Spend some time compiling a custom mailing list of potential customers who fit your market segment. These customers will want to know about your company and may be easily converted to paying customers. Give them an incentive to try your product. On your materials include something special, like a free gift or coupon. This will entice the customer to make a purchase.

When you design your marketing materials, make sure they are perfect. You don't have any room for error. Bad graphic design and writing will turn the customer off and you may never get them back. Invest some money into winning materials because you will definitely recoup your cost.

Direct mail campaigns are an effective solution to the advertising challenges of 2014. They have a definite role to play in the growth of your business. Plan your campaign with care and watch your profits grow.
