Hub You - Direct Mail Campaigns -- Expert Targeting Creates Awesome Results
No matter what you do, there will come a time when a customer will ask for a refund for some reason or another. Do you give it to them? That depends. If you have an unconditional money back guarantee, there's no question. Refund the money -- no questions asked. What if you have no stated guarantee? What would you do? How would you proceed?Your best course of action will normally be to go ahead and negotiate a refund. Perhaps it won't be a full refund, but one that both you and your customer feel comfortable with. The time and effor

Devising correct marketing strategies are important for expansion of all the businesses. Only those products that are marketed well sell in the market. They sell because their promoter has done his groundwork well. He has found out answers to the basic questions that determine the success of any business. He has found out who he is, what is he doing, which is his market, who are the potential customers, and when does he want do product launch and how does he trap customers.The marketing plan document developed by the promoter will
You see, this low ‘normal response’ is usually because the mail shot is sent to a list of names or contacts that is not qualified or targeted. It’s like taking a handful of seed and scattering them on the ground and hoping some will take root, before being eaten by the birds.
‘PREPARING THE GROUND’
You have to ‘sow’ your seeds in prepared ground and nurture them to increase the chances of growth. The same applies to the letters you send out and the adverts you place.
TARGETING YOUR AUDIENCE MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE
Selecting the right people and businesses to write to impacts dramatically on the results you get.
Let me give you an example; a letting management agent, wanted to offer his services to people buying apartments at a new, exclusive development.
A letter was sent to the people who had already agreed to buy one of these opulent apartments - this was a VERY SMALL AND VERY TARGETED LIST -- just 48 addresses.
It went out the week before Christmas, it was felt his prospects would possibly get bored in the long holiday between Christmas and New Year and would read the letter, even though it contained a large number of pages.
There were 2 responses between Christmas and New Year!
A slightly shorter, follow-up, letter was sent after New Year reminding them about the first letter and giving them the essence of the offer again.
The final outcome? An amazing 44.2% responded and a whopping 63.16% of the enquiries converted into clients.
This rate of response and conversion is highly unusual -- a percentage of 4% to 5% is normally an excellent outcome. More often results are in the ?% to 1?% range. But it does show how precise targeting can increase your results dramatically.

The way in which we work has changed dramatically over the last 50 years or so, with some authorities going as far as to say that the job is dead, while others are predicting that anyone over the age of 40 and out of work will never work again.Are these gloomy predictions true? The situation is not quite as grim as many would suggest, but nonetheless points to a growing trend in job insecurity. How can older workers and indeed, those just starting out, hope to deal with the changing job market?With so many people facing redu

To make a REAL impression, give QUALIFIED visitors something that shows you understand their needs and want to give them something that will actually help them. A package of tissues imprinted with the name of an allergy medication is much more effective than a pen or a magnet. Why? Because it's actually useful - and it reminds them of the medication when they need it most. Put a little thought into it and come up with something unique, thoughtful and useful and - you'll have a premium that pays!But the most effective premium is

Infomercials are paid programs that basically air whatever the sponsor requires of them. In these infomercials, you will find actors playing the role of a scientist who has just discovered a breakthrough product and wants to share it with the public. There are occasions, however, when the person featured is an actual physician. These physicians have already appeared in magazines and TV shows, adding to their credibility. They usually endorse products such as exercise equipment, workout videos and weight loss medication.Exercise equ

‘Preparing’ for your mailing campaign means identifying people or businesses who have already bought or expressed an interest in what you have to offer.
HOW DO I FIND PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MY PRODUCT OR SERVICE?
Well, in the case of a letter going out, it depends upon where your prospects’ details come from in the first place. If they are in your database, that you have spent time building from the contacts you have made over the years, then you have made a note of what would interest them -- haven’t you?
If you don’t have a database of contacts, you need to get people to qualify themselves by responding to an offer.
Let’s say you have rented a mailing list of 10,000 addresses. You qualified as much as you could when you sourced the list, types of business, contacts within the business, geographical location etc. Don’t mail to the whole list -- filter the list to discover who is more likely to buy your product or service, based on whatyou know about your current customer list.
Make a low priced or no charge offer to get the people who are more likely to be interested in what you supply to respond. Effectively 'holding up their hand'.
It could be a report (or white paper) on something that gives your prospect useful information and has some connection with your main product or service.
If you’re aiming to get people to attend a seminar, then inviting them to a taster session may be the right ‘carrot’ to entice your prospects to book on the seminar itself. Or a teleconference beforehand giving them an idea of what the seminar itself is about.
The key is to get people to self-qualify themselves for your main product or service by responding to your offer.
As people respond to your initial letter you can start to write to them with specific offers, knowing they are now
