HOW TO CUT ADVERTISING COSTS 75% AND MORE

Unless you can afford to run large, professionally designed advertisements, you will find that it is very difficult to sell products directly from ads. However, there is a very simple solution to the problem that will allow you to advertise in a greater number of publications, and stretch your advertising budget as well. The answer is to run "classified" ads instead of "display" or space ads.

But, don't attempt to sell an item through a 20 or 25 word classified ad. Instead, you should run an "inquiry" or "teaser" type of advertisement. Then, when inquiries come in, you can send the prospective customer a good, hard-sell, convincing circular, which will do the selling job for you. It is much cheaper to print and mail an 81/2" x11" circular than to run an 81/2" x 11" ad.

And classified ads are much less expensive than display ads. In many mail order publications, you run an effective classified ad for about 1/4th the cost of a small display ad, or even less. This will give you more money to spend on advertising - and more classified ads to run in more publications.

To get a sample copy of some of the better, more reliable mail order trade publications, send two 1st class stamps to each of the following and ask for a sample copy:

Your ad could be seen by millions! for a free CR copy of this unique adsheet, send a long (#10) self-addressed stamped envelope to: Endless Advertiser - Dept. EA/35R, Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101. Include a loose first class stamp and ask for their "Free Advertising " survey. It's another great way to get free advertising listings!

HOW TO START THE EASIEST & MOST PROFITABLE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS

The secret is "commission circulars". These are sales circulars and newspapers/magazine advertisements which are furnished by the "prime source". You simply insert your name & address as the mail order dealer and insert the ads in your favorite newspapers and/or magazines, or have as many circulars printed as you think necessary and distribute them in whatever manner you wish.

Then when orders arrive, you pocket your commission (generally 50%) and forward the balance on to the supplier with the customer's order. They will fill and ship the order directly to your customer. In this type of operation, you do not have to stock any type of inventory, keep books, ship orders, etc. In other words, the supplier does all the work and you get a nice share of the profits.

For information on how you can get free commission circulars from over 100 suppliers, (free mailing lists too) send a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Commission Selling - Dept. 2LS/35R, P.O. Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101.

TRUE FACTS ABOUT "MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING" PYRAMID PLANS

For the past few years, "pyramid" schemes and/or "multi-level" marketing programs have been sweeping the country. They may look like "winners" on paper, but the big question is: Do they really work?

A reliable firm recently made an extensive survey. For over a year they accumulated all incoming mail which advertised various typed of pyramid and/or multi-level marketing programs.

Then, a questionnaire was designed and sent to over 5,000 of these multi-level program participants. Of the replies received, over 98% said they LOST MONEY!!!

As example, a man in eastern Virginia sadly told how he spent over $7,000.00 in two years on multi-level programs. Total income received to date: - slightly over $700.00!!!

A woman in southern California said she joined a total of 47 programs. She wrote, "I didn't even get the cost of postage back" and "my husband is as mad as hell at me for wasting so much money"!

Letters received from senior citizens and single parents are even more tragic.

Less than 1/2 of one percent claimed they "broke even", but when asked if they would be interested in joining "one more 'fool proof' multi-level program", all but one replied "NO"!

Another little known fact about "pyramids" and/or "multi-level" schemes is that they are illegal!! The U.S. Postal Service has put thousands of formerly respectable mail dealers out of business for promoting these get-rich-quick schemes. Why?

In their book "Mail Fraud Laws", U.S. Postal Service states that the "endless chain" schemes of pyramids and multi-level marketing are just as illegal as the old fashioned chain letters.

In addition, the book adds (and we quote), "The road to riches is buying a distributorship for selling a common product. The big profits are to come from recruiting agents and dealers to sell the product. As a distributor, there are promises of a percentage of the money his dealers put into the scheme plus commissions on their sales."

"While all multi-level distributorships are not fraudulent, the pyramid type resembles the illegal the illegal chain-letter scheme. The profits come not from selling the product, but in inducing others to put their life savings into a distributorship. Where a scheme flourishes, the supply is soon exhausted and the new investors are left with a faded dream......".

Postal Inspectors recommend that one should: "Be wary if the promoters are more interested in selling distributorships than they are a product or service that consumers need". And to "Ask those selling franchises for the names and addresses of those making the fabulous profits. also, "Ask to see their business records, and interview those actually operating a franchise"/

"Also, check the company with your Better Business Bureau". Another good idea when you are solicited to join one of these programs, is to take the sales literature you receive to your local Postal "Fraud" Inspector and ask them for their opinion. this little act won't cost you anything and could save you a lot of time and money (and even legal fees)!!

Also, beware of schemes where you are instructed to send checks to a number of different names and addresses. This is a sure sign that you are joining an illegal endless chain. Also, watch out for schemes where you are assigned a number, and/or others use a number instead of their right name and address. (What are they afraid of? Or are they trying to throw Postal authorities off their trail?)

