. * Remember the 40-40-20 rule for using direct mail. It breaks your success in three ways: 40% of you success is using the right list, another 40% is having the right offer, and 20% is everything else (copy, format, graphics, paper, etc.). * In advertising it is better to offer a Free Bonus than to offer a discount. * Direct mail advertising statistics show that mail delivered on Saturdays and Mondays get the poorest response. Best days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday-and in that order. * Use testimonials in your ad and put them before the call to action and after the details about your widget. * "Buy 1 get 1 FREE" always out-pulls "2 for the price of 1".

• Rule #2: See Rule #1 * Ad copy type-set in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is harder to read than all lowercase of Mixed Case. * Repeat your offer and guarantee on your order form. * Whenever possible, give your customers an extra added and unexpected bonus or gift along with the order to show your appreciation. * There are only three ways to grow your business: (1) increase the number of customers; (2) increase your average dollars per sale; (3) increase the frequency you do business with your customer. Always remember, 'turn-over may feed your ego, but it won't feed your family." * The more you treat your clients as friends, the more likely they'll talk about you and do more business with you. * Don't ever let a Holiday come and go without offering your current customers a special deal in an ad. Use the event as the "hook" for the ad, and if you research the subject you'll find there's a holiday of some sort almost every month. Not just the big ones like Valentine's Day or Easter, but use one's like Groundhog's Day, National Dairy Month, Boy Scout's Week, or whatever you can work into your product line.
