The very first thing you need to know about writing and designing effective direct mail packages is that you probably should not. Effective copy writing and design is very difficult for the average person, and those that are good at it have done a lot of studying and have tested a multitude of approaches and styles depending on their understanding of the nature of their audiences. Don’t expect a copywriter that is successful with “non-profit” solicitations to be equally as adept at writing copy for “for-profit” offerings. Both Picasso and DaVinci were masterful artists, “in their own right,” with distinct styles, preferences, abilities and “audiences.” Copywriters are like artists. People who are successful at creative are, in fact, practicing an art form.

The best way to find good, professional copy writers and graphic designers that can relate to your specific set of needs is to contact a direct marketing association office (i.e., DWAW is the Direct Marketing Association of Washington). There is one in every major city across the country. The people who work there are very familiar with the range of resources available to you. They can save you a lot of time in your quest to identify people who have a background of success in your interest area. This is not something that demands close physical proximity and you have a vast array of alternatives available to you. Finally, you definitely want to make “a previous record of success in your arena” a prime consideration in the process of identifying your “creative partner.”

On the other hand, maybe you are a small business with limited funding and you want to give it a shot on your own without risking a lot of money. The best way to begin on your own is to look at the creative used by other entities like yours and essentially copy those things that (1) appeal to you and (2) you see on a repetitive basis. It is being repeated because it works! I dont mean you should copy other material word for word, but by format and general content. You can also find lots of copy writing resources on the Internet (type the words copy writing into your browser and youll be amazed at how many resources youll find).

What you will quickly come to learn about creative is that testing is the name of the game when it comes to direct mail, and I would strongly suggest (in fact, insist!) it be done constantly to determine what creative will work best for a given offer or solicitation. If you are not testing alternative copy (among other things) in every one of your mailings, you are not taking advantage of the single biggest advantage that direct mail offers over other kinds of less targeted marketing types — “measurability!” All of your mailings should be predicated on past results.

Finally, those creative people that work closely with their production manager or printer in the early stages of creating a package are more likely to be able to accomplish their objectives most cost effectively and in the time frames they require by avoiding package designs that result in production hurdles and challenges (wasted money).

Whether you use a professional resource (highly recommended!) or give it your own best shot, I wish you many profitable mailings.

There are many times in the career of a marketing person where this issue will come up - which agency should I use? From the perspective of the advertising agency or the marketing agency, the answer is simple, “Use us!”

The client is usually pressured from many quarters, among which are the pressure to deliver results, the watching eyes of everyone anxious to see a “great advertisement” and of course, the pressures from various Account Executives and Account Directors to make the big decision

There are many resources available that discuss various criteria that can be used to select the best marketing or advertising agency. Over the years, we have found that all of these boil down to just 4 key factors. Do we dare say that these are the “4P’s” of selecting an advertising agency? OK, we dare.

So, here are the 4P’s to help you select the best advertising or marketing agency for your all-important marketing campaign.

People

There is a very important element in the selection process that many miss. In today’s high pressure, results-oriented business environment, we often forget a fundamental truth. The world, even the hard-nosed business world, is made up of PEOPLE. You can work with the most creative minds, the strongest marketing teams, and maybe even pure geniuses. The reality is, if you simply cannot “get along”, it is highly unlikely that you will come up with a winning campaign. The People element cannot be over-stressed. Even a mediocre team, inspired by great team spirit, can produce astounding campaigns. The sense of belonging, of ownership, spurs people to greater heights. In an advertising campaign, where emotions, values and vision play such important roles, it is the people who will win through. Not the genius. If you cannot trust your agency, you can forget about doing anything great.

Proposal

If people were the only considerations, then the business world will be filled with friends and lovers. How wonderful. Unfortunately, true substance is still a very necessary ingredient in the success of any marketing campaign. This is so important that most of the time, the Proposal, the Big Idea, the Grand Creative; have formed the linch pin of all decisions. This can work. This does work. So, this is an element that must not be overlooked. The proposal should cover not just the creative vision, but all the elements that make the campaign successful. Some things to look out for in a good proposal would be:

- Clear vision and objectives
- media plan (if applicable)
- Great creatives (usually mistaken to be the ONLY element for a winning proposal)
- Project Planning and Timelines (project management elements)

There are many things to look out for depending on the type of campaign that is planned. But this should give a good idea. Like I said earlier, judging proposals have been a long standing practise in selection of advertising agencies and marketing agencies.

Process

But a great proposal and a nice team of people might be present, however, to ensure the success of a marketing campaign, the proper processes must be in place. You must have a good understanding of the organisation, the resource and the way of working of the selected agency. In a major advertising campaign, the number of elements could mean that different teams are involved in different aspects. Does the agency have enough manpower and talent to support the scale? If they have the people, do they have an established, well rehearsed way of communications and coordination? This might seem trivial, but once you are in the middle of a major campaign, and the key Account Manager calls in sick, you will surely appreciate a rock solid process.

Price

Yes, price is indeed a consideration. Don’t we all wish we had budgets the size of a mountain? Even Bill Gates have to thing about budgets. While this is important, it is also the last piece that needs to be considered. Pay peanuts to get monkeys. Sounds familiar, right? While it is true that the most expensive is not necessarily the best and the cheapest, not always the worse; price is indeed a poor guage of the potential success of a marketing agency. Work out a realistic budget. Your local 4A’s (or whatever the association of advertising agencies is called in your neck of the woods) should have a price guide available on request.

There you have it. 4 P’s as promised. With this, you should be in good standing to make an intelligent decision on the marketing agency to be selected. This is by no means the best, the only or even an assured way to make the decision. However, this is a good starting point, and if used prudently can help tremendously. Here’s to your next successful marketing or advertising campaign!

If we look at the history of Marketing, we will see an interesting evolution of the leading brand attributes capitalized on by marketing tactics and strategies.

After the Second World War, we saw the birth of different products and after some time, man had been able to create a myriad of products for everything a person could possibly ever need and want. That is why, by the 1960s, these brands of products needed to get aggressive.

To gain an advantage over other products, different brands invested in active sales forces to peddle their respective brands. Through the 1970s and 80s though, these brands realized that they would have to do more than just get out there and sell. They had to define their difference and distinction from the rest to gain brand preference. This is what gave birth to advertising.

As we approach the 21st century, we see that aside from all the other evolutions in leading brand attributes like, customer service and distribution access, advertising remains to be at the core of marketing agendas. It doesn’t matter if you have the best brand out there. Your brand will not translate into profit for your business if it does not own a mind share among consumers.

To own mindshare you need to advertise and advertise well. The problem though is that advertising; especially mainstream advertising does not come cheap. Mainstream advertising means the usual tri media (print, radio, TV) exposure. Fortunately, bellow the line advertising evolved and gave other medium to small brands a chance to exist in the market.

Below the line is the term used for non-traditional advertising and these include, but are not limited to transit ads, flyers, inserts and many more. These non-traditional ways of advertising products are affordable and more targeted to ensure that you hit the right target when and where you need it.

One exciting and wonderful addition to non-traditional advertising is the use of inflatable balloons. From colorful generic shapes swaying to the wind’s rhythm, to specialized characters and signs inflated to get your customer’s attention, these wonderful inflated balloons are wonderful for advertising your products or services.

It is also wonderful to use during events or special days at your establishment. For instance you are having a special day sale-used for advertising, these inflatable balloons will call attention to passers by and get them enticed to check out what you’re offering. Whatever the case may be, using inflatable balloons for advertising your products and services have the best value for money with high attention grabbing power.

Start taking advantage of this fact today and check out the links below to get you hooked up with the best companies that offer inflatable balloons for your every advertising need.

Promotion is an important part of the marketing mix. Promotion, advertising, and marketing all focus on popularising a product, brand, or service. There is a large variety of products available in the market, which you can use as a promotional gift. Think smart to identify the best promotional products that will effectively cater to the needs of your target audience and help deliver the communication message too. In these respects, pens are a good tool. They are widely used and appeal to all strata of the society.

Promotional pens are one of the best giveaways as they are inexpensive, available in interesting varieties, and cater to all age groups. Most people do not carry a pen, but may need it any time on road, to sign the credit card receipt, to scribble appreciation at a restaurant. Pull out a flashing new pen and ask your customer to retain it for future use. The utility and the attitude will be remembered for long.

A good an effective promotional item is not expensive but is handy and is frequently used by the target audience. It is essential that you first understand the needs and preferences of the target audience and then decide the type of the promotional product. Promotional mugs, calendars, and many other products are appealing and useful to the audience, but the pen fits all bills and budgets because of its usability and small size. In any case, it is necessary that the product is carefully chosen so that it creates a lasting impact on the target audience.

One of the major advantages is that they are available at a reasonable price, can be of varied standards and quality, and serve as an all-time gift. They will not exert your budget too much but perform their function well.

Business promotional pens can be customized according to your specifications and designed in a creative, stylish fashion to enhance the appeal. These pens help in enhancing the brand image and creating brand recognition. A small investment in this promotional product offers long term dividends for your business.

Designing promotional pens should be done carefully. This aspect should include precise knowledge of the needs of the clients. If you are designing these pens for students, you can make them useful by adding red, blue, and black ink buttons. Are these promotional pens for a company’s sales force? Then, it should reflect the company logo and colors. It is important that they are elegant and classy so that they can impress the company’s clients. If you are planning to gift these pens to the top brass, spend a little more and ensure that these pens are of the best quality and look.

If you need help in deciding, designing, or planning your promotional gifts, visit the webs leading online suppliers where you can easily place your orders for customised pens online. These are available at very affordable rates with a vast and impressive variety of promotional products, gifts and items, including promotional pens, mugs, caps, clothing, calendars, and bags.

Most people get very frustrated when they try to write sales copy for their offer because they make it out to be much more difficult than it really is.

You would be surprised to know that following certain guidelines or tips will make the whole chore of writing effective and winning sales copy a hell lot simpler.

Tip #1 Remember The Top Priority Is The PROSPECT

Keep in mind that everything you write about has to have your prospects interest as the top priority.

Everything that you say or talk about has to be focused on the prospects needs, wants, aspirations and frustrations.

Whatever you write about your offer has to benefit your prospects life making it better, easier and more comfortable.

Tip #2 List Benefits

It is also extremely important to make the benefits very apparent to your prospect.

Forget about listing features of your offer but rather change or phrase the features into benefits that your prospect will be getting.

Fast is a feature but the benefit to your prospect would be that it will save his precious time for spending with his family or for leisure.

Waterproof is a feature and the benefit to your prospect would be that he or she can wear it while swimming and do not have to worry about it when it rains.

You should never leave it to your prospect to figure out the benefits they get from the features in your sales copy.

It is your duty to tell them precisely what the benefit they get from each feature if you want them to even consider your offer.

Tip #3 Write The Way You Talk

What better way to communicate with your prospect than to be able to talk to him or her as if you were right in front of them?

Nothing can be more boring than to read a sales letter that reads like a chapter in a school textbook.

When you write the way you talk, the sales copy becomes more lively and exciting.

Use short sentences.

Use sentence fragments.

Use one word sentence.

Use short paragraphs.

Use CAPITAL LETTERS.

Tip #4 Be Clear And Simple

Avoid using long or big words that will risk the chance that your prospect might not understand.

Jargons are definitely a no-no unless you are absolutely sure that your target prospect will without a doubt understand.

Whenever in doubt, substitute the word with something simpler or understandable phrase.

Your sales copy should be broken up into digestible bite-sizes.

It will make your sales copy more readable and less intimidating.

If your sales copy looks tough to read, not many people will read it.

Marketing is all about getting exposure for your business. While its important to have an overall plan for marketing that includes marketing gifts and giveaways, summer is a good time to suspend a few of the rules and just get out there to have some fun. Seriously. Some serious fun with marketing gifts that take fun seriously.

Summer is a prime time for neighborhood and town festivals, street fairs and business picnics. If your town or a local organization is holding a health fair, craft fair or any other type of festival to be held outside, you can usually book a table at their event for as little as 10. These little gatherings and festivals are a great way to mark yourself as one of the neighbors and heighten awareness of your business, name and services. All it takes is a little creativity and a stock of some fun, inexpensive marketing gifts that you can take with you from event to event.

