 Direct Mail Advertising - What it Teaches

The most severe test of the advertising company is delivering direct results by mail. The cost and results for direct mail are immediately apparent. Companies are able to justify their advertising dollars immediately and monitor their profitability. Simply put - you can tell if your advertising worked or did not work. This puts the advertising company on their mettle. All guesswork is eliminated. Every mistake is conspicuous. One quickly loses his conceit by learning how often his judgment errs, often nine times in ten. 

Here you learn that advertising must be done on a scientific basis to have any fair chance at success. You also learn how every dollar adds to the cost of results. This is where a successful advertising company maintains and applies the same principles and keys to all advertising, in order to assure optimum effectiveness & efficiencies.
 
Throughout the years, the successful fundamental selling elements incorporated into the advertising message have not changed much at all. The tonality of how the advertising message is created, and delivered is constantly being updated, but the core - proven - key principles have proven time and time again to be the most effective. 
 
Several of the leading companies in the World continue to run the same successful advertising campaigns for decades, only changing the tonality, and bringing the creative up to date to meet current styles, etc. Some of the leading Advertising companies have tried to alter and change the proven - successful - key principles, but have always fallen short of the overall results. An example of this would be incorporating more graphics than copy. Value minded shoppers continue to gravitate and respond more to content, substance, benefits & incentives, vs. photography and graphics, yet advertising companies continue to experiment with trying to conquer the successful direct response proven formula with a variety of different concepts they think will bring a better response.
 
Let's hope you are not one of these companies that they are experimenting with.
