How to compare direct postal mail with email advertising in terms of cost and conversion rate?

Email is a much better option than direct mail in both cost and conversion. The problem is spam! You can only email people who give you permission to email them.\n\nIf your question is how direct mail compares with spam, well , direct mail would win that fight for a ligitimate business anyway.

Sounds like a scam:\n"Mailing $1.00 per Envelope"\n\nWho in the right mind would give somebody a dollar to mail an envelope?!\n\nAnyways, I always keep this in mind.  If you have to "pay" a membership fee to find a way to make money... then its a scam

It all depends on what websites you place your ads on, the size of the ad, position on page, frequency shown etc. This is assuming that the creative work is already done.\n\nI would do research on the target market to see what kind of websites they go to.  Then I would visit the website and ask them to email a media kit (there should be a price list for all of the above questions).\n\nAs for the e-newsletter it can be inexpensive to compose (with all the graphics and copy). I know a guy that sends out one for about 120 bucks (only cause he has it assembled for him). It depends if you're going to do the work in-house or out source it. however it doesn't mean anything if you don't have a great mailing list.\n\nHope this helps.

I would try Google AdWords and I would try whatever Yahoos answer is to AdWords.  Make sure that you put in a refering code so that you can determine which ads create conversions (sales) for you.

the anser for this question depends on what kind of email client you are using to check your emails, can you be more specific?

It all depends on the size & weight of the package.  USPS has limitations.  I usually give an option of UPS or Prority Mail and let the customer decide.  Priority mail is cheaper with lighter things and UPS cheaper for heavier things.  We're actually moving over to FedEx - it's cheaper.  Priority mail does have advantages sometimes because of the free boxes.  Advice is that you should charge the customer for shipping and add a small handling fee if you can't make enough profit on the item itself.  The problem isn't your shipping costs, it's the item you're selling.  Investigate other items!

Your best bet is to check online at the U. S. Postal Service Website http://www.usps.com.  They have pix of all the postage and the rates.

I would suggest sending a bulk email out and asking them for a cheap option.  For am expensive option I would suggest OTX Marketing as a good place to start

make sure that what ever address you want to get mail from is in your address book, then it will go to the in box, not spam or bulk

Use a full email client instead of a brower based. An example of this is Outlook and Outlook Express. You have SOOOOOO much more power when you use a mail client. I know that gmail accepts POP3 clients with no extra charge. Yahoo charges for POP access.\n\nLook into it. You will be VERY happy that you did.

The same way you would else.  You need a email address or a real address and then go to post office and they will tell you how much.\n\nIf you have the address you can send mail to it.\n\nDB

If the letter is going to a mil. base standard postage will do, as far as the package your local post offfice will help you.

Have a look to a comparison in ConsumerSearch "Web Email Reviews":\n\nhttp://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/web-email-reviews/reviews.html\n\n"Experts say Gmail is easily the best Web e-mail service, beating both MSN Hotmail and Yahoo in reviews. Gmail gets the most press for its 2GB of storage space, but Gmail also gets kudos for its intuitive organization features; users can assign labels to individual e-mails for sorting, and ongoing reply e-mails organize in blog-like fashion. You can access Gmail through a desktop e-mail client (such as Outlook Express), and Gmail gives infrequent users a lot of latitude, only canceling an account after nine months of inactivity. The main concern with Gmail is that it scans each incoming message for keywords, displaying text ads relevant to those keywords. Still, experts say the ads are unobtrusive, especially compared to Hotmail and Yahoo."\nhttp://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/web-email-reviews/index.html
