How to Use This Step-by-Step "Checklist
Based" Guide
to Put Your Direct Mail Production on Auto-Pilot! |
Dear
Friend,
Hello,
and welcome to our website. My name is Lad Scott. I have owned and
operated The Scott Group, Inc. since 1978. We provide full service
direct mail production management services to some of the most
recognized organizations and companies in the country. Our success over
the last 29 years is based on total commitment to our clients' needs and
to our competent and loyal vendor base. Chances are you have never heard
of me or my company before. But, when you finish reading this, you'll be
glad you finally did.
Let me
say up front, I am not a professional sales letter writer. But, I am so
excited about finally finishing a new resource for every frustrated
direct mail production department, I'm just going to sit down and
write an open letter to tell you all about it.
Now, let me put you at ease immediately and tell you what this book is
NOT:
What
it IS!
-
A
step-by-step guide for you to produce and manage mailings quickly and
economically. This will enable you to eliminate the need for high
priced agency services for those parts of the mailing campaign you can
easily do yourself.
-
A
chronologically ordered and "checklist based" SYSTEM that ensures a
full understanding of how to manage the production of a complete mailing.
All parts of the "Production Checklist" include a full explanation of what
is being asked and, most importantly, why.
-
Provides
you access to highly professional and proven production resources.
-
Fully
explains all direct mail industry jargon and buzzwords
-
Provides my direct line phone number for FREE advice
and guidance from a thirty year, highly acclaimed and national award
winning production specialist. I have personally produced and managed over
5,000 mailings for both national and regional organizations.
-
Provides you with
everything you need to know to have a terrific product/service for a
turnkey direct mail production management or print brokerage business. You can go to
About Us
and read how I did exactly that with
"only" the information contained in this book. I have made an excellent
living with this information and you can do the same reasonably quickly.

"Lad Scott has consulted for NWF for
more than 20 years now and I honestly can't remember his ever having
missed a mail date, made a mistake, or been unable to deliver on a
requested favor. He never misses an opportunity to suggest better
ways of doing things when asked for his advice. Lad Scott has truly
been an invaluable asset to our organization."

"I was
lucky to be introduced to Lad Scott when I started in Membership and
Development. Three organizations later, Lad continues to be my
direct mail production vendor of choice. He's much more than a
vendor, he's truly a partner. He's free with sound advice based on
his years of experience and will do everything he can to keep you
from making mistakes he's seen so often before. His new book is the
obvious culmination of his years in the business. He has perfected
the service of production: absolute reliability, delivery on time
and on budget, attention to client and project details, and the
benefit of a seamless operation - customer service from beginning to
end!
Since you can't have Lad, you need his book!"

"When I started in direct mail at the University
of Maryland almost a decade ago, I knew how to write content but I
didn't understand the process, power, and the pitfalls behind
production and delivery. Lad taught me all of this. As my experience
grew, he stayed on as an invaluable consultant and "second set of
eyes" for me."

Okay,
let’s say you agree with me that having a "checklist based" production
system for all your mailings is extremely important to your direct mail
campaign success. So, how is my new book going to help you do that?
Here are just
a few of the questions my book will answer for you:
-
What
is the "weakest link" principle and how does it affect the success of your
direct mail campaign? This is the very key to a successful mailing or
production service. (Page 3)
-
Do you
know how to find the best "outside mailing lists of prospects" to
guarantee a successful mailing? Knowing how to find the best list
brokers will save you time and money and result in a much higher response
rate. (Page 7)
-
What
is the best advice I can give you in regards to "you" designing and writing
effective direct mail packages? This piece of advice from a 29 year
veteran direct mail production professional is worth its weight in gold!
(Page 9)
"The production process is ever-evolving and just trying to keep ahead of the curve is a
full-time job. While it is my job to keep ahead of the curve, it is
people like Lad Scott who help make the process smooth and seamless.
Lad keeps me informed of changes within these processes and updates
me on new changes in the industry. Who needs to browse the Internet
when all it takes is a phone call to Lad?"

