How you can dramatically increase your sales and launch a new product
YES! Out of 240 million Americans there are thousands who would gladly purchase your product or service if they just knew about it!
The only problem is, how do you FIND THEM? You can’t afford to advertise to 240 million people.
The solution: DIRECT MAIL!
And if nothing else has brought you the customers you want, it’s time you knew what many of your fellow businesspeople have already long since discovered.
NOTHING BRINGS IN MORE NEW CUSTOMERS AT A LOWER ACQUISITION COST THAN DIRECT MAIL!
The reason is, direct mail is the only medium that lets you both (1) pinpoint your best prospect and (2) go directly to him or her with exactly the kind of appeal that has been proven to be what he or she responds best to.
Space ads and other media can work very well for your promotions. But direct mail works even better, because…
Only through direct mail can you reach the one group in society that is psychologically most ready to be your customer.
THE MISSING INGREDIENT
To be successful, direct mail has to be strong in three basic elements:
An enticing offer—the unique benefits the reader will receive;
An action-producing package—a mailing piece having copy and graphics that presents your offer compellingly; and
Superior list recommendations—list-test selections made by a professional consultant who specializes in list selections.
A promotion fails because it’s weak in one or more of these. The most frequent and most crucial failure of all is this:
While even the most brilliant package does poorly when mailed to the wrong lists, an ordinary package pulls well if it’s mailed to the right lists.
The reason is obvious: If you’re just plain not interested in buying, no package will change your mind. But if you’re likely to purchase similar products, you’re likely to respond to even an average package.
BUT WHERE DO YOU GET THESE KINDS OF LISTS?
…the kind that turns a money-losing package into a money-making one, and a good one into a gold mine? That’s a good question, because there are over 50,000 lists now available in the nation, with a combined total of over 5 billion names!
The answer is, while there are dozens of list companies who can make, order and recommend lists, only a handful specialize in direct mail consultation.
InfoMat is one of these select few! InfoMat has earned a reputation among companies nationwide as an unusually skillful list consulting firm. These include some of the nation’s largest companies, as well as those just beginning to grow through direct mail. What’s more, 60 advertising agencies throughout the United States now rely on InfoMat for list recommendations for their clients.
InfoMat handles local and national promotions, with clients worldwide. The reason? Our list selections pull better! For YOU, that adds up to more customers at a lower acquisition cost.
HOW PROFITABLE ARE OUR LIST SELECTIONS?
An investment newsletter came to us. Everything they’d done had raised only a few hundred subscribers. With InfoMat’s help, they now have over 100,000 subscribers at $145 per year, are still growing by leaps and bounds and are the phenomenon of the newsletter industry!
Another marketer repaid original promotion costs in 2½ weeks, and Quadrupled by the 5th week.
For a brand new product developed from scratch, we doubled the initial promotion investment by the 5th week. They’re now mailing to half a million InfoMat names a month.
Another expensive product which came to InfoMat for lists has gone from 1,000 to over 48,000 new customers.
