When it comes to writing direct mail, search for examples of quality marketing is like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack.

Here, check this out: I am a perpetual student. I have lots of books and papers all over the house. Courses, magazines, books, letters, and hundreds of pages of printed material I from things we encounter online.

And They're everywhere.

Some small lots to the back of the table where no one feels … other medium-sized stash in her chair in the dining room where no one notices too … on top of each table in my office … on the floor of the bathroom next to the toilet (but not in my teenage sons bathrooms – I dare not even there .)… and scattered around my desk on the floor of my office, I have several batteries too.

Occasionally I get through one or two of the batteries, or if I take a long flight and you scoop em up things in my briefcase and they tend to disappear for a while, but then … in a few weeks, which magically reappear as a kind of weed in your garden you could swear you just shot last week, and last week before that.

The thing is that while most things in these stacks contains good information, most of direct mail I receive, is pure crap. No matter how hard we try to find even a good idea that could use and run with it, I keep turning up empty-handed.

The other day, however, I received a very interesting piece in the mail, I can use and actually improve.

It was a crumpled piece of paper, which was a cover letter a sales tool. The letter was written across it, in writing, something to the effect of, "I figured since I drove the last two pieces of mail that I sent, I would give an advantage in this case. "

This was quite intelligent as a letter to an elevator monitoring work, I thought.

The copy of itself was not very convincing, but the concept of work. The piece is supposed to stop and pay attention to me and I did.

Unfortunately, Part of the actual sale was horrible. They could have sent the Hope Diamond as a free gift, and have not yet been able to read through it. But the point is, at least I found an idea to run with.

The truth is that accurate for models at all, is rarely productive. But the search for good ideas, finding them and then customize to their specific needs, it's incredibly productive.

There are some changes that have been made, the lift note, and if you use direct mail, pay close attention to them: I would have used yellow paper, and I probably would have written the note in blue ink instead of black. I would also have included my photo in this paper also lifting. Photos always gets more attention and increase response rates.

Since the value Compromise was high, which means that the seller can afford to spend money to acquire customers, I also have sent the whole thing into a spam program, crease instead of the ticket.

The trash I'm talking about are the small bins can be mailed out – several of my clients have used with success. I'm sure you'll agree, it is virtually impossible to ignore something like this when it arrives in your mailbox.

The big problem with this, is normally not able to find good ideas like this, even in 1 of every 100 pieces of mail you might get. But that's OK, because … when it comes to drafting direct mail, even a good idea … worth its weight … gold.

Now go sell something.
