How to Design a Direct Mail Package for Response

There's a lot of discussions posted in Entrepreneur's forums about marketing your business. It is important to remember that there are no magic formulas or "one-size-fits-all" approaches to advertising and marketing. Before you buy into a pitch from marketers in forums, blogs, and unsolicited emails remember one thing: they are using direct marketing strategies of their own to get you to hire them (or buy their marketing products).

Does direct marketing work? Well, yes, it can. But it is expensive and takes a clever marketer to make it worthwhile. Before you hire someone to develop a marketing campaign for you (and, unless you have a background in marketing you really should consider hiring a professional to help you with most types of direct marketing), be sure that you fully understand the methods, costs, pros and cons. If you are not an educated consumer you could fall prey to someone elses' marketing tactics!
