 ============
 It is not that difficult to have an effective direct mail
 campaign that draws in customers both new and old. It only
 takes a little bit of work to create an effective system for
 your company. 
  
 The first and most important concept to make sure to take care
 of when having a direct mail listing is to have a clear
 objective of what you want to accomplish with your mailing. Do
 you want more customers or do you want to offer an incentive to
 get the customers that you have already to come back to purchase
 more? Having an idea of what you want to accomplish with your
 mailings will help conserve money and make your direct mailing
 campaign effective. 
  
 Make your direct mailing campaign personal. People like to
 receive letters in the mail from friends and relatives and not
 junk mail. Making your direct mailing campaign more like a
 letter to a friend than a junk mail add will keep your
 advertisement from being thrown away. 
  
 Give incentives everyone loves to get something whether it be a
 discount or a free item. An incentive can be aimed at returning
 customers to keep them coming back for more or to new customers
 not yet familiar with your company. Incentives can work for
 either customer category. 
  
 Why should they use your company? Put in the direct mail
 campaign the benefits and reasons why they should come back to
 use your again or use you for the first time. Make sure they
 know why you are better than any of your competitors out there.
 However, keep this relatively humble. No one likes an inflated
 ego. 
  
 Never forget to leave a way for them to contact your business.
 Should they come into a store, call your over the phone or
 visit your website. It would be a travesty to have a customer
 that wants to use your product and is sold on your
 advertisement but has absolutely no way to reach you to take
 advantage of that new found knowledge. 
  
 Taking these steps will help make your direct mail campaign
 effective in bringing in customers to your business. Not only
 to save you money but to also increase your profits. With these
 things in mind you too can run an effectively keep your business
 in the minds of the average consumer, bringing your business to
 the next level.
