Millions of mail order catalogs





It is an average mailing list by a small mail order company

About a thousand in general, and many such operators

In rare cases, please mail more than a hundred works a week. If you know

Your conversion

When using a rental list with a name that is approximately 1% to 2%,

More than 5% when mailing to your own customer list.



With these numbers, the response rate will be about 2 orders

About 5-10 mails from 100 mails when using a cold list

Order when mailing to your own customer list for each 100

Piece mail.



Here are the major catalogs such as Mailinghouse Miles

Kimball, Hanover House, Lilian * Vernon, Johnson * Smith or L. L.

Bean, each of the people who may consider mailing six million

Every month or several months.



Catalog store here-amount

Not a mailer, but a manufacturer. Not a publisher. Mailer!



They buy what they sell from someone. It may be from you!





What are they looking for?



Own Catalog How-a sharp person by management

And they are very selective in the products they choose for

Because they are included in their catalog, your

Stiffness test when you need the product:



1. Some catalog companies specialize in certain types

Goods, they only choose what they think

The customer purchases



2. Virtually all of them want to put the product in the test market

(Perhaps only one hundred or so) before making a complete catalog

It's mail If the test shows a promise, they will buy a large

Quantity for their rollout mail (more than 1,000-5,000). ..

And as long as product continue to buy such quantity

I will continue to sell.



3. The catalog mailer wants to deal close to the original source

Whenever possible, inventor, patent owner, copyright etc.

Holder, manufacturer or publisher. The reason is simple

These are the people who can offer them the greatest discount

Purchase of quantity. If you are just one of many dealers

I had to buy the product from the wholesaler I bought from

Dealers who purchased products from the manufacturer,

You will not be in a position to offer you the lowest price

Catalog company.



4. Novelty to take it-something without originality

It has been around for many years. Naturally, it should be good

Mail order item.





How to qualify for acceptance



First of all, you have to look and act part of

Established, professionally operated business. You

Must have printed stationery with a matching company name

All the products you offer need to be addressed

The



If it seems stale and basic you will be surprised

Many companies receive scribbled handwritten notes

I ruled the paper with words such as "I want you to include me"

Products in your catalog. "Sorry, it doesn't work that way.



Even if you are not the actual inventor or manufacturer,

It is included because it sells the product, so it can be turned on

A large catalog of mailers that everyone can benefit from.

Imports, for example, are very popular catalog sellers, so if

Looking for new products from abroad, you can save money

US distributors. Yes, that means considerable investment

I have stocked but I believe that you are planning

Sell, it should be worth investing.



But before it comes to any catalog mailer, it becomes

-To test your best interests-Sell items yourself. you

Certainly do not want to provide "losers" in the main catalog

Mailer You want to make sure that this is what you sell,

So, everyone is happy with the contract. Probably more

Importantly, it combines the relationship with the catalog

The company and they are eager to do business with you

Next time come up with new products.





Product pricing



This is very important. A price that is too high means that it will not be

Accepted too low priced and make no profit-no

Sell.



Low price that specializes in catalog mailers

Others (but $ 10 or less) have their sales linked to the item

High bracket over $ 50. To create a catalog list

Homes to approach check the catalog for their price

Current product.



There are three basic levels of retail price:



1. Pre-set price by owner or manufacturer



2. Actual dollar value based on production cost



3. Perceived value by prospective buyers



If not a primary source for your product,

Manufacturers may already set retail prices with

Because you need to work,

These figures in any trade made at the catalog company.



Assuming that you have the pricing right (the original

Source, or you are the caller) You can set the retail price

According to the production cost which can be 1 to 5 or 10-1

ratio. If the item costs $ 1 to make, you can set the retail price

$ 5 or $ 10 on it, depending on what you think it is worth

consumer.





Simplify the price structure for companies



The most common price structures are usually various

Dozens or amounts like gross; or 100, 500, 1,000, etc. ♪ Don't ♪

Use catalog when trying to use these usage price structures

Company of your product. Give them those from the beginning

Bottom lowest possible price.



For example, if you have your usual price:



100@$4.50; 500@$3.75; 1000@$2.75 and 5,000 @ $ 1.95



How many people give them the price of your 5,000 quantities

Order for the original test. Even if they only wanted 100

Exam, priced at $ 1.95

This is your low price which is for regular 5,000 quantities

I know that they are doing a good deal.





Time promotion package



Company buyers are busy people, so you want to make your

Clear, clarify, and eliminate all presentations quickly

Cheap, and if you think it will impress the company.



"Tsutsu" "Tsu" "Tsu" bonds

You can answer that question, but here's a hint: just 10

It corresponds almost with 12. You

Request 50 to 100 or even 500 such shipments before you begin

View worthy results. Of course, many depend on the product

As such, limited to whether it is for the general public

More selective audience.



Wherever possible, try to determine the type of product

Each catalog house will be provided before sending. if

They only respond to men and your products are mainly used

Why waste time and money by women? Same thing

Low priced items such as $ 5 offered to catalog homes

Housing is not an operation cash and order type. that is

Customers after shipment were made. There are several
