Direct Marketing is no different that marketing or marketing online with a couple of exceptions. Your marketing pieces get into the hands of the buyer and they need to be well incentivized to not hit the trash can in a hurry.
American Express, for example, has had several new a innovative consumer direct marketing campaigns on the go. I was the lucky recipient of the Origami campaign. This campaign had a folding card with ways to fold up unused checks. It even included Origami paper to practice the folding. Needless to say, it caught my attention but did the message really get across? Well, the result for me was to keep the Origami paper and instructions and toss the other direct mail components. Great keeper and the package only had the American Express logo on it (no call to action to get more or visit their site). Was this an oversight on their part? Or are they simply after brand recognition. American Express has a new campaign every month, they consistently put their product in front of potential customers. They methodically do things one piece at a time.

Keep in mind these tips for tracking your business expenses and save time when you prepare your taxes:
Keep business and personal expenses separate.
Open a checking account for the business, even if you are a sole proprietor. Use this account to deposit all money you earn in your business and to pay all of your business expenses. Apply for a credit card that you use for business purchases only. Use another credit card for your personal purchases, even if you have to ask the cashier to ring up two sales.

These days, networking is synonymous with a successful business. Networking is also the key to a good social life. No matter how big our office, how colourful our flyers, how powerful our computers or how many degrees we have, it is the quality of relationships we establish with ourselves, our family, our friends, our customers, our suppliers and, more than anything else, with people we don’t know, that will determine our success in our personal life or in business.

A home based business plus children can be a recipe for success or a recipe for disaster. The outcome of the experiment depends not on the ingredients but rather upon the techniques you use to combine them.
The key to successfully combining the running of a home based business with caring for young children is to create an environment where the children don’t feel that they need to compete with the business for their mother’s attention. The simplest way to do this is to ensure that the child feels welcome in mom’s home office and not shut out. The way this can most easily be achieved depends upon the age of the child when the mother decides to become a work at home mom.
