Learn About The History Of Envelopes
July 2nd, 2009
Dominic Donaldson asked:
Envelopes as we know them were unheard of until the mid 19th century. Prior to this period envelopes were handmade or actually part of the letter. The letter would be folded in two and then a wax seal would be used. This involved a certain colour of wax being mantled onto the point where the paper meets and then a distinctive seal would be stamped into the molten wax.
The delivery of the folded letter with the wax seal unbroken would ensure that the letter had not been compromised, this was the first style of envelope. As time progressed handmade envelopes were commonplace and then in 1845 the first patent was passed for an envelope manufacturing machine. This revolutionised envelope production however the initial envelopes needed to be cut before being fed into the machine to form the rectangle design that would be sealed by a paste.
The British government then took monopoly control of the postal service and introduced the diamond design envelope and the first adhesive stamp, the Penny Black. The initial envelope was simply decorative wrapping and was a bit of a marketing gimmick with illustrations. These illustrations were not taken seriously and the line was recalled and remade with a different set of illustrations.
The usefulness of the wrapper, decorations aside was realised by the British public as they could put the letter into the envelope then affix a stamp meaning that the postage had already been paid, safe in the knowledge it would be delivered to the recipient. The diamond shaped wrapper spread across the globe and the foundations for the modern envelope as we know it were born.
The style of envelope has remained remarkably similar to the original diamond design and the major changes have been in the technical manufacture of envelopes. Modern designs have very specific requirements in most developed countries so machines are needed that can produce to these standards. As with most things there are international standard sizes and the American standard sizes.
With contemporary postage it is essential that not only the standard sizes of the envelopes are in place, but that the envelopes are formatted correctly with details. Due to the modern postal service using sorting machines the address details have to be entered in a standard place, in Russia they even provide boxes to write the relevant numbers in so that they are ensured to be read.
Envelopes have undergone mass changes over the years and they are still used for many diverse purposes. The aerogram is an extremely similar format to the older folded and sealed letter whilst the Japanese use decorative envelopes to make bereavement offerings at funerals. Envelopes are available from a wide variety of providers online and in a massive array of styles.

How to Measure your Direct Marketing Results
July 1st, 2009
Lynne Saarte asked:
If you want to measure your direct marketing results but you don’t know where to start, in today’s market, there are three most common ways to do it. Not only can you know which of your marketing campaigns really work to your advantage, but you also get to increase your sales in the process.
1 – Cost Per Acquisition
This is the first of the most common measuring tool to gauge the effectiveness of your marketing campaign such as your full color postcard printing. When we say cost per acquisition, it simply means the result of having your target clients respond to your postcard printing ad. You can determine this quantitatively by getting your total cost of mailing your, say, postcards, and then dividing that number by the amount of responses you have.
The cost per acquisition is very important as it helps you to determine whether getting new leads for your business is worth the costs it’s going to take to generate them.
2 – Cost Per Piece
The cost per piece is determined by taking your total cost of mailing your postcards or envelopes and then divide it by the number of pieces you actually sent out. This second measurement is very important to take note of because when you decrease your cost per piece, you also get to lessen your cost per acquisition. Provided however, that you have the same response rate for your print ad.
3 – Response Rate
The third is when you measure your response rate to your direct marketing campaign. You can easily calculate the result by getting the number of people who actually responded to your campaign and then dividing it with the number of people you sent the direct mail package to. The response rate measurement is very important as you can predict early on the success or failure of your direct marketing campaign, whether you choose full color postcard printing or envelope printing for that matter.
Before anything else, you need to understand that advertising is a science in addition to it being an art. When you employ direct marketing in your promotional campaign, you not only make it more scientific, you also get to quantify results making it easy for you to decide on the best marketing campaign to effect.
Use these three direct marketing measurements to your ads and see which of part of your advertising is wasted and which part can best help you to increase your profits.

