The more niche your product, the better our results. For example, ad generic pizza for everyone in the neighborhood probably yield less than 1%. An advertisement for a continuing education class that is sent only to estate agents estate license (which are required by law to take classes year) are likely to yield 20% +

Breaking Up America: Advertisers and the New Media World $10.64 This book is about the way the advertising industry has been fragmenting America and what that may mean for the media and society. The advertiser's aim has been to package individuals, or groups of people, in ways that make them useful targets. But the ad industry's vision of America is one of a fractured population of self-indulgent, suspicious individuals who reach out only to people like themselves, and the ads it creates both reflect and promote this view. Combining shrewd analysis of contemporary practices with a historical perspective, Turow traces the momentous shift that began in the mid-1970s when advertisers rejected mass marketing in favor of ever more aggressive target marketing. It is a strategy that includes all marketing vehicles, from cable TV to catalogs, direct mail to radio, newspapers to supermarket promotions. Turow shows how advertisers exploit differences between consumers based on income, age, gender, race, marital status, ethnicity, and lifestyles. With increased technology, advertising can easily enter individuals' private spaces - their homes, cars, and offices - with news, entertainment, and commercial messages aimed specifically at them. As the major support system of American media, the ad industry has encouraged market segmentation and the creation of customized media. Ultimately, Turow predicts this trend will cause an erosion of tolerance and cooperation within U.S. society. |

Direct Mail Marketing Companies
I am about to start a corporate training seminar company, and would like to get some advice on marketing?
Can you guys please tell me if I should contact the HR departments at local corporations or someone else within those companies?
Also should I try radio, television, and newspaper advertising or just stick with direct mail?
Thanks!
When you call a company, ask for who is in charge of training. I would stick to direct mail to start. Radio & TV are very expensive. There are business newspapers that may work. For any advertising, it requires repetitive mailings or ad. The rule of thumb is at least three consecutive contacts or ads to get started.
It is real hard work in the beginning but it will get easier.
Good Luck
