into the "I'm not interested."

Follow-ups are vital to you have any kind of MLM success. The most obvious piece of advice for a follow-up is to be prepared before contacting the prospect.

However there's one things that makes it such a reliable method for bringing in new business, and that's the ability to test different versions of your sales offer, package and everything else involved.

If you really want to kill your direct , don't test. When people complain about the direct , they are not considering the expense of NOT testing. You need to know what is the cost of acquiring a new customer. That will give you much more flexibility when marketing and testing. If your cost per acquisition is low, then you have more money to invest in marketing and testing new methods that you would have otherwise not considered.

You can decrease your direct mail costs by applying a little common sense and simply by testing which produces the best response. Let's take a look at everything that makes up the direct ... the envelope, a personalized sales letter, the brochure, an order form, the reply envelope and lastly the data.

The most important of all these is the data. Which is your mailing list, those that are going to see your offer. Mail out a good offer to a bad list = bad results. Mediocre offer to a good list = good to great results. See the difference?

You may already have a in mind, for example, doctors. You'll be able to get a from more than just one source, and you can test it. You can also break it up into may other lists determined by your target audience. Direct mail costs are very flexible as well. The more you do business with a particular company, typically they'll give you some price breaks.

First things first, you must target to get it right. And you only find out if you have it right by testing.

You have so many options, starting with the envelope. You can pick different colors, use a stamp, bulk meter (not recommended). You could use different sizes... so much you can test with the letter alone.

For your letterhead, you can change up the material. Textured paper always works best as studies have shown. The number of options that you have at your disposal are unlimited.

Use these methods over time and you'll see an increase in the effectiveness of your mailings. You have to always test, even when you think you've got the perfect mailing, keep testing. Test, test and test some more. Got it?? That's the best way to keep your direct mail costs down, isn't that what we're all after?

Even better, AOL now offers free, web based e-mail services. Many people prefer web based e-mails because they can take them along whenever they change their internet providers. The mail offers plenty of services along with web mail so it makes sense that it is one of the leading web s.

Of course, because web mail is so popular and because there are people who like to change e-mail addresses often and create addresses specifically for newsletter subscriptions, junk mail, etc, there are a lot of AOL e- that get hijacked by spammers and people who like to send "anonymous" e-mails to others. The good news is this: if you have been getting unwanted e-mail from an AOL web mail address, it is possible to do a reverse e-mail search and find out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail and make them stop.

Your first line of defense when it comes to unwanted e-mail is the reverse e-mail search provided by the web mail provider. If the e-mail is coming from an AOL web mail address, use the reverse e-mail search option provided by America Online itself. Using the web mail provider's reverse e-mail search tool should always be your first stop because it will be the easiest method in finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail and/or spam. This is because it is easier for AOL to check its own records than it is for an outside source to try to check those records for you.

Of course, if the reverse e-mail search provided by AOL isn't successful, there are other options that are available to you. There are many different reverse e-mail search services available on the internet and you should try as many as you can to get the results that you need. If none of the internet based reverse e-mail searches work out, and the unwanted e-mail has become a real problem, you might want to consider hiring a professional search service to find out who, exactly has been sending you the e-mail. In some cases a professional search service is the best way to go because there are many people, spammers especially, will take many steps to make sure that their identities and contact information remain hidden.

Remember that you need to be taking steps to protect your own AOL e-mail account as well. Make sure that your password isn't obvious and that it is hard to crack. Change it often so that you can reduce the risk of having your AOL web mail account being hijacked by spammers or people who would send unwanted e-mail to other people.

Your tenacity will also play a big role in whether or not you see success with your reverse e-mail search. The more thorough your search, the more likely you will be to discover the identity of the e-mail address owner.Ed Opperman invites you to visit his cyber investigation website for all of your email search needs.

Everyone knows the benefits of using a web based e-mail service. Most of these services are free of charge (or very inexpensive) and are far more convenient than the e-mail addresses that will be supplied to you by your internet provider. This is because, in this day and age, people appreciate the ability to check their e-mail from any internet service and on any computer. Web based e-mail offers people that option.

Of course web based e-mail isn't without its faults. Because people create more e-mail addresses than they actually use, there are a lot of "dead" e- out there that get taken over by spammers and hijackers. Others will create an e-mail account with GMX or one of the other web mail services with the intent of sending "anonymous" e-mail to someone else.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail from a GMX e-mail address there are several steps you can take:

1. Find out if GMX provides a reverse e-mail search service and then use it to find out who has opened the from which your unwanted e-mail has been sent. This should always be your first step because GMX will have an easier time searching its own records than an outside search engine will have in getting access to the records' information.

2. Do a search with any of the major search engines to find web-based reverse e-mail searches. There are a large number of companies out there that offer this service. It might take a few (or many) tries to get the information you want but if you keep trying you will increase the odds of finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail that has been polluting your inbox. Don't give up--the longer you search, the better your chances become of finding out what you want to know.

3. If the unwanted e-mail has been especially malicious, you might want to consider hiring a professional to contact GMX and find out who is on the other end of the e-mail address that has been harassing you. A professional will know how to get GMX to turn over the information that you need. You should also consider contacting GMX's support team yourself to report the malicious e-mail. GMX might be able to suspend the account or help you take legal action against the e-mail sender.

