Marketing Services

Dollar-for-dollar, when it comes to marketing, nothing gives you a better return on investment than direct mail — regardless of the product or service you sell.

Think about it. A sales letter is like the most valuable employee you could ever hire. Day after day, it delivers your best sales message perfectly — every time.

It never calls in sick. Never takes a day off. And it never quits on you. Really, a powerful sales letter is like having a little oil well in your backyard, pumping out money for you, day and night.

BUT, in order to make direct mail work for you, you’ll need to get a lot of things right, such as:

Developing the right strategy
Selecting responsive mailing lists
Writing copy that sells
Making sure your mail file is processed correctly, and of course . . .
Tracking the details of the campaign so you know exactly what works and what doesn’t!

Simpson Direct offers 5 services that can help you make direct mail a HUGE success for your business.

We work with a select group of private clients to help them acquire new leads, convert leads into customers, and develop backend customer retention paths to keep them coming back.

Private Client | New Campaigns

FA_Rocket-Red Direct mail can target your prospects better than ANY other advertising medium. It allows you to aim your message directly at specific groups of buyers who fit the profile of your current and past customers. When direct mail is done right, you’ll see lucrative results on any size mailing – from a few hundred pieces to over a million.

Whether you want to increase the profitability of your current mailings, or if this is your first venture into direct mail marketing, Simpson Direct will bring the experience to make sure it’s done right. We send over 250 mailings every year, so we know exactly what works and what doesn’t.

Here’s what we can do for you:

Develop your ideal strategy, based on 20 years of direct-mail experience.
Analyze your past and current marketing efforts, to best capture low-hanging fruit. What’s working? What’s not?

Direct-Mail Monthly Coaching

FA_LightBulb-Red Thanks to today’s amazing technologies, Craig is able to offer an unprecedented level of real-time, personal interaction, attention, and guidance to a select group of businesses. This is your chance to receive personalized feedback AND benefit from a group of like-minded, business-oriented individuals working with you through the entire process.

As your personal direct mail marketing coach, Craig can:

Consult with you during a weekly 60-minute group phone call. You’ll plan your direct-mail projects together, and then you will update the group on the progress of each phase. You will receive ongoing guidance, feedback, and suggestions.
Record each call and provide a copy of the recording. That way, you can focus 100% on the call without taking notes. You will have the recording whenever you need it…indefinitely.
Provide samples of the sales pieces he’s mailing each month. These will be REAL direct mail pieces. You will see what works and why it works in real time.
Give you access to Craig’s Rolodex (names of the best in the business gathered over many years). Craig will make invaluable introductions between you and the best vendors in the industry.
Give you specific input on your sales copy, mailing list research, lifetime customer value, vendors, and anything else related to your Direct Mail Marketing.
Give you access to his personal e-mail. If your question is an easy one he’ll answer right away. Otherwise, he’ll dedicate time to thoroughly research it for your next call.
You’ll also receive Mailbag Millionaire Newsletter. Every month the current issue will show-up in your mail box.
This program takes commitment, just like your business. For those especially committed, there is a special bonus. If you remain in the Platinum Group Coaching for SIX MONTHS you will be invited to our exclusive Annual Live Platinum Mastermind Meeting.

One-On-One Consulting

If you had your business put under a microscope and analyzed in detail, you might find that you are missing out on huge opportunities that are currently hidden from you. Sometimes it takes an outsider with an expert eye to take a fresh look at your operation and find areas where you are failing to maximize your profit potential.

During your consulting appointment Craig can:

Look deep into your marketing program to uncover places where you could do things better to improve your results, and suggest whole new areas of opportunity you may never have considered.

He’ll evaluate your past marketing campaigns, and help you plan your next moves. Craig can focus on just one area, such as increasing the lifetime value of your customers, or he can cover a range of areas tailored to your individual needs.

Your one-day session is GUARANTEED to reveal areas where you can increase your profits. If you are not fully satisfied in any way, and don’t feel that you received at least 10 times the value, then you will receive a FULL refund!