A good tip to keep in mind is when any sales material you receive in the mail states that it is "not illegal" or "perfectly legal" - or something similar - it usually is 100% ILLEGAL, and can get you into more trouble than you've ever bargained for. And always keep in mind, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse!"

But, if you don't believe these facts, by all means join as many get-rich-quick schemes as you can afford. You can bet your life that someone will appreciate your money and may be getting rich just as quick as their sales literature promises - but we bet it won't be you.

And don't be surprised if one day you get a formal "request" from Postal Authorities asking you to immediately discontinue your mail order activities!

In any event, if you are one of many who have faith in these rip-off schemes and confidence that they can make you an overnight millionaire, we have just three words for you: "Good Luck, Sucker!"

HOW TO OPERATE A MONEY-MAKING PRINT SHOP WITH NO PRESS

All businesses need printing. If you can provide everything from business cards to specialty items like duplicate forms, you can earn a large, annual income without operating a printing press.

A Florida mail order dealer has successfully sold specialty printing for nearly 20 years and has never owned a printing press, bought ink, set type for a letterhead or wrapped an order for shipping. This man is known as a "printing broker" or "printer's agent". He contracts jobs and ships orders to a printer in another state. He pockets good commissions. His orders are filled and shipped within seven working days. Last year he earned top dollar as a printer and didn't do any hard labor or even get his fingers dirty with printer's ink.

This type of business can be run by anyone, anywhere. It can be operated full or part time. The investment is ZERO! Your only cost may be a few dollars for a small classified ad in your local newspaper. If you can keep prices below the competition, you won't need to go begging for business. And, if you can provide quality printing and fast service, in addition to low prices, you will never have to worry about "repeat" orders from your satisfied customers.

To get started, study mail order publications and locate printers that operate within about 1,000 miles of you. Write to these printers requesting their LOWEST rates. Tell them you are a printing broker and can send them much business in the future if their prices, quality and services are right. Also contact local printers in your area.

After you locate a good printer, run the following classified ad in your local newspaper:
WHOLESALE BUSINESS PRINTING. Save up
to 50% on business cards, letterheads, envelopes, office forms, etc. Call: (your phone Number) or write: (Your name & address).
Once your ad starts running, you will be surprised at the calls that you will start getting.

FEDERAL POSTAL REGULATIONS MAIL DEALERS MUST OBEY

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has rules that give customers certain rights when they order by mail. Mail order customers have a right to know when they can expect their order to be shipped.

If an ad states that the manufacturer will "rush" the order to the customer in less than a week, for example, the dealer must ship the order within that time.

If no date is stated by the seller, the order must be shipped within 30 days. If the seller does not ship the merchandise within the stated time, or within 30 days, the customer has the right to cancel the order, and get a full refund.

The dealer must notify the customer of a delay and give him a "free means" to reply (for example, by providing a postage-paid postcard or envelope).

If the shipping delay is 30 days or less, the customer has the right to cancel the order and get his money back, the right to agree to the new shipping date, or the right not to answer. If there is no answer, the dealer can assume the customer agrees to the new shipping date.

If the shipping delay is more than 30 days, the customer must give his express consent to the delay. Otherwise, the dealer must return the full payment at the end of the first 30 days of the delay.

If you order by mail, you should read, "How To Stamp Out Mail Order Crooks". This valuable report tells how to fight crooked firms by writing a few letters to the right authorities, and could save you a bundle in time. To order, send a long (#10) self addressed stamped envelope and $2.00 to: "Stamp Out Crooks" Report - Dept. MC/35R, P.O. Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101.

HOW TO COLLECT ON BAD CHECKS

All businesses receive bad checks at one time or another. Generally a bad check is returned to your bank because the person who issued the check has insufficient funds in their checking account.

The best way to prevent losing money because of a bad check is to hold-up the shipment of the order until you are certain the check is valid. Simply wait approximately 15 working days before shipping the order. This is especially true of larger orders (say, orders over $20.00) and orders received from new customers, whose credit record is unknown to you. also, if the check looks suspicious for any reason.

When you do receive a check that "bounces", the best way to handle the situation is to write a polite note telling the check writer that "their check has been returned due to insufficient funds" (or whatever reason your bank gives).

Include a photo-copy of their check - front and back - as proof. Do not return the original check since you will need this as "evidence".

If you receive no reaction after the first notice, send two more, approximately two weeks apart. Be firmer in your 2nd and 3rd letters.

If the check-writer ignores all three notices, write to the bank of origin, and request the bank to hold the check for collection - and include the check.

And, if you cannot collect on the bad check, all is not lost. Remember, if your mail business is properly registered with your state government and I.R.S., you can always declare bad checks on your income tax as a legitimate tax deduction.
