HOW TO GET FREE ADS
There are many editors of mail order magazines and ad sheets who will print your ads free if you will mail 100 to 200 copies of their publication. Here is a very effective way to get them to run YOUR ads:
Take a sheet of white typing paper. Type the following words on it.
PRINTERS PUBLISHERS: If you will print any of these ads in your publication, I will mail 100 copies for you FREE! (With co-publishing rights, I'll mail 200 copies!) Note that all of these ads are camera ready for your convenience.
Then use a rubber-cement to paste copies of ALL YOUR DIFFERENT ADS on the sheet! (If your ads have been printed on colored paper, bleach them before you paste them up. Pour a little clorox over them, until the color disappears. Rinse them in water, and dry them on a piece of flat cardboard.)
Once your circular is pasted up (camera-ready), take it to your local instant photo offset printer and have 500 or 1000 copies printed on WHITE paper. (Be sure its on white paper.) Enclose one of these circulars in every mailing. You'll be amazed at the results!
WHERE TO GET GOOD MAILING LISTS FREE
If you advertise regularly, you will get a lot of response to your ads. But if you will do a little specialized direct mailing, you can double your business almost immediately. Here's how:
Imagine that you have just received your mailing copies of TIMELY TIPS from the printer. If you look at your self, you discover that you still have 14 of lasts month's issue left to mail. Sit down and make up 14 SPECIALIZED mailings. In each mailing, enclosed:
1. One copy of last month's TIMELY TIPS 2. One copy of each circular you have been paid to mail. 3. One copy of your new FREE MAILING FOR FREE ADVERTISING circular.
To whom do you mail them? COMPILE YOUR MAILING LIST FROM THOSE BIG MAILS YOU HAVE BEEN ORDERING EVERY DAY! Mail them too:
* CIRCULAR MAILING PROSPECTS--Each time you receive Big Mail, examine all the circulars. Who has paid the dealer to mail circulars for them? If they have paid him, THEY WILL ALSO PAY YOU...if you will take the time to send them a sample mailing!
* NEW AD-SHEETS AND MAIL ORDER MAGAZINES--Whenever you see the announcement of a new publication, send a sample mailing and be sure to enclose your Free Mailing for Free Advertising circular. You'll get many, many free ads, if you work at it.
* NEW MAIL ORDER ADVERTISERS--Save the names of new advertisers in the mail order magazines or ad-sheets. You'll be amazed at how responsive they will be to your mailings!
Every time you receive new mailing copies, mail out the remaining copies of last month's issues to the categories listed above and your mail order business will grow faster than you ever dreamed it could. You'll be surprised at the new business you will be able to generate using this method.