Mail Fatality Rate
June 30th, 2009
Damian Lanfranchi asked:
How much do you know about Mail Fatality Rate? Well, you’re about to discover everything you need to know and the six simple steps that you can start to get a higher response rate for every marketing piece you send out. This is critical if you want to get motivated sellers, and get to these motivated sellers before the competition!
Best of all, I’m going to show you how to do it without adding to your cost or changing what they say. But first I need to make a confession, I’m a mail murderer. Yeah, that’s right, I’m a mail murderer. Every time I walk to the end of my driveway I get a big stack of mail. As I walk back to my house I tear up letters, rip up pieces of marketing material, postcards, without even looking at them. About 50% of my mail never even makes it into my house, never even gets read don’t judge me because you probably do the same thing. more importantly. So do your homeowners; the ones you want to make deals with. Yeah they’re doing the same thing. The letter you send out to them, yep it may be next. But I’m gonna show you how you can beat the mail fatality rate
DID SOMEONE SAY “MAIL MURDER”?
Well what is the mail fatality rate? You’ve seen all the statistics before about how many pieces of mail, solicited and unsolicited people receive every day. You know about it yourself every time you go to the mailbox and you have to rifle through all these advertisements you didn’t ask for just to get to the stuff you actually want. Americans get pounded mail. The mail fatality rate of how much mail actually gets destroyed before it even gets read. Letters that you send out to get to homeowners looking for motivated sellers are no different.
Now that’s a pretty frustrating thing to think about. You’ve written this great letter, with this great solution in there. You spent all this time to find this motivated seller and your letter gets destroyed before it even gets read. It’s so important it forms the top of what’s called your Real Estate Marketing Funnel. At the top this funnel is very wide representing how many people you attempt to contact. It gets narrower and narrower, representing how many people open it read it respond to it, set up an appointment and eventually a motivated seller signs a deal with you. That forms the funnel, where at the bottom drips out that deal. Up at the top, is the open rate, how much of the marketing stuff you send out that’s actually opened.
The more we can optimize this, the more that just like in a regular funnel, the bottom part is gonna pour out for you, and that means more deals.
A motivated home seller is getting pounded with past due notices on credit cards, and utility bills, threatening letters from mortgage companies. I’ve seen sometimes a hospital bill arrive in triple, quadruple in just one day. So you’re trying to and get a marketing message through to these homeowners who are getting even more junk mail than the average American. If you’re gonna get through to them you’re gonna have to beat the mail fatality rate.
ALL THAT JUNK
So what does junk mail look like?
From someone you don’t know: It’s a person or business you don’t recognize
Bulk Mail: It looks like something that was mass produced.
Cold & Impersonal: Form letters or electronic postage
Looks like other Junk: We all know what junk looks like. If your marketing message fits into that stereotype, you’re not getting past the garbage can!
Now that we understand what to look for we can start to overcome it with the six simple secrets to beating the mail fatality rate.
SECRETS TO BEAT IT
Envelope Size: Instead of the standard #10 envelope, try using the greeting card size. It greatly increases your odds of being opened.
Envelope Color: White is the color of death in this business. Bright colors draw the eye and pique curiosity. These usually come from friends or family, inviting you to events.
Stamp Choice: There are so many great choices at the post office nowadays, from Harley Davidson to Yoda. Pick a theme. Why would you go with the boring old stamp?
Center Address: Hand address the envelope. It draws the eye and it looks more personal.
Return Address: Stay away from address labels and always put a person’s name, not a business.
Personal Touch: This is the most important. A hand-written note on the front or back makes a huge difference. Even something simple like “For you, Bob” with a little smiley face would go a long way. It doesn’t take much time and it makes the presentation more personal. When it becomes personal, people are more inclined to respond.
PRIZE INSIDE
I want to introduce you to a higher technique when you’re using a marketing strategy to your homeowners, called “The Prize Inside” technique. It’s a great way to get motivated sellers! You put something in your envelope that it looks like a prize, something a little bulky, it a bit of a shape, maybe even a little weight to the letter you send out. This technique drastically improves how often your letters and your marketing pieces get opened. Pens and pencils don’t really work very good cuz you can feel them. Unless they want a free pen it still goes right in the trash. Tie it into your letter. I once got this spectacular marketing piece and inside of it there were a bunch of teeth on a string the headline of the letter was like “Hey Damian I feel like I’ve been trying to pull your teeth” That letter got read.
So, we’ve covered 6 simple secrets to overcoming the mail fatality rate; from the strategic way you choose your envelope size, your envelope color, the type of stamp you use, to not only how you address it to your sender but also the return address you use, and also putting on that personal touch. All these will have a huge impact in improving your open rate, which is gonna improve your response rate and all without increasing your cost or the amount of work you’re doing. That means less money spent, more motivated sellers, more deals and more dollars at the end of the day!

