Acquisition packages
13
Thoughtful and compelling direct-mail acquisition packages are
essential. For most of these prospects, it will be the first time
they’ve heard of you, so you need to make a strong case for why
your organization needs their support.
How do you determine which package is compelling? By testing,
of course. Lots of testing!
Through testing, you will find your control packages, which are
the packages that garner the best responses (and cost to acquire)
over many tests. It’s important to test your control packages from
time to time to ensure that they are still your best packages.
