The best
form of
advertising
Author and retail expert declares:

"Direct mail is the most effective form of advertising for retailers."

The most effective forms of advertising for retailers (in order of effectiveness) are:

  1>>  direct response (via direct mail or e-mail)
  2>>  TV
  3>>  radio
  4>>  newspaper

(Based on a survey of retailers by Rick Segel,
former retailer and nationally-recognized retail expert, consultant, keynote speaker and
author of Retail Business Kit for Dummies)

“The number one type of retail advertising today is direct mail (which includes e-mail) because it’s generally the most cost effective and highest producing advertising."
