     Direct Mailouts

     In hard times, think about ramping up use of email, fax, and direct mail as inexpensive ways to deliver targeted offers to your best prospects. Instead of ‘shotgun’ mailouts to purchased lists, repeat mailouts to those who inquired in the past. Perhaps you don’t have your own email list to market to. If not, think about renting a list from a publisher or putting ads in other targeted email newsletters. This can be a great way to generate quick response by reaching your market.

Article contributions can include success stories and customer testimonials, as well as article bylines that illustrate your expertise. Another method of keeping your company in your customers’ minds is the newsletter. By maintaining the newsletter circulation, a brief prerequisite survey can ask subscribers some qualifying questions. The answers to these questions should be entered into the database, and follow-up steps should be taken if appropriate. Both the newsletter and article contributions can be re purposed for the Web.
