The Basics of Effective Direct Mail
Following are some proven tips to consider when planning your next mailing.
The success of your campaign relies on the following:
- The accuracy of your mailing list
- The perceived quality of your offer
- The appeal or look of your mail piece
Statistics suggest that the mailing list makes up 40% of the success of a mailing, the offer makes up another 40% and design or look such as paper, type selection and color is responsible for the remaining 20%.
Buy a good list
Know your target, and select a qualified mailing list. You get what you pay for so don’t waste money on postage and the cost of your mailer only to find out that the less expensive list had a 60 or 70% accuracy rate.
Don’t underestimate the power of the word FREE
Nothing works better than a powerful offer to get your target to respond. Be sure your offer is easy to understand and clearly spelled out. Don’t underestimate the power of the words FREE or MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
Be sure to:
- Keep the copy simple with your message stated clearly
- Write with emotion using the first-person perspective (use you, your, me, mine and our)
- Personalize the piece and describe the problems that your product or service solves
- Use a call to action and include a deadline

When performing a search using the business data file, you can narrow down the result of your search by classifying the records according to business type. Information is divided into the following sections: You can narrow down a search by defining the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes. SIC Codes are four-digit numerical codes assigned by the U.S. government to business establishments to identify and classify businesses.
The first two digits of an SIC code identify the major industry group, the third digit identifies the industry group and the fourth digit identifies the industry. The industry may be broken down further into 5 to 8-digit codes to define its specific segments. Note that the lesser the number of digits, the more general the code’s scope is. More refined codes contain all the digits of more general codes plus a few digits.