When it comes to doing reverse e-mail searches, whether you need to find the owner of a GMX e-mail account or a different web based e-mail address the key is to keep at it.

There are many businesses that now use email exclusively, and do not use snail mail for marketing purposes.

But I believe that these businesses are missing out on a piece of their pie. Actually, they are leaving a piece of their pie for other marketers (ones who use direct mail) to pick up.

DMIS, or the , reports some important statistics, showing that direct mail is indeed a method, even in this digital age. For example, DMIS reports that 67% of direct mail is opened by the recipient, and 45% is both opened and read. Also, 32% of consumers surveyed reported that they had responded to a direct mailing in the past twelve months.

Direct mail is still an effective marketing piece that every business should use, even . Direct mailing has several advantages over email, such as increased delivery rates, higher readership percentages, and the fact that a physical direct will make a bigger impact than an email.

If you run an internet business, you may not want to use direct mail as an piece. Initial contact is probably the strongest point of internet marketing. But follow-up is one of the strong points of direct mail. Use direct mail to follow up with your customers, to let them know about promotions, or to follow up with prospects who have not made a purchase yet.

For all businesses, direct mail allows you to contact precise markets with geographical and demographical targeting. For example, if you sold commercial bakery equipment, you could send your promotional mailing to a list of bakeries.

Other statistics show that direct mail is even more effective for businesses. Managers open 70% of direct mail they receive. The pass 9% of it on to a subordinate or coworker, but respond to or file an amazing 20%!

There are two basic ways to use direct mail -- build your own list, or use someone else's list. Building your own list will likely get you the lists, but is also more expensive and takes longer. Renting a list is often the best way to start.

Being embedded in the e-mail, the e-mail exploit easily crosses the firewalls and enters the recipient's computer successfully. That is the reason people generally do not read the spam e-mails and delete them as such. But still, the e-mail exploits have a greater rate of being successful as there are certain spam e-mails which you may click open just to find out what it actually is about. Once you open an e-mail which has e-mail embedded in it, you may lose the game altogether. Your computer network may be bombarded by the viruses even before you come to know that you have committed a major mistake.

Everyone knows the benefits of using a web based e-mail service. Most of these services are free of charge, anonymous and are far more convenient than the e-mail addresses that will be supplied to you by your Internet provider. This is because, in this day and age, people appreciate the ability to check their e-mail from any Internet service and on any computer. Web based e-mail offers people that option. But these are also options that a cyber stalker would find attractive when trying to conceal his true identity from his victims.
These online stalkers will create an e-mail account with AIM or one of the other web mail services with the intent of sending harassing "anonymous" e-mail or Instant Massages (IMs) to someone else.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail or IMs from an AIM e-mail address there are several steps you can take:

1. Find out if AIM provides a reverse e-mail search service and then use it to find out who has opened the AIM account from which your unwanted e-mail has been sent. This should always be your first step because AIM will have an easier time searching its own records than an outside search engine will have in getting access to the records' information.

2. Do a search with any of the major search engines to find web-based reverse e-mail searches. There are a large number of companies out there that offer this service. It might take a few (or many) tries to get the information you want but if you keep trying you will increase the odds of finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail that has been polluting your in box. Don't give up--the longer you search, the better your chances become of finding out what you want to know.

3. If the unwanted e-mail has been especially malicious, you might want to consider hiring a professional to find out who is on the other end of the e-mail address that has been harassing you. A professional will know how to get the information that you need. You should also consider contacting AIM's support team yourself to report the malicious e-mail. AIM might be able to suspend the account or help you take legal action against the e-mail sender. But keep in mind that if AIM closes the account it will make it much harder for an investigator to trace the AIM email and identify the sender.

When it comes to doing reverse e-mail searches, whether you need to find the owner of a AIM e-mail account or a different web based e-mail address the key is to keep at it. Don't give up; you'll find what you are looking for! If you think it's too complicated you can always retain a professional that specializes in email tracing.Ed Opperman invites you to visit his cyber investigation website for all of your email search needs.

The larger files sent as is will take a long time to download and worst, some may even linger in the causing that may eventually lead for other to bounce.

While some people would not be religious in checking their emails daily, these are factors that contribute towards clogging up your email box. The best way to go is to try and decrease the size of the file. Compressing them is just one of it.

If you haven't signed up with any free web-based mail today, chances are you will not get the simple and ideal email address you will want. Some would resort to other things is to put numbers or play around with initials.

For some services which allow you to get the name you want, ISP's normally can give them to you. This also depends on the number of subscriber there are but depending on what actual email address you want, the chances of landing them with the providers are usually better.

Remember, these emails are your identity on the web. The more you get them, the better it is for you to be recognized.

We cannot avoid sending files, especially photos and images which will vary in size. Normally, puts a limit to these but as far as that come with the package service plans allow us to send larger ones.

This was the practice some time ago and today, most email providers, particularly the free web based ones, have increased the capacity of files to be sent. This stems from the fact that along with the growth of technology comes the increase in file size. While we want to avoid them, there are instances where we really cannot avoid sending them in these large formats.

