Mail Order - The Only Business To Be In

Most entrepreneurs have, at some point, considered mail order and, indeed, it can be very lucrative. But there is a way of making it even more lucrative by restricting your operations to one of the most lucrative parts ever. Mailing out mail shots can be big business. A big business that can be yours if you decide to sell through the post in this fascinating way! A mailing business couldn't be simpler. All you do is select a suitable product - you can start with just one. Then produce an effective, high impact mailing to sell it. Post off the mailings and just wait for the orders to flood it! All the best of mail order without the frustration and difficulty of preparing press ads that general mail order dealers have. The sheer success of mailing is based on a simple unwritten law. Basically, you can find a minimum response rate for your product - in other words, a guarantee that so many mailings will produce so many orders. This way you can be virtually sure that if you mail so many circulars, you will make a set and firm amount of sheer profit! Mail order at it's best! The attraction of this branch of mail order is that you can often set your own income. Make so many mailings - get so much back! Mail order traders usually rate their response on a per thousand basis for comparison. Some good products sold by mailing have been known to sell 200 out of 1,000 - i.e. out of 1,000 circulars sent, 200 orders resulted. A huge profit! By comparison, a poor mailing might only make 10 sales per 1,000 - probably a loss. So, you are probably safe to best on 50 orders per 1,000 mailings. It may well be higher, but work on a mere 5% return, and you're sure to profit. Knowing what sort of response to expect can enable you to plan for profit. The amount you sell must cover all your costs - and profit - so set price levels accordingly. Usually higher priced products are best. Just imagine you have prepared a 1,000 mailing at an inclusive cost of about 3250. >From that you obtained 50 orders for a product at
