I Got A .002% Response Rate, I’m Very Happy and You Would Be Too!

Good Morning  

A few weeks ago I mailed out 889 post card promoting my printing and mailing services. So far I have gotten 2 responses and I’m very happy.

You see, I don’t really care about response rates, and you shouldn’t either. Instead, I got better than a 3.5 to 1 return on investment,so far, and I’ll take that any day.

People get so hung up on response rates, but response rates don’t pay the bills.

Let me back up a bit. After someone receives your mailing piece, views your web page, hears your radio ad or sees any other media, reacts to it and contacts you — that contact is a response. This contact is usually asking for more information. Sometimes it’s a request to never contact them again. Now you have to convert that contact into a sale. Sometimes a high response rate does not equate to a high number of sales or if it does, it does not equal a great Return On Investment.

By focusing on ROI, you get a truer picture of how well your marketing is working.

That’s all for now!