Have you ever wondered if your emails were really read by the person to whom you sent them to? Well, one thing you can make sure to grab their attention is be sure that they are opened once received.

Some people fail to realize that the actual attention grabber is the subject that recipients see. It is the first thing that makes them decide if they should prioritize reading the received email or not.

Basic as it may seem, don't forget that the subject line will bring the whole summary of what the email is all about.

For domain owners and users, you will usually get a package deal in have a mail domain nameserver to go with the domain you use. This allows you to assign and create your preferred emails since you own that domain. But one thing you will notice is that you are tasked with maintaining it as well.

This includes tasks as assigning storage quota, email types and handling and whether you want them to be stored on the server or downloaded once accessed. Of the three, the storage quota is important. Remember that if that email is not checked or retrieved regularly, they will pile up, occupying a larger space and eventually become a problem when you start receiving new mail.Jon Caldwell is a professional content manager.

When you send out mail to clients or potential clients, you can make your stand out from the that they receive. Here are a few ways to get their attention and achieve direct mail success.

You can start by hand addressing the envelope. Or find a "hand writing" style font to print on to the envelope. The typical preprinted labels scream that it's a mass mailing. Addressing the envelopes by hand will really portray that personal touch and is one of the first keys to direct mail success in my experience.

Next, you can use a bright post card or envelope, something that will catch their attention and make them see who it's from.

Use a live stamp as opposed to a meter. Who uses meters? Junk mail and credit card companies. You can even use older stamps. Just go and see if any has any unused . You can often buy them for face value. This is another essential tip for direct mail success.

You could also include "teaser copy" on the outside of the envelope. Get them to open it up and read it by making a statement or some kind of exciting offer. Then show them how you are going to deliver upon it inside.

You could send out a postcard as opposed to an envelope. With all the ad copy in front of them, they have no choice but to read it.

Keep your look consistent when you repeat the mailing or offers. Your audience should start to recognize your catalogs, newsletters or post cards right away.

These tips are very easy to follow and can almost assure you direct mail success. Some thing that any communications outside of the internet is dead, but that's not true. Make each of your mailings interesting and attractive and you will see how successful you can be with your campaigns. James Calvin is an avid studier of direct mail and direct response techniques.

As each of our businesses grow, we know that most of our customers and clients will come as a results of advertising. However, we also know that we need to implement a strategy to help us expand our reach.

Word of mouth advertising is a great way to grow our businesses, mainly because a will spread the word about your great product or service. They will likely tell a friend. That's why we must keep on advertising. But how do you do it effectively when you have a limited budget and you have to worry about cash flow, payroll, inventory, rent, etc.?

I want to show you that you need to implement a direct and I will share with you what I have learned in the process of developing one for my own companies.

We started out as a small company. We were operating in a few cities only and grew the company to the point where we were operating in 394 cities, 81 markets, 19 states and 3 countries. All this took quite a long time to achieve, so in no way was it a . Sometimes we had some of our locations that were short on capital and we had to help them find ways to advertise to get the most for their advertising dollar. The most effective method we found very helpful in reaching our goals was direct mail, we implemented a direct mail strategy.

I would like for you to start thinking how you can develop a direct mail strategy for your business. You should think of the options you have to , advertising, marketing, PR, and how your direct mail strategy can come together with all of that. You need to keep an open mind and consider all the options when using a direct mail strategy.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail from a Gmail address, there are steps that you can take to find out who has been sending you the e-mail and get them to stop.

Your first step should be to use the reverse e-mail search offered by Gmail itself. This is because it is easier for Gmail to search its own e- than it is to get them to reveal information to an outside source. If you are a holder yourself you might also have more leverage than you would as an "outside" e-mail account holder. Try using Gmail's reverse e- system to see what kind of information you can uncover about the identity associated with the e-mail address that has been sending you unwanted e-mail.

If you don't have much (or any) luck with the Gmail reverse e-mail search system, there are a lot of independent reverse e-mail search systems on the World Wide Web. A simple search with any of the major search engines will turn up plenty of different search systems in which you can look up the identity that has been assigned to the e-mail address that keeps turning up in your e-mail inbox. The key in this search is to be tenacious. Do not give up if you don't find out who has been sending you unwanted e-mail with your first reverse e-mail search. One search service might have an easier time of accessing Gmail's records than others.

If the e-mails feel particularly malicious or if they are coming in extremely large quantities, you might consider hiring a professional to run a reverse e-mail search for you. Professionals usually have the legal system on their side and they will be able to contact Gmail directly to and get their help in identifying who has been e-mail stalking you. You might also contact Gmail's support team directly and let them know that you have been getting unwanted e-mails from a Gmail address and they might take care of everything for you.

Make sure that you are also taking steps to keep your own Gmail account from being hacked or hijacked and used for spam. Choose a difficult password that involves letters and numbers and change it often. When your password is easy or if it stays the same for a long time, you increase your risk of spammers getting in and using your account without your knowledge. This way nobody will need to do a reverse e-mail search to find out who you are!Ed Opperman invites you to visit his cyber investigation website for all of your email search needs.
