As promised, I am posting results of my direct mail campaign for others to see.
The last week of March, I had 1000 4x6 postcards mailed to 3 saturation routes by Adeas. Actually, about 900 were mailed by Adeas. The remaining apprx. 100 were sent to me to address and mail myself (postage paid on these too). So, these cards have been out as long as 6 weeks, to as little as 3 weeks. One mailing only. Price: $465 all inclusive/in housholds.
To date, I have gotten 12 hits from the cards. I have made 5 sales from those hits, totaling around $2K worth of business. As cold as it has been here, I would expect a few more calls by mid-May, and hopefully another sale or two.
I am reasonably happy with this result. I over tripled my input in sales.
My hit rate and sales rate are pretty average, but hey to hit the averages gives a guy some confidence for future attempts.
