		<description><![CDATA[Brian Berg/BB Direct &#8211; brianberg@bbdirect.com I recently received 16 visits to our website from one telemarketing call.  Here’s what happened. First, BB Direct uses Live Person as our chat tool on www.bbdirect.com, our primary corporate website.  With this tool, we’re not only able to chat with visitors on our site, but the service also allows us to view who visits our site, how they found us, how much time they spend on what pages they visit and so on.  The details of who the visitors are are sketchy at best,...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brian Berg/BB Direct &#8211; brianberg@bbdirect.com Recently we helped out a local 7th grader build a blog to promote her campaign for School President.  With free tools available to everyone, we effectively aligned several Web 2.0 tools to work in favor of “getting the vote”.  It was easy to do, but more so, it’s fun to watch the viral marketing aspect of this launch take hold. Brooke Seaburg is running for school President of Caloosa Middle School in Cape Coral, FL.  She started out with buttons and stickers but didn’t stop...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beg, borrow, or steal, smart businesses today must find a way to log and measure the “medium of choice” for their business customer/prospect to communicate and stay connected.  With the constant bombardment of advertising messages both from vendors and potential vendors, good business practice involves blending and balancing both the introduction and the reminder messages without creating customer bane. Google search, telemarketing, Google adwords, facebook, LinkedIn, direct mail campaign, banner ad placement, online lead aggregator, press release, conference booth, print space, email campaign, door-to-door, or just drive-by traffic….all have a...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Shelby Bill Explained In June of 2000, the Shebly Bill was put into law which changed the way marketers are were able to use current Department of Motor Vehicle database information. Though the DMV data is still readily available for research purposes, one can no longer identify specific car owners from this database and mail to them. The Shelby Bill did leave some use of this data still intact. It allows “pre-Shebly” data (DMV data made available prior to June of 2000) to continue to be used, and it...]]></description>

It works.&#8221;  A colleague’s mother received this &#38; it created a buzz in her community.  You might also try adding a BRE or reply envelope with a live stamp to help ease response. You may even try adding a reply form so people don&#8217;t have to cut out the coupon. FAB’s Kudos to JiffyLube, who adorn...]]></description>

If you mailed more than 500,000 pieces of First Class Pre-Sort mail each in Q4, 2007 and 2008, you are eligible for a 20% postal discount during this coming Q4 for any incremental volume.    A great deal from the USPS! &#8216;Don&#8217;t see yourself moving promo mail to First Class for this offer?   LOOK AGAIN.    Assuming you&#8217;ve stored up the volume requirements in your monthly First Class billings, use your 20% rebate to mail First Class post cards.   So, 20% of an average 35-cent letter rate is 7-cents, which effectively...]]></description>
