Tip 1: Know Your Target Audience
- Where are your leads coming from?
- Are they related to what you are advertising?
Tip 2: Test A Small Group First
- Test around 500 postcards/letters and measure results
- Test different lists to measure consistency
- If you need, consult with a campaign design team to increase conversions
Tip 3: Multi-sequence contact always out-pulls single contact
- 3-4 in one month for one campaign
- Follow-up = dollars
- Consistency = higher open rates
Tip 4: Use Catchy Headlines
- Headlines are what get the reader to keep reading
- Tons of free stuff online on how to create catchy headlines
- Answer the “What’s In It For Me?” question in first 5 seconds
Tip 5: Build A Collection Of Swipe Files
- No point reinventing the wheel
- After you test multiple pieces, save the ones that do the best
- Continue to do this, and test new ideas
- Soon you will have an archive of VERY valuable marketing ads
Tip 6: Track Your Leads and How Much They Cost
- Sign up page that tracks who lands on the page vs. how many mailers you sent out
- Great way to track stats, open rates, conversion rates, etcs...
Tip 7: Personalize Your Campaigns
- How do you stand out among all other spam mail?
- Pay a third party to hand write addresses
- “chunky” mail - mail with some weight, perceived value
Tip 8: Automate and Convenience

- But also include website links, QR Codes,
