Do it right.

I receive postcards all the time. The other day I received a postcard trying to sell a photocopier. He had the letters tiny, tiny smeared across the front and a large part of the back of the card.It was extremely difficult to read, so difficult in fact that he threw.

Several days later I received a postcard with 32 words that told me I could get complete information about the restriction of long distance telephony services from 5.5 cents per minute with no additional monthly fee by calling the 800 number I called the Cardinal. Information I had my doubts and ordered my long distance service changed.

The company that does the long distance service using a testing time 2-step sales process:

Step Building a lead of 1 -. Get me to call your 800 number.

Step 2. Provide the information requested – Always phone to me by one of its sales representatives, which was able to answer my questions and I feel confident it could save some money my account long distance and that the service would be as good or better.

What's good in 2 steps?

It is much easier to create interest (a lead) than it is to get a person through an entire buying process (a sale).

Not getting the prospectus or existing customer to part with money yet.

You can use postcards to promote their economic prospects and target customers and generate customer potential (queries about their products and services) and then be monitored and converted to sales.
