Advertising through direct mail coupon packages - tanTALK

sunchick7 · 01-12-2005, 02:44 PM

Has anyone done the direct mail advertising where your business is in with a bunch of others...I think they are called American Town Shopper, or something?
If so what kind of a response did you get & what kind of coupons did you offer? Also what did it cost you?
Thanks for any help, I am looking into doing one.

Don't go there....

Could you elaborate?

"Search" feature is on the top right.

Maybe I'm not doing it right but everything I pull up from search is on direct mailouts from the salon itself...I found 1 post about this & about 3 people responded in 2002. I was just hoping that someone who has done it before could say if it was a success or not.

It depends on why you are advertising. I signed up for a "ValPak" which is one of many. I am tied into a 6 month deal...It cost $350 every 2 months...I've gotten 4 responses from the mailer...I've gotten more responses from taping them to my store windows and letting people tear them off.
Save your money! Mine your Database! I wished I had that money back so many times!
