Default Sales Letter - Have u received one b4? - 07-01-2006, 01:05 PM

Hi guys,

I am just curious. How many of you have received a sales letter in your mailbox before?

For me, I receive more brochures and pamphlets than sales letter... even so, sales letter are rare in my mailbox I would say near "extinction"

Anyone has anything to say about this?

I get them almost every day. You probably haven't seeded yourself on the right lists. Go buy something (e.g., a newsletters subscription) from one of the major financial mailers (Weiss, Agora) or health mailers (Healthy Directions, Agora) and you'll soon be flooded with them daily. One month's worth of junk mail fills a large empty milk crate for me, and I would guess off the top of my head that about 1/3 of that volume comes from sales letters.

Also, if you seed yourself properly
you'll get a ton of magalogs. They
are quite common with major mailers
and worth studying with a microscope.

But to answer your question directly,
I think I get at least one letter per day.
Or darn near close to it.
