Direct mail advertising creates an opportunity for mortgage brokers and loan modification companies to increase revenues and at the same time help stem the foreclosure crisis by assisting homeowners that are struggling with their mortgage. Most of these homeowners have been rejected by lenders when requesting home refinancing options, but these same lending companies are negotiating mortgage rates and extending loan modifications from their loss mitigation divisions.

Follow these three steps to launch your successful direct mail campaign:

1. Pick Your Target Audience
If you don’t target the right market, you’re wasting your time. Target people that will most likely have an interest in the product or service you offer. Look for people who have bought products or services similar to yours in the last 3, 6 or even 12 months. But, don’t limit yourself to new clients. You may have a new product or service that some of your existing clients would like. In short, the objective is to target people who have things in common with people who have bought your product or one similar to yours (e.g., age, sex, occupation, income, geographic area, family size, etc.).

2. Get Good Mailing Data and Choose the Mailing List
Pull the data on your target market and choose the mailing list that best matches your criteria:

o In-house list of customers and prospects (people who have inquired but not bought).

o Compiled list of people or businesses from published sources, such as industry directories or Yellow Pages.

o Responses list of proven direct mail buyers who have purchased a product similar to yours and in the same price range.

o Attendee/Membership/Seminar list of people that attended a specific trade show or industry event, belonged to an industry association or paid for seminar participation.

o Subscription lists of controlled and paid circulation subscribers. Controlled subscription lists typically offer more information about the subscriber from which you could possibly select specific characteristics.

o Credit card holder list, which can be useful if the prospects can respond to your offer with a credit card.

o Merged Database Lists that eliminates duplicate names and offers the remaining names as a single master unduplicated list.

3. Create a Mail Piece Making an Offer
Now, it’s time to match your offer as closely as possible to the needs, interests and motivation of the people on your mailing list. Make sure your offer matches your market. Otherwise, your offer won’t be perceived as having any value and no one will be enticed to buy into your service. Then, create your direct mail piece.

For copywriting ideas, save your “junk” mail and look through magazines to which you subscribe. You’ll find material written by some of the best copywriters in your industry. Pay particular attention to the headlines. Once you have your headline written, make a list of all the objections your prospect could have for not buying your product or service and then answer them in your piece.

Kelly Media Group recently announced an alliance with Direct Mail Advertising Buzz. We chose to partner with KMG because they have the marketing technology and the facilities to accomplish these marketing strategies all at the same location.

What are the keys to raising money for your cause? Will the conversion rate of man hours versus cost of production versus profitability be worth the while? The answer to these and many of your questions can be done with a simple conversion chart. In this chart you will include; the campaigns in your network, the base commission and commission type; the payment method, the threshold and frequency in order to get your real-time statistics.

Since half of all Internet users send or check their e-mail on a daily basis, advertisers can generate repeat customers not only automatically, but very affordably as well. If you were to compare direct mail or printed newsletters, you would easily find that there is virtually no cost with e-mail in comparison. The delivery time itself is calculated in seconds or minutes, versus days with snail mail. Another value in this type of advertising is that it is the paper free, which of course means “green friendly.”

The basic values of good customer to business relation can be summed up in communication or lack thereof. Since a good e-mail system with alerts, feedback, and any relevant communication to the donating peoples is of critical importance, your database will need to be up-to-date on all people that are involved in the transaction. There is software out there for you to maintain the strategies.

Direct Mail Advertising Buzz is a Kelly Media Group company that was founded in an effort to provide superior direct mail marketing solutions that improve the bottom line for business’s and non-profit organizations.

According to a recent study by the Direct Marketing Association, and as reported in DIRECT, e-mail marketing delivers the highest return on investment (ROI) of all media available to marketers. The study also indicates that e-mail driven sales in the United States are projected to show a compound annual growth rate of 14.9% between 2006 and 2011 as opposed to direct mail sales that are only projected to show a compound annual growth rate of 6.3% during the same time period.

The cost-per-lead for e-mail marketing campaigns is much lower and the conversion rates are typically much higher than for direct mail marketing campaigns. E-mail permits response within the same medium. All the reader has to do is click a link in the e-mail message to respond. With direct mail, recipients must respond to the offer through a different medium (e.g., the telephone, fax or a different mail piece). E-mail is fast, it’s more targeted and flexible and it’s a great testing medium for advertising, information gathering, up-selling and cross-selling–you can nearly instantaneous results to your marketing questions.

Opt-in e-mail campaigns (also known as permission-based e-mail) are a more effective way to generate leads than opt-in direct mail because consumers can respond faster to offers presented in e-mail campaigns. E-mail is also more effective at fostering on-going relationships with existing customers to build customer loyalty and alert customers to new products or services, special promotions or discounts as well as for soliciting feedback from customers with surveys & questionnaires. E-mails can also be more easily customized according to online and offline customer purchasing patterns.

Direct mail advertising remains a proven marketing strategy that has been tested time and time again by all types of companies and vertical markets.
