There are so many people ‘hung up’ on the statistical data of exactly how to run a mail order
Monday, August 24th, 2009There are so many people ‘hung up′ on the statistical data of exactly how to run a mail order business. Here are some other rumors:
1. Handwrite your envelopes instead of using a peel-n-stick address label. (Come on folks – this is the 1990″s – the age of the computer. Nobody has time to sit down and hand address 1,000 envelopes anymore. This rumor might have worked back in 1920 when the average mail order dealer only mailed 10 or 15 envelopes per week – but we are mailing 100 times that amount now.)
2. Only mail on Tuesday to arrive by Friday. (With all the inconsistencies in our postal system and UPS, you can never be guaranteed the day your letter will arrive. Everyday is a business day! It doesn”t matter what particular day you mail. This is nonsense.)
3. Dress your envelopes up to attract attention, such as placing sparkles and hand-drawing diagrams on the outside. (This is nonsense! In fact, this only cheapens your envelope. YOU have a business and your correspondence should appear like you are an established business. We”re not playing pen-pal games here and we”re not teenagers anymore.)
4. Mail in a window envelope so the person receiving it will think it”s a bill or check. This way they will open it faster. (Bull! Any established business opens all their mail. In fact, I never pay any attention to the outside of the envelope. I open them all! What matters the most is the content of the material inside and how it”s presented.)
