Email Marketing

Which do you think works better in bringing in new customers to our deli. Sending out direct mailing postcards or going around to businesses in person and giving them a menu and postcard in person. Also, what do you think is the best day to go out marketing that would get the best response for people to try our deli for lunch or catering. Thank you!

Hello,

Do you think that direct mail marketing to new residents in the community is effective in getting customers to come to our food establishment? We would like to try a company like movingtargets.com. Have you heard of them? Thank you!

I will interview with a successful direct mail marketing company looking for an Advertising Salesperson tomorrow…Any good words of wisdom?
I think asking for tips from others is an excellent way to improve my ability to impress an interviewer
I have a B.S. in Mass Communications with an emphasis in advertising. I am fresh out of college, have excellent references from my professors but no outside sales experience. I have worked at my campus’ bookstore (sales associate/receiving) and at a hotel front desk.
The company is very successful. I look forward to receiving their mailings because they are packed with coupons for restaurants, hotels, etc. They have expanded all over two states (starting from a small market.)

Does anyone have info on what might the response rate be on cooperative coupon direct mail marketing such as Money Mailer of ValPak for a food establishment, i.e. sandwich shop, catering, etc. Also, is giving away something Free or $5.00 off something a good marketing tip. Would the Visa/MC logo on my coupon increase response rate? Thanks so much for you time and help.

Looking for direct mail marketing pieces, cant seem to locate a company or writing who can design these for me, there are plenty of companies on the net but they only deal with dealerships owners or managers, I am a salemen seeking to boost my business.

I am looking for idea’s from people that actually have worked with a printing company for business cards or direct mail marketing campaigns.

For example, would you rather get an email offering you a product, or an offer from the US Postal Service? It seems today there are so many more options on the internet to shop, it might be wiser to go ahead and open the email ad-types, as long as they DO NOT have attachments…all of us know to watch out for strange emails with attachments…they could have viruses. I am trying out my own internet business and could use feedback regarding newsletters, for instance about my site called: Special Home Products.
Do me a big favor in the meantime, and check it out…any suggestions or comments on it would be appreciated!
OK, like the responses I am getting, but still unsure which would be the best to use to promote a new business….let me hear from some more of you out there!

I have a writing and editing services company, and we currently have $4500 of our operating budget. We are planning to do direct mail marketing, advertisements in trade journals, and online marketing (pay-per-click, e-newsletters, etc). How much of my marketing budget should I allocate for online marketing?
