Don't
Throw That "Junk Mail" In The Trash . . .
It Could Be Your Key To Finding A Product
That Could Make You Thousands Of Dollars!
Stay
in tune with the things that are working for other people.
That will show you exactly which mail-order products will
sell - and which ones won't. Keep swipe files, and study
other ads to figure out what's working and what's not.
When
most people look at ads and sales letters, they are very
passive. They even have a name for direct mail that you
might have used a time or two in your life: "JUNK
MAIL." If you get the right offer to the right person
through the right kind of media, then it's not junk mail.
It may be junk to some people, but to other people it's
a treasure.
For
the marketer, all direct mail is valuable. It can be used
as models to develop and create their own valuable sales
message material. You can lift ideas and concepts from
it. You can gather new information.
There
is a different mind set that is key. Ideas are everywhere,
and you can borrow them from all sorts of different direct
mail ads and sales letters.
Decide
you are going to think about this differently than most
people do. You are going to be serious about the business.
You are going to study these things, not just read about
them.
One
of the worst mistakes you can make is to simply read direct
mail ads in the hope that you will gain some sort of superficial
knowledge from it. You should study the ads others are
using and see how you can incorporate the ideas yourself.
