Good news for direct mail
In a recent
study done by the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School it was discovered that people are happier after they spend money on other people. This could be as little as $5.00.
Now as I see it, the best thing to do would be to integrate this information into all direct mail offers both for consumer and non profit appeals.
"Buy this item as a gift... it will make you feel better" or "Donate $10 and feel good. Donate $25 and feel great".
A good creative copywriter could do wonders for your next mailing.
PS: Tip of the hat to Chelsea for the great link.

Speaking your prospects language

There was an
article in this week's issue of
DM News about conversational copy. Author Bob
Bly gave a few great tips about how to produce copy that speaks clearly and in a tone your audience can relate to. It reminds me of some food for thought I picked up from a recent seminar: "Do onto others as
they would want done to them."
PS: I'm loving
DM News' redesign!
