You’ve Been Casting and Casting, and No Response!

It doesn’t take an experienced angler to tell you that the fish might not bite the first, the second, or even the third time. They know that it can take multiple casts and will definitely require plenty of patience before there is even a vague interest in their lure. Interestingly enough, the same is true for Direct Mail Marketing campaigns. Your target customer is that nice, fat trout wallowing lazily in the shallows and it’s up to you to get him!

But how? You’ve been casting and casting, and no response!

In the marketing world it is widely accepted that the average consumer won’t “bite” the first time, so many business owners go down that dark path of assuming that repeated exposure will lead to a bigger response. While this may be true in some cases, there is a limit! The old adage, “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” may hold true in some instances, but this is not one of them.

Let us propose a question: why continue to use marketing lists that haven’t generated a response? You’re wasting time and money by sending continuously into a black void; its time to give up!

Like a wind up toy that bangs into a corner again and again, your marketing lists simply won’t get your company any further if they keep hitting dead ends. If after three attempts there is still no response, find a new path. It’s time to give up and find a better mailing list! With the ability to pull fresh, new data based on your target criteria (without pulling the same names that have already proven not to convert) you can stop wasting money on prospects that simply aren’t going buy, and start reaching out to interested revenue-generating consumers.