to learn what you need to know about direct mail printing? Read this
and you'll see why I say the printing process can be the most time
consuming but also the most fun. (Page 10)

What are the terms you
need to know to effectively communicate with printers? Knowing these
will make your direct mail life a lot easier. (Page 17)
-
What exactly is a "Proof
Ticket" and why you should never leave the printer without one? There
are a few unbreakable rules in the direct mailing process and this is one
of them you must never break no matter what. (Page 19)
"Lad Scott has been managing direct
mail production for my company for over twenty-three years. He is
absolutely the most professional and knowledgeable production
manager I have ever known. Due to his tireless efforts, broad base
of production relationships and solid expertise, my company has not
missed a single mail date in all the years we have been working
together. I wholeheartedly recommend Lad to all my friends and
colleagues."

What are the two basic
printing technologies and which one is best for your printing job?
Read about the fast emerging technology and when I recommend you use it
and when not to use it. (Page 20)
-
What's happened to the
data processing industry in the past few years and how does it make your
job easier? No need to fear the data processing part of the process
and here's why. (Page 22)

reports must you see before final approval is given? These are the
reports that take all the worry out of the process for you. (Page 28)

which method is best for your job? This one is fairly easy but you
need to get it right and I tell you exactly how to do it. I also give you

"As a direct mail marketing
professional with more than 15 years experience, this book still
taught me some new tricks. Mailings Made Easy should be
required reading whether you are new to direct marketing or not.
You'll save more than the price of the book using the mailing
checklist on just one job!"

and why is it so important to ask all the right questions? The
Mailshop is the last step and it's easy to get everything correct if you
just pay attention to these tips. (Page 33)
-
How do I manage the
Timeline so that all the pieces of a direct mailing come together at the
right time and place? I'll show you how to set up a Job Calendar, get
organized and pull off a flawless mailing. (Page 35)
-
What does a typical
schedule look like for a mailing? What do I do on Day 1, Day 2, and so
on? Glad you asked! I give you a detailed 'absolute perfect schedule' in
the book and what has to be done on each day. (Page 37)
Armed with this "checklist
based" manual, you will have any of "3" ways to get your mailings out "on
time and looking good:"
-
Use the
manual and mailing checklist to contact vendors in your area to
perform the required services. You will be well prepared to do this.
-
Use the manual
and contact the vendor resources I have used for decades.
-
Call
me! It's likely that, due to the "combined account volume
discounts" we receive from our vendor partners, our prices will be
the same or less than what you will pay your local vendors. The big
benefit to you will be that you will be communicating with "us" and know
your mailings are being "professionally managed."
Please see
below for the incredible Bonus you receive
when
you buy this manual, whichever option you choose to exercise!
"Simply fantastic!
Brief, informative and well structured. If you do not have the first
idea as to what direct mail production is all about, you will find
out all you need to know in this manual. If you are already in the
business, then use this tool to clarify, teach and educate others.
I've spent the past five years in a direct mail
agency and all I can say is "Where was this five years ago?!" The
book truly is fantastic. It teaches you all the basics you need to
know. This book is definitely the answer to all your questions about
what each person does in the production process - and how what you
do affects everybody else in the process.
One of the main things that makes this manual so
practical is it's brief, yet complete and highly informative. Who
can make the direct mail business not boring? Lad, you did just that for all us
little people that are just learning about this direct mail mystery
and we can finally say we really do 'get it.' Thank you!"

When
I was pricing the Mailings Made Easy book, I came up with all the
usual reasons why the book should be priced in relationship to my direct
mail production consulting fees. I mean this book is like spending an
entire day with me where I explain in detail what the Checklist System is
and how it will simplify your mailings.
Then I realized to price the book at what it is truly worth would exclude
a large group of people who need this information desperately. So, I
priced the book at the absolute lowest price I could so as many people as
possible can use it to successfully manage their direct mail production
process to ensure the greatest return on their mailing.
The
price will be $39.95 but I do reserve the right to raise this price at
any time without notice.
So,
if you order the book right now online, that’s the PDF eBook version, it’s
yours for an incredibly low $39.95.
