8 Direct Mail Marketing Tips for Network Marketing Success
Direct mail marketing is a costly strategy to implement, and that's why it's very important to get it right the first time around. And because people tend to have very good memories with regard to unsolicited mail, executing your campaign without flaw becomes all the more necessary.
