Small, easily handled, easily mailed, coins and medals make very convenient mail order items. They are also very easily described as they need only be named for collectors to know exactly which coin or medal is in question; and although quality is less simply characterised, it is very much easier to define than for most products because of the standard phrases used by dealers and collectors which identify an item’s quality within fairly narrow limits. As a result, coins and medals can be sold by classified advertising and from unillustrated catalogues. Continue reading High Profit on Selling Coins and Medals…

Audio equipment

The mail order appeal of audio equipment is as for many other items which need to be used by the customer before he knows it has the qualities he really wants. Buying any sort of audio equipment in a high street shop is always a lottery: it’s easy to judge which machines look good and have the range of features one seeks, but judging the crucial quality of sound is virtually impossible in the noisy, bustling environment of a shop. The essence of the mail order appeal is Try it in the quiet of your home; return it if dissatisfied. Continue reading Mail Order, Hot Sell Merchandises!…

Order form

The inclusion of an order form in your advertised offer, like the reply envelope considered below, is less an inducement than its absence is a disincentive. Without it, the customer must find some paper to write on, work out how to say what he wants, and make sure he writes it down clearly and unambiguously. For most people, these are not among the most challenging tasks in the world, but for some they are. Continue reading Good Inducements to buy, Stimulate your Sale continued…
