The Right Tone in Direct Mailing

When direct mailing and presenting your company or promotion to a customer, you want your reader to grasp exactly what your mailer is all about. That is why the tone of your mailer can either attract or detract your audience. Many times, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. When the tone of your mailer is too demanding or harsh it can take away from the invitation and when it is too weak with no conviction, it won't provide enough persuasiveness for your recipient.

If the tone of your mailer is too demanding or harsh it may cause your customer to be thrown off by the abrasiveness of your text. You have to choose a tone is appropriate for the nature of your business and/or mailer. If you are presenting a child care business, you want your tone to be soft and inviting. Your tone has to reflect how you want your recipients to perceive it. Also, how you word your advertisement is important. There are ways and words to prove and emphasize your point without being too rash.

On the other hand, when your mailer text is too weak, it makes your mailer and company seem like you have no conviction. You want to be persuasive so that your receiver reads your mailer and wants to jump at your promotion! With the right tone, your customers' enthusiasm builds and they feel the urge to try your product or service. That is the reaction your want to gain. If you don't present your promotion with the right words, it makes your mailer less appealing to your customer.

When you can find just the right balance of being persuasive and inviting, your mailer is sure to succeed! You don't want to come off a pushy but you want to nudge your customers in your direction. Offering just the right amount of interest and invitation will get you a long way when direct mailing to first time customers.
