How to make money with your Co-Op Advertising Program

Apart from advertising, the biggest expense involved in selling by mail is postage. This means that virtually all stakeholders in order to post is looking for ways to save money to get their commercial offers to prospects. The answer is the co-op mailings.

Here's how a typical co-op postal service works: a person with something to sell via mail sees an ad inviting him or her to send them circulars or brochures to the co-op mailing service. The co-op mailing service receives these circulars or brochures, and assumes housewives or handicapped people to fold and stuff them in envelopes and then mail them. For this service, they charge anywhere from $ 10 to $ 100 per thousand - and it's a good deal to the mailer.

Now, of course, the co-op mailer can do this and make money unless he has a series of circulars or brochures from different customers in each envelope sent out. And that is precisely what makes his money - including those 10 to 16 circular in each envelope. Look at it from a mathematical point of view, Say it to pay 12 people $ 50 per thousand fold and fill the circular in its own outgoing mail. Twelve times comes out to $ 50 $ 600 - uses its own mailing list, so there is great expense involved there - but he has to pay for people to fold and stuff the envelopes unless he has organized, where he and his family do this ... The current price of the people to fold and stuff is round about $ 20 per thousand ... And a greater rate of 1,000 envelopes will cost $ 110 ... Add to that about $ 12 1,000 envelopes and have a total overhead of $ 142 ... Subtract this amount from $ 600 taken in, and you have a profit of $ 458 ... not bad for sending ...

The best thing of all about starting and managing a co-op mailing service is that you can include your own circulars or brochures with every envelope you send. It's stuff circulars or brochures from 12 different paying customers, and at the same time, include at least two of your own.

So how do you get started in an easy and highly profitable business ...

The easiest way is to have coupons and advertising - 3 1/2 by 6 inches - and include a compound with all that outgoing mail.

Another safe method is to pull in order to transform a simple classified ad as many national publications covering mail order, as you can afford. This ad looks like this:

CO-OP MAILING! The best customers

the country. Only $ 50 per thousand

it provides the circular - that email!

A couple of things you should do so to manage orders will always be ... Be sure to have a certain number of people waiting in line / available to do the folding and stuffing envelopes for you - and also, be sure to make you a great rate allowed shipping.

With those details out of the way, all you have to do when the orders come in is going down the circular to be folded and stuffed into envelopes, the envelopes, return address rubber can be printed on the envelopes as they are applying the mailing labels as well as your address mail bulk rate permit indicia, and you're on your way.

The inclusion of a co-op coupon mails, with each piece of mail that you send, the more regular advertising in most of the publication by mail, you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly your profits grow. Once you are organized and have processed all the bugs in your system, you might also want to expand your business to be included in your area.

To do this, you call the local area businesses and professionals, or employ commissioned sales staff to do the selling for you. Many small businesses are interested in sending regular sales flyers or catalogs, so you or your sales people to simply call on these people and offer to do the work.

Connecting with a good printer in your area will also be to your advantage. You can offer to have the circulars printed - to collect a commission from the printer, and make a bundle of profits with mailing services.

If you subscribe to only 5 different stores in 5 different malls, you could really be full of money in only a very short period of time. $ 50 per thousand - 5 times the shops - you have $ 250. And when you multiply that times 5 different malls, you're talking about $ 1.250. Then if you get all these people to go with their services on a regular basis - say once a month, you've got yourself a monthly income of all respect that surely keeps the Poor House ...

Every time you send mail, you should always include your co-op mail coupon advertising, plus at least two advertising circulars of your own. In this way, you can continue to pull in more business for your mailing services, and at the same time make money from whatever you're selling your advertising circulars.

Finally, as with any business you might think to begin with, the activities should first be something to keep busy and pay the bills. Any company that the start date should be a "vehicle" to finally make rich. So, you know the business, but as soon as you can afford it, you should hire other people to do the job. In other words, with this particular will not involve and engage your time for folding and stuffing. Hire other people to do this work for you, while working on the expansion of local business by inviting people who can use their services. At the same time, it would be appropriate to recruit more sales people commissions - the more people you call on prospects, the more money you're going to do, the faster your business will grow. The opportunity is available in almost every town and village in the country. I told you how you can do, and the rest is up to you!
