Take charge of your advertising and at
the same time take responsibility for
the results.
There's nothing wrong with turning to a
professional to help.
You should listen to advice on layout,
copy, offers, mailing lists and more.
But remember - no one knows more about
your business than you do,
and the final decisions should be yours
alone.
Advertising and marketing is common
sense. Don't be in a hurry. Think about
the content of your direct mail
campaign. Do you feel comfortable?
What's your "gut feeling"?
Everyone wants to hit a home run the
first time at bat, but direct mail
advertising is often trial and error.
Even if no one responds to your campaign
- that's still a result (obviously not
the one you wanted) and you can learn
from it. Don't be discouraged and blame
the post office or your direct mail
company. Remember it's the message that
makes a prospect respond - not the
messenger.
So keep fine tuning your message and
just like in the big leagues, you'll
become a heavy hitter! |
