Email marketing is 20 times more cost effective than direct mail, and can cost substantially less.

Direct Mail Response vs. E-Mail: Which is Higher? "Whether campaigns are sent to outside mailing lists or house files, marketers anticipate-and have seen-higher responses to their e-mail efforts than they have to traditional mailings, according to two studies by Direct magazine.

Why the difference? Well, there's the immediacy of e-mail, or more specifically the immediacy of response. It takes more time to hunt down a pen, and in some cases a stamp, than it does to click a reply button."

If you have access to customers/clients etc. email addresses, it has been my experience (5 years) that email marketing creates a faster and more cost effective response than traditional direct mail. Although one should not rule out direct mail as a marketing tactic, email marketing has rapidly proven to boost web traffic, overall company revenue, and customer loyalty.

Hello,
I was reading your input on brochure making and mail marketing, I loved your concept on the whole idea. I need more marketing on my product because of this being a new innovative product sales are slow. Maybe you can look at my product. Please contact me on my profile.

Thank You

Yes Sir, I have done a couple mail-out campaigns. I believe that research has shown that Wednesday is best to have
your campaign delivered. Monday is generally Junk Mail Day. Too close to the week-end, it becomes old and may go into the trash unnoticed. As for a great company to work with, Vista Print. They always have great sales and easy to
work with templates. I have enclosed a Link to my website, you may find more useful information there. You can also
check with Printing For Less also available at my website. You can also contact me from there, I will gladly share more information with you about marketing. Heres a link to my site, Everyone feel free to visit, it is based on Business for Home and Real Estate. http://ricamp.info

A monthly newsletter will also provide you with a useful tool to target existing and new clients. A lot of great sales foks in this Forum. It all comes down to trust and relationship, get some good refrences local or out of state in todays market local is anywhere you can send a digital file by FTP or email. ROI is the tool you will use to measure your success, a very tagrgeted mailing list and a relevent message with a call to action that motivate your prospect to contact you now or in the next 3 - 6 months, consistantcy and a commitment to measure your results and do the backend work as well to stimulate the new concept business. mail, email, phone calls web presence. It is alot of work but not rocket science. I am here to consult and produce any media that will make it happen but just mailing is a great start. If you are interested in a complete turn key solution to building your business, I have helped many companies both launch new products as well as turn around a failing business to a sales success. Remember "nothing happens until someone sells something".. To that end maling is a part of the picture. If interested in talking furthur I can send you my number. Nick Herman D.H.I.
