Wow it looks really good! Good job! This is one of the few homeowner posts that I've seen go this way, good job Michael.
They usually go like this, h/o says I'm gonna do a,b and c what do you guys suggest? The answer is d,e and f. H/o says I'm doing a,b and c anyway, it ends up looking like crap, they get defensive and insulting.
Looks good Michael!

I won a dual lance and gun in a *** photo contest.

Very busy!
Web, referrals, and repeats, no resi advertising this year at all. Spending all marketing $s this year on commercial work.

beings that this is really an advanced question, I should stay far away from this thread, but I couldn't help putting in my two cents.I would count the linear feet of the wall and multiply by about $1.25 per story.
This is how you learn, soak it in. By the way your method would put you at $900.00.

Dan our fall campaign went down the tiolet, but I have nothing to compare it to.
I never did one that late in the season and it was the first one that was not targeted, I went for the saturation rate.
So there are several variables, not targeted, late in the season, not addressed to an individual and the state of the economy.

I like the dual lance for flatwork, I haven't ever really used it to downstream with.
Beth, what type of flex wand do you mean, like a shepards hook? I have one but haven't found a good use for it.

I keep saying this about postcards, you have to shop around! Find a good lettershop and you'll be glad you did.
It's all the same data, with the same counts. Mailhouses and lettershops want your business, they'll sell the lists for cost or just above.

How much you paying per 1000 for the 10,000 names you are renting?You can get them as cheap as .04 to .05 per and that's targeted to a specific demo, and owned not rented.
If you mail per carrier route you don't have to pay for any names or addresses, and you reduce your costs even more because the postage is cheaper.
-
especially for those for whom 5 grand is putting everything on the line.I couldn't agree more! That $ needs to be spread around, putting it all in one basket could be disasterous.

For a 4x6 postcard you may squeeze into that level - but now we're into how many folks are going to respond to a 4x6 postcard vs. a much larger jumbo card that costs more money? Will a 4x6 get 2-3% callback? I think you would be lucky to get 0.25% to 0.5% callback percentages on a 4x6 postcard. I know I've done much worse.I'll throw this out - let's say you can get $0.25 per poscard - I am going to say you will get a 0.10% callback in this day in age. From 10,000 folks - I'd say from a one time mailing with a small postcard you will get about
10 folks calling you back, if you are utterly lucky you will get 25 folks calling you back. it will cost you $2,500 to get about 10 folks to call you back. If you charge an average of $461 - and land all the clients you will make $4610 - but you will have spent $2,500 getting them. For a 1.844:1 ROI.
I have to disagree, the pricing I've mentioned is for 5.5x8.5 both sides in color.
I would consider a 1% response rate fair, although my experience with our campaigns places us at roughly 1.75%. We also run about a 55% close rate.
Even at .75% with a 50% close rate your at 38 jobs, at your $461 rate it's $17,500. It's not 10:1 but it's not bad.
-
Your assumption of .50 per card is extremely high, I think .25-.30 is more accurate.

What type of motor is it? Looks like a Chinese knockoff.
I think you'll get what you pay for, and you'll be disappointed.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday to all!

I am no Pollyanna
WOW with just a little more then a week to go we get the understatement of the year!
All kidding aside Dan, I'm glad to hear you're listening I think before you were only hearing.
I hope you have a great 2009!

I'm not adamant about it but it's useful for local stuff.

Wow only 10%, the problem with that is the non UAW maufacturers, Honda, Nissan, etc only spend 1/2 as much on their labor costs.
That makes the 10% number meaningless, the UAW agreements make the cars 2xs more expensive to manufacture from a labor standpoint.

Wow and that's Briggs and Stratton putting those out.
-
Wow that's too much.
-
What do you have to do differently to justify a cost increase?
-
States have had reciprical agreements for a long time, now it's just automated.
It prevents you from losing a license in one state and just applying and geting one in another, etc.

Marko you should be sorry, don't know and don't care what you guys are fighting over but stop posting it all over the board!
I'm sure Beth and Rod are probably at ACR today, but can one of the mods put a stop to this?
Why are you creating more work for the peolple who run the boards, your dispute has nothing to do with them.

Even if you could (I don't know) each home has varying pressure and volume so it would be nearly impossible to get a consistent mix from house to house.