The Game Plan
Step 1: Attract people to your table.
Make it colorful, make it bright. Blow up brightly colored balloons to float from the table legs or chairs, or tape them to the edge of the table. Be sure to offer a balloon to any child who stops to ooh and ahhh at them. Youve got plenty more where that came from, and in the meantime, your balloon will be making the rounds with your name printed on it.

Make sure that you lay out a few samples of each of your marketing gifts on the table interspersed with promotional material and information about your business.

Step 2: Give them something they want.
Theres one thing that everyone is sure to want on a hot day outside water! Fill up a barrel with ice and nest some water-filled sports bottles down in it. Keep the barrel behind the table so that you have to hand the sports bottles out personally. That will give you a chance to shake hands, introduce yourself and make with the friendly banter.

Step 3: Give them something to think about.
Make sure that your message is prominently displayed and that you have plenty of promotional materials to hand out. Take the time to talk briefly with those that express an interest in your product or service, but skip the business card just for today. Instead

Step 4: Give them something to take away.
Hand them a Frisbee with your business information on it. Or a boomerang. A fan. Anything thats fun, bright and fits in with the mood of the day. This is also a good time to use up leftover marketing gifts from throughout the year. Pull out the extra printed t-shirts and hats from the last business conference, and tuck it all into the leftover carrier bags.

Among other things, the leading promotional gifts suppliers on the internet offer a broad range of inexpensive and fun marketing gifts for your summer promotions. If youre looking for something different, browse the internet and contact one of the many experienced representatives for additional ideas or advice.

Business cards are one of the most common advertising tools that people use today. They can be helpful if you need to exchange contact information with a client or if you want to promote your business to other people without doing a sales pitch.

Print the cards out on the provided stock after youve made sure that all the information in the cards are correct. You can print a few sample cards on a piece of plain print paper, then you may request some one else to check your work for errors.

You can also contact companies that make business cards to do all the work for you. Give them the information that you want to appear on the card and choose the appropriate design.

They will then deliver your cards at your home or workplace. It would be sensible to check the cards to see if everything is in order. The cards are useless if they contain incorrect information or if they are not up to your standards.

Balloon blimp is better than conventional billboard as a method of advertising. The great advantage is its visual impact even for several miles because it can be mobilized in places like real blimps being noted for as an airship. It is basically lightweight, inflatable, reusable and transportable.

The concept of advertising using balloon blimps is very popular even up to now, especially for exposed promotions outdoors. Large companies like Goodyear, Fujifilm, Budweiser, and Metlife are known to have used blimps for the purpose.

Other than advertising, they use the blimps to take aerial shots of special events. While recalling some serious use of real blimps in World War II, these blimps served as an airship monitoring war fields/battlegrounds in Pacific and Atlantic. It also served to survey landmines through radars attached to its sides.

Balloon Blimps are bigger in size compared to ordinary advertising balloons. Usually lowest dimension starts at 11 feet for the advantage of catching an attention from far away. Balloon blimps could be anchored to stable grounds and they can be made dynamic to perform movements for enhanced appeal.

As a very cheap yet effective form of advertising, a cost of an approximate amount of $300 dollars or more is enough to let even small and large businesses get promoted the chic way. Advertising balloon blimps can be launched into air with helium or air blowers. Passersby can be directly hooked to look up at the brightly colored advertising blimps.

For temporary use, advertising balloon blimps can be rented as well to save cost on acquiring an original one.

The only thing that differentiates other advertising balloons from balloon blimps is the appearance. Generally balloons can be any character desired, while blimps resemble the old time concept of old airship blimp. Basically they are just the same balloons lurking around busy downtowns as interesting advertising tools.

There are so many gimmicks that could come along with advertising balloon blimps. They complete some functions in sports, competition and other related activities needing sponsorship and exposure. They could also be used for some very important public announcements and celebrations.

All in all, advertising balloon blimps attract all ages, especially children. It should be strategically placed in busy spots where there are episodes of heavy traffic most of the time to get the most of exposure. This is debatable in some way causing hazards whenever drivers are distracted along the way.
