P.S. We are a Marketing Company, not a direct mail print house. Therefore direct mail is only 1 service offered. Move along...

Ask around about my marketing skills Dude! Your comment was profoundly ignorant.

But lets stick to things even you will agree are facts!

Why dont you have pricing on your website? How much do you charge to mail a postcard? There are important questions! why wont you answer them on this forum!

No need to. My pricing is public, you are just blind.

Re: when should i do direct mail?

then put a link out here for us blind people. Its a simple question.

Please answer the following questions for your potential customers:

1) Do you do the US drops or some other US company?
2) Do you do the actually printing or are you broker?
3) How many employees do you have?

Re: when should i do direct mail?

I have made far more with one text message and in some cases even one FB posting than I have with mailing 5,000 postcards.

Text cost me $79 per month and always brings in thousands of $$ every month. FB is or has been free and has also brought in thousands each month. I should add that email also brings in thousands each month and only costs $35 per month.

Postcards cost thousands and brought in enough to pay for the postcards. Meaning we got nothing from postcards.

Other forms of print ads did far worse, $400 for a newspaper ad that brought in $20. :(

These are just my results, I do feel that print just doesn't make sense any longer.

Other positives to digital is you can control the timing. We just got hit by a big rain storm this past week, no ad would bring people out in that weather.

A friend that owns a few gyms back east spent over $100k for some tv, radio and print to hit all right after New Years, that's busy season for gyms. They got snowed in that week and his ads were wasted because they had to be scheduled a head of time.

I can do email, text, FB etc on the fly or change my mind if something bad might keep people from going out on a given day/week.

We both understand tech and how it can be applied to make us more money.

Some of the tech innovations you're making are going to give your chain an advantage over some of the other chains if they don't start catching up soon.
