Following on from my last article, here are some more ideas to get that bulge in the envelope.
Send some headache tablets. The headline could be:
Are manufacturing delays giving you a headache? The first way to cure your headache is to take these, the second is to…
You could enclose a tea or coffee bag. Headline:
Make yourself a cup of coffee, sit down and take a moment to read this letter.
You could perhaps try a scratchy or a lottery ticket.
There are 2 ways you can make big money – here is one, let me tell you about the other.
Or
See, already your luck has changed
Maybe you could send a computer chip.
This tiny chip is a microprocessor capable of handling thousand of transactions accurately every 30 seconds.
Don’t you wish you could get your staff to do that?
Well there are a million things you could try. My favourite is a bar of soap. You know those small bars of soap you can steal or borrow or buy from a motel? And my headline for that is…
You don’t know me from a bar of soap, so here is the soap
And the letter goes on and says…
Now you don’t know me from a bar of soap so here is the soap. I’m taller than the soap and I think I smell better. Let me explain why I am writing to you.
Golly do you reckon that works for me? Of course it does.
If you want a comprehensive guide to making seminars work for you, purchase Winston’s great audio program How to run successful seminars – the Magic of Seminar Selling. Get great results for any business through Seminars and Workshops for both old & new clients. Whatever your business, you can use seminar magic to cultivate clients… and make heaps of sales too!
Yep, what goes around …..
Snail mail is now memorable because it’s different.
Gotta love a bulging envelope – Aust. Post do because they can charge you more for it! I’ve used the teabags( 20yrs ago when this concept was new).
Condoms, although in questionable taste, worked well.
“this new product is better than sex ….let me explain….”
Might even try that again now.
Love your work, Winnos ( ’cause you’e as old as me !)

Thanks Eddie and my favourite is the bar of soap in the envelope when prospecting and the letter starts “Now you dont know me from a bar of soap so here is the soap…”
