Direct Mail Response Devices and How to Craft Them
Successful direct mail packages contain three things: an attractive offer, a call to action, and a response device. The offer is the Incentive. The call to action is the Imperative. And the response device is the Instrument. The most well-known reply device is the business reply card. But today it could also be a landing page on a website. To make sure your mailing generates the kind of response you want-and the kind of sales you want-you must have a reply device that is clear, complete, compelling and convenient. Clear Complete Compelling Convenient Alan is a business-to-business direct mail copywriter and lead generation consultant. As President of Sharpe Copy Inc.