Use Templates for Lesser Design Headaches
June 29th, 2009
Lynne Saarte asked:
Hiring a designer to do your envelope printing design for you is not an easy thing to do. In fact, getting someone to do the job exactly the way you want them to, and add to that a limited budget to pay that designer, most often than not, you’ll get a huge headache over the process. Even before you could start with your envelope printing project, you most likely would want to stop abruptly.
When you get frustrated over trying to find the perfect designer to do quality envelope printing design, or you just don’t have the time to spend looking for one, why not consider using templates available in many websites?
When you download available envelope templates, you eliminate hassles like:
1. you don’t have to spend time anymore just looking for the designer to fit your requirements, and do something else that is more productive for your business;
2. you can do away with the expense of paying for an overpriced designer that you can’t afford on a limited budget;
3. you don’t need to fight with the designer to insist on what you want for your envelope printing project; and
4. you can come up with your very own customized envelope printing design, exactly the way you want it.
On the other hand, if you’re not even thinking of hiring someone, however you don’t have the confidence to develop a good design on your own, well then, free envelope templates can be the thing for you.
There are many websites nowadays that provide a wide range of envelope designs and layouts. All you have to do is choose a design that is right for your envelope printing project, input your specifications and dimensions, download from the website, then customize. It’s that easy.
Spending time means spending money. So your time is important. Free envelope templates available online can help you save your time, and eventually your money. It reduces your headache because all of the work is done in your computer, at the comforts of your own table, home, office, or wherever you are comfortably ensconced when you’re downloading your envelope template.
But as with any design project, the bottom line is to get something that will work for you and your business. Sure you can choose from as many free envelope templates that would fit your requirements, but the question should be: will your envelope printing design template work for you?
Whether you’re spending time and money to develop your envelope printing design or you get it for free, it all boils down to one important thing: your envelope design should work to gain you leverage from your competition and thereby increase your income. That’s the main goal. That’s the bottom line.

Martin Yale 1616 Electric Desktop Letter Opener Review
June 29th, 2009
Jeff McRitchie asked:
Overview:
The Martin Yale 1616 electric desktop letter opener is designed to help small to mid-sized businesses with lighter mail volumes.
It is designed to quickly and easily sit on your desk or the desk of the individual within your organization who deals with the mail as it arrives.
Using the Martin Yale 1616 electric letter opener you can greatly reduce the amount of time that is spent opening envelopes on a daily basis. This can free up you or your staff to focus on other more important tasks within your organization.
Strengths / Features:
The Martin Yale 1616 letter opener is designed to conveniently sit on your desk for easy access and use when mail arrives. It has four non skid rubber feet to keep it from moving and offers a compact and stylish design that should blend in with the other pieces of equipment in your office. It is small enough that it won’t get in the way when placed on your desk. In fact, it only measures 9.5″ x 7.5″ x 3.75″ in size.
The 1616 Electric desktop letter opener is designed to quickly and easily open envelopes as they are inserted into the machine. Although you have to feed the envelopes into the machine manually, after you insert the envelope into the machine, the 1616 does the rest. It activates the cutting blades, grabs the envelopes and cuts the envelope open.
The Martin Yale 1616 is quiet, safe and easy to operate. This makes it ideal for the typical office environment.
Weaknesses / Limitations:
The Martin Yale 1616 is a light volume office letter opener that is manually fed. This means that each letter needs to be fed into the machine one at a time. This makes it ideal for organizations that need to deal with up to one hundred letters per day. Organizations that deal with more mail than this may want to consider a larger more automated letter opening system.
The Martin Yale 1616 uses extremely sharp blades to cut off the top section of each envelope. If the items inside the envelopes are too close to the top they may be sliced during the opening process. For this reason, it is important to remember to jog your envelopes by tapping them on the table or a hard surface to make sure the items inside settle to the bottom. Organizations that own a paper jogging machine may want to consider jogging their envelopes before opening them in order to prevent damaging the contents during the opening process.
The Martin Yale 1616 letter opener is ideal for opening most standard sized business envelopes. However, overstuffed envelopes and extremely large letters may cause difficulties during opening. Thick envelopes and envelopes that have been damaged during mailing should be opened by hand and should not be run through the machine.
Recommendation:
The Martin Yale 1616 electric desktop letter opener is ideal for use in a small or medium sized organization where a single individual opens and distributes the mail.
Although this machine is not ideal for a large mail room, it will comfortably sit on an individual’s desk and is great for opening up to one hundred letters per day.
However, users who need to open more than one hundred envelopes per day or who are looking for a high productivity machine will be best served to look at one of Martin Yale’s auto feeding letter openers.

