James Malinchak Talks About Why Direct Mail Still Works For Entrepreneurs

By Matthew Maxwell


You probably hear people discussing the fall of the United States Postal Service. However, I do not agree. While traditional mail has faltered for many with the infiltration of Internet correspondence, Personally, I like the old method of the mail box. A tangible letter, thank you card, or brochure carries a lot more weight than an impersonal email easily discarded with a delete button. Therefore, if you want to have a larger impact rely on the traditional method of a handwritten note.

Take into account the mail you will get. What stands apart for you? What mail do you keep? What mail would you pitch? Well, I have studied the facets of mail, and i also realized that:

1) mail that has something personal written on it is kept longer,

2) first class stamped mail gets opened sooner than bulk mail,

3) mail with personalized envelopes looks classier, and markets to others, and

4) handwritten thank you notes are appreciated more than other forms of thank you

In terms of mail that is opened first, you're probably to spread out mail that is personalized for you in someone's handwriting. That is why I personally address all the mail. If I am utilizing a label, I usually write a personal message on every one of the envelopes. Why would I spend some time to do this? For many reasons, I take the time to address people personally which include acknowledgement of them, personalization of our own relationship, also to build rapport. Clients appreciate mail from you, particularly when you decide to go above and beyond. Sure, it takes time, lots of time, but they're worth it!

I send items in the mail top class since i understand it will arrive to them. Also, I think that some of the bulk mailings are perceived as trash when received. No personalization whatsoever in a bulk mail sent to everyone the identical, so not my preference. Personally, if you did not take time to mail me something personalized in my experience, I would not believe that you love me receiving it. Likewise, with the personalized messages. It stands out as different and unique.

I realized there waswasted commercial space on envelopes. Also, I realized it had become prime opportunity to 'always be marketing;' I knew needed to utilize that space to the best of my ability. Think about it. When you're getting the mail, the thing is the surface when you collect it. You are already subliminally consuming the data. Then, then you don't open it immediately. You may sit the mail around the counter, or place it in a vehicle before you get to your office. Again, the message is feeding in your head about my bootcamp or about my coaching. Once that you open the envelope, you may have seen the exterior several times. Every time you see the mail, it improves our relationship and our rapport.

I will be very candid concerning the things that I really do when i promise no BS. The items that I really do has a purpose. You are able to decide to get ticked off about it or thank me for being honest and commence practicing these methods yourself. There are basic ways of build rapport and strengthen relationships with clients, friends, and prospects. Equally as I really do all of this I said, I additionally write handwritten notes to the people. Personally, I love getting handwritten notes that recapture a great memory or recap a meeting. Handwritten notes certainly are a lost art, and when you would like to be remembered you will start sending them regularly. By the way, there will probably never be an e-card, text, or email that'll be as valuable in your relationships as a handwritten note.
