6 Measuring Success
- Revenue is usually number one on the list.
- Calls-to-action are a close second.
- There are other marketing metrics used to gauge success,
like hit rate, click-throughs, returns, and time.
- Each client has specific goals, so we tailor each
campaign to maximize the impact.
- We’re winners. When was the last time a direct
mail campaign won you $3,000,000 in revenue?

Did we tell you we have a money tree?

Email for a picture of it.
Remember to put “Tree” in your subject line.

- Do you have a list of those people we can target?
- Your audience is not stupid, but they are busy.
- We give your marketing a “human touch”.
