Todd,

It’s great that you brought direct mail up. It should be every new business director’s weapon. Do you know who built one of largest advertising agencies using direct-response advertising? David Ogilvy. 

My experience has been profitable using direct mail in the ad agency new business process. In the digital world, who sends personalized letters and handwritten notes? Not too many of your competitors.

Testing and knowledge are two important – and forgotten – factors in marketing. I’ve been writing about the future of direct marketing in my blog www.timojappinen.com over 60 articles by now.  Don’t take my word for it, try it yourself.

Best,

Timo

And the best part is the simplicity in your posts and the language you use in them. I have added you to my favorites. And I will continue to pay frequent visits to your blog. Expecting more such quality stuff from you. Carry on !
