Below are six simple, practical plans that will enable you to start
and build your own money making mail order business. These plan have
made money for others, and they will make money for you - If you will
REALLY work at them!
PLAN #1 - SELL BIG MAILS. The easiest way to start selling by mail
is to advertise and sell "Big Mails". To get started, co-publish at
least three Mail Order Magazines and several ad sheets. Use an ad
like this:
BIG MAIL - $1.00 - Commission Mailed Free!
(Your Name and Address)
When someone sends you $1.00, send him one copy of each magazine,
one copy of each ad sheet, and one copy of every commission circular
that you have in stock. If you advertise regularly, and fill each
order by return mail, you will soon by selling ads and subscriptions,
as well as merchandise offered on the commission circulars. You can
expand by regularly adding to your list of magazines and ad sheets.
There are some dealers who advertise in more than 100 Mail Order Magazines
every issue. If you are willing to work, you can do the same thing!
PLAN #2 - SELL DIRECTLY FROM ADS. If you are selling merchandise
which is used by Mail dealers and Opportunity seekers, such as rubber
stamps, information directories, envelopes, labels, mail order manuals,
sample copies of opportunity magazines, etc., you can make money selling
them directly from ads in the Mail Order Magazines. If you buy the
merchandise in quantity, you can ship orders directly to your customers
yourself. Otherwise, you can use the drop-ship method.
To be successful, you must schedule REGULAR FOLLOW-UP MAILINGS to
your customers offering more of the same merchandise or items that
are closely related to it. Do this consistently, month after month,
and you will be amazed at the number of checks you will have to deposit
in your bank account!
PLAN #3 - MAKE SALES THROUGH CIRCULAR MAILERS. If you have a good
offer - one which really appeals to opportunity seekers - have your
printer set up an attractive 3 x 6 circular and then pay circular mailers
to mail them for you. Your circular will only pull if it offers somethings
that mail dealers and opportunity seekers want and need.
Ideally, 3 x 6 circulars distributed by circular mailers should
offer "leader items", items which are appealing, useful and priced
right (never more than a dollar or two+even less if possible). The
purpose of the circular is to attract new, steady customers for your
mailing list.
You should plan to make regular mailings to each person who purchases
your leader item. It is the REPEAT business which makes Mail Order
Profitable.
If you send 200 circulars to mailers every day for thirty days,
you will have 6,000 circulars in the mail at the end of the month.
If you send 500 a day, you will have 15,000 circulars in the mail at
the end of the month! There are mail dealers who rely entirely on
circular mailers to find new customers for them. Some of them distribute
as many as 100,000 circulars every month!
PLAN #4 - SELLING THROUGH COMMISSION MAILERS. This plan is similar
to Plan #3 except that you do not pay mailers to mail your circulars.
Instead, you print a good commission ad on the backs of your circulars,
leaving a blank space for the commission mailer to rubber stamp his
name and address.
The mailer stamps his name on them and includes them in his mailings.
When he receives an order for them, he keeps about half of the money
as his commission and sends you the other half to drop-ship his order
for him. You will probably make a small profit from his sales, but
your real profits come from the circulars which he is mailing at no
cost to you. This method is a little more complicated than Plan #3,
since you have to stock merchandise and fill drop-ship orders - but
in the long run, it is cheaper than paying mailers to mail your circulars.
You can give your circulars away free, you can ask mailers to pay
their postage for them, or you can run ads in the Mail Order Magazines
like this:
COMMISSION CIRCULARS!
100 - $1; 500 - $3
We drop-ship for half.
There are literally hundreds of people looking for good commission
circulars. This can be a very effective way of building up a very
prosperous Mail Order Business - if you have the stamina to work at
it!
