Has any used www.GoTanMail.com for sending out postcards to clients advertising biz.

What kind of success? Thoughts?

wow Susan, They look cute and you can't beat the price. They will save you a lot of work also. Good info thanks.

I thought that they looked very nice...but I am not so sure about sending my client list to a company for mailing...

No spam intended...NJTANMAN but Grip's got their pricing and service beat easily by a whopping 25%!

Gotprint.com prices for 5,000 jumbo postcards full color are $748 printing + $195 design + $189 mail fulfillment = $1132 total. Grip does it all for just $850 with superior design and service.

In addition, Grip has a Marketing Alliance with CalTan, JA, Designer Skin and we are an ETS Premier Marketing Services Partner - there must be reasons why.

Last year we mailed over 15 million postcards for the tanning industry alone. Over 50% of the Top 250 salons do biz with us. You might want to find out why.

When you send your client list to any reputable company to do a mailing you can feel safe that your list is used only to produce your mailings. You can easily "seed" your list with an address (your home address with a ficticious name) and find out if anyone is using your list. Any reputable company would be out of business pretty fast.

After all, we have a reputation to maintain.[ This Message was edited by: gripmarketing on 2004-03-02 18:47 ]

Susan, I checked out the three mentioned here so far and I like the one you were interested the best. What an easy website to use and the prices seem great. I will probably be using them soon. Thanks for the question, it turned into good info.

Susan, yes I have used www.gotanmail.com twice. They researched and bought my mailing list for me. I just opened at the beginning of January, so I bought a list that was a 3 mile radius and was women age 16 to 40. I have mailed to it twice so far. I have been extremely happy with the service and I highly recommend them. They have been very prompt, friendly, and effective. Feel free to ask me any questions.

What about returns? How many people have you had come in with the cards that were not customers prior to receiving the cards?

BronzeBiz · 03-03-2004, 10:44 PM

Well, I really didn't have any customers before since I just opened. But I sent out my second mailer prior to Valentine's Day. We got a 1% return which is about what I expected. You must have an offer on the back of the card that makes people want to come in. It takes many people 6-8 times of seeing you before it clicks.
