Some post offices are "black holes"
where advertising mail routinely gets lost.
Spread your business around and let everybody
know you are doing so. Keep everybody on their toes. Make sure

SEND
GARY HALBERT YOUR CONTROL PACKAGE AND ASK HIM FOR A
FREE CRITIQUE.
I'm serious. If you subscribe to this
newsletter, one of the perks is a free critique of your ads
and letters. I'm happy to do this because:
A.
It keeps me sharp
B.
It helps me make new friends
C.
It sometimes gets me into profitable business
relationships and,
of course, I like to do it because, let's face it...
I'm A Prince
Of A Guy!
Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert
In-Print
Salesman
P.S.
Next
month's newsletter is going to be special. When you
read it you are going to think you died and went to
direct-marketing heaven. You are going to learn how
(and, I'm not
kidding) to use direct response to make bundles of
money and improve
your sex life at the exact same time.
Stay close to
your mail box.

instead of letters, or how about including a free
standing "polaroid" of whatever you're
selling? Say, have you tried attaching something like
a penny to the top of your letters and then
telephoning your customers a few days later and
"referencing" the attachment like this?:
