You Scratch My Back, we'll Scratch Yours

We've just recently launched our new affiliate program for 3D Mail! (Thus the reason for the back scratchers) If you're a coach, consultant, a GKIC independent Business Advisor, or you just have a herd that is interested in unique direct mail, and you want to make some referral money, sign up below. We pay 5% on all 3D mail items ordered through your affililate link forever!

Here's the link: http://www.3dmailresults.com/AffiliateWiz/join.aspx

Also, if you're looking for a guest on a tele-coaching call that you host, Keith or I will be more than happy to offer our servies. We can talk about direct mail and the value of 'cutting the clutter' using unique 3D mail as grabbers, freemuims etc.

Thick skin

I just spoke with a client of ours today, the one who did the x-ray mailing below. The golf course where he teaches his lessons had gotten wind that he had been sending out letters as a DDS (Doctor of the Dreaded Slice), and told him (I'm paraphrasing) "You can't do that, we'll report you to the National Dentists Association."

When you use outrageous 3D Mail, you've got to be thick skinned. Someone, somewhere is going to tell you that your marketing is bad, dishonest, or otherwise tell you 'you can't do that.'

Its important to remember that no one's opinion matters except for those who ultimately give you money. (And, if you're like me, maybe your wife. But she also doesn't mind the fun stuff that outrageous 3D Mail Marketing has provided us.)

At yet another marketing seminar...

I'm at an Internet marketing seminar today in Bothell, WA (about 30 miles north of our offices in Kent) hosted by our ISP providor, www.eporia.com. Don't worry, I'm not ignoring the presentation to post, just on a break. There hasn't been a ton of new, groundbreaking information, but its nice to hear a lot of the things I already know be reinforced.

I'd have to total it up, but I'm willing to bet between keith and I, we spend over $20,000 a year in continuing education. It's really amazing, but we are both constantly learning new things. Even Keith who's been at this direct response marketing stuff for over 20 years now.

One thing I find interesting is this whole 'social media' and Web 2.0 thing. Although I am fairly young, I've got to admit I have not embraced this whole new realm of the Internet. Just when I think I got this internet marketing figured out, they come out with this whole new beast.

Hopefully I'll find that one big Gem that will make this all worth while. I'll keep you posted. I'm here for two full days!

It's Survey Time!

People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.
- Jack Canfield

With that said, we want to know what you think. I've just posted our first 3D Mail Results Survey. And of course, I'll bribe you for your time. The survey will take about 3 minutes, and at the end you'll get your choice of five (5) different $10 gift certificates. They're good, too. You'll want them, your spouse will want them, somebody will want them, guaranteed.

Click Here to take survey and I'll make it worth your time.

Holiday Promotions

As you know, Dan and Bill teach using holidays and important dates in your business and niche as ways to cut the clutter and increase the results of your direct mail. They even spend over an hour talking about it at the Super Conference last month.

The first 'major' holiday here in the U.S. we plan to gear up for is the 4th of July (sorry we're too late for Mother's Day, and probably Memorial Day). That gives us enough time to do a little purchasing research and get the items ordered in time for you to get them and implement.

Here's a couple of ideas we've thought of so far. These are great for use as an envelope stuffer, or even a give-away.

Here's a cool American Flag lapel pin.





An American Flag Pen.






A stylish inflatable hat. Great for those 4th of July BBQ's.







And a Glider (Headline: Your Profits Will Soar When...)






What I'd like to hear from you is, what other holidays/events would you like to see some specific items? We're obviously going to be all over Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas and the other biggies. Are there any 'minor' ones that you've used in the past, or would like to use?

Comment away below or shoot me an email, we'd love to hear what you have to say!
