If you run a non-profit business then perhaps you should try direct marketing and direct-mail to get volunteers and increase donations to your non-profit. Direct-mail and direct marketing does not just work for businesses, as it is a way to catch people in their homes who read direct-mail and direct marketing packages.

Some people think that direct mail and direct marketing are mostly for local small businesses in the area to send out to high net worth individuals in specific demographics within target areas of zipcodes. It is true that direct-mail and direct marketing packages do work well for many types of small businesses in both the service sector and the retail sector. But direct marketing and direct-mail is not just for businesses, as it works very well for public announcements of water conservation or other important issues and it has been used by politicians and government agencies for years.

I recommend that if you run a non-profit group that you consider direct-mail or direct marketing mail outs to promote to your endeavors. It is not easy staying up on the needed funds that nonprofits must have to survive. It is not easy recruiting volunteers, which will work very hard in your organization. Direct-mail and direct marketing can help you achieve your goals. I hope you will consider this in 2006.
