<div class='uawarticle'>Direct mail is one tool that most Internet marketers don't give a lot of thought too. However, when you do it right, direct mail can bring a huge amount of profitability to your business. Of course, if you don't know what you're doing, your direct mail won't help you get anywhere. If you don't get it right from the start you'll be wasting a large pile of paper, toner, time, and patience. But there are quite a few different things you can do to prevent that outcome. These tips will help you avoid the pain and enjoy the pleasure direct mail can bring to your business.<br />
<br />
Just like with a sales page or an email that gets sent out to your list, your direct mail piece needs to have a specific call to action. You can still use direct mail as a way to introduce your business or even to advertise a special deal on a product or service. But if you leave out a call to action, people may simply toss it in the recycling bin without reading it. Any direct mail you send out needs to incorporate the action you want readers to take, whether that's visiting your site, or subscribing to your newsletter, or buying a specific product, etc. You need to be positive that you purpose is stated clearly.<br />
<br />
Everybody thinks that they are good at copywriting. Some individuals are very good at copywriting, and others are terrible. It is important that you do not practice these particular skills using your direct mail campaign. Instead of trying to do it on your own (especially if you lack the skills) you should hire a professional copywriter to do this for you. Copywriting is more complicated than it looks. The goal is to manipulate people without them realizing it. So you have to write everything in a way that is informative and entertaining, yet underhandedly persuasive. Professional copywriters understand how to do this right. If you get it done the right way the first time, a good copywriters work can literally recoup your investment with them in a matter of days.<br />
<br />
Be prepared for the follow up before you send out your direct mail. You can do this with a second piece of direct mail but it is better to use email or a phone call. This is a great way to really stand out among the competition for your prospects time and attention. Of course, this is only practical when you're sending smaller batches of direct mail out. Of course that doesn't change the fact that it really makes a positive impression. A quick phone call to say "I sent you something about a week ago, and I want to make sure you saw it." It's little things like this that convert someone thinking about doing business with you into a paying customer.<br />
<br />
Direct mail is not dead by any stretch of the imagination. Ignore anyone who tries to tell you otherwise. Many people have just forgotten how effective it can be for business. Direct mail is a highly profitable technique to use for boosting your business that still delivers and impressive return on investment.<br />