Thick envelopes and envelopes that have been damaged during mailing should be opened by hand and should not be run through the machine.
Recommendation:
The Martin Yale 1616 electric desktop letter opener is ideal for use in a small or medium sized organization where a single individual opens and distributes the mail.
Although this machine is not ideal for a large mail room, it will comfortably sit on an individual’s desk and is great for opening up to one hundred letters per day.
However, users who need to open more than one hundred envelopes per day or who are looking for a high productivity machine will be best served to look at one of Martin Yale’s auto feeding letter openers.

Greg Brown asked:
DotMailer has announced yet another important association to offer unique email marketing solution to their clients for better email marketing and communication. Now they can offer highly trusted Goodmail CertifiedEmail solution to their clients.
Tink Taylor, Business Development Director of dotMailer said that “By bolstering deliverability, the launch of CertifiedEmail, will ensure that legitimate senders can differentiate themselves in the inbox and that email marketing campaigns are not consigned to spam folders”. He also added, “By working with senders that can demonstrate compliance with best email practices, CertifiedEmail will help raise industry standards and enable companies to track the potential increases in ROI on emails that include this CertifiedEmail icon.”
Now, what is a Goodmail CertifiedEmail?
It is a premium delivery option for some qualified email senders who may affect the email marketing metric for good reasons. With this certification, you become the representative of a special, privileged and trusted class of sender and your email-marketing messages are welcomed by the participating Internet service Providers (ISP) with a special sign of trust – Blue Ribbon Envelope Icon.
The ISPs will offer you this privilege because your email is authentic and represents a verified sender. Alongside you get, assured delivery and reporting of your mail, all the images and links will remain intact, you have all the freedom to construct your mail and a blue ribbon icon as a sign of universal trust. Moreover, ISPs do not filter these mails.
Why this can add value to your email marketing exercises?
Most of the ISPs, these days are very strict about spam mails. If they get even the slightest hint, they may block your mail or mark it as a spam. In many cases, either the mail does not reach the intended person or the links and images are blocked. This necessarily obstructs your email marketing exercises at the very beginning. Moreover, experts say that this is never a good sign for the receiver as he or she may become suspicious even if you had worthy reasons for sending the mail.
How you can get this unique solution?
To get this accreditation from Goodmail, senders must fulfil some criterions and must be a commercial or verified non-profit entity with a private domain name, established safety and security policy among others. Otherwise, you can contact dotMailer in UK to move ahead in the process.

Open Me Now: Direct Mail Envelopes That Work . . . and Those That Don’t, Second Edition
If you’re a student of selling by mail, you may have wondered why “”experts”" write book after book and magazine article after magazine article about letters … and almost nothing about the envelopes housing those letters. The reason I do is one that becomes obvious the first time you create a brilliant, award-winning, irresistible direct mail campaign … and it bombs. “”What’s wrong with these people?”" we cry. “”This was aimed right at them. They need it. The price is right. The letter is loaded with dynamite, and we spent a ton of money taking pictures for the brochure. What happened?”" The question should be: “”What didn’t happen?”" If the message is aimed right at them and they need it and the price is right and the letter is loaded with dynamite and the pictures in the brochure are worthy of hanging in The Louvre, what’s missing? Where did we goof? The envelope. If they didn’t open the envelope, all that brilliance was reduced to a zero-watt intensity. The envelope is the greeter, separating us from everyone else…from all the other business mail driven by self-intensifying databases (the best prospect are the best targets and thus get the most mail and thus are harder to reach and even harder to convince). The envelope is the bellwether, molding the recipient’s attitude. It whispers, says, commands, or shouts to the person holding it, “”Open me now!”" What happens next can determine the fate not just of a mailing but of the organization behind it. And that’s why this book exists. Thanks for agreeing with my premise: If they don’t open the envelope, all the brilliance in every other component is reduced to a zero-watt intensity. Now, let’s get some megawatt envelopes into the mail!
