        Educational shared mailings

Every week many companies come together in shared mailing packs that are sent to schools. The benefit to the companies is that they share the cost of the postage, thus reducing the cost of each mailing from around 35p per school for a solo direct mail, to around 8p per school for a shared mailing. Shared mailings run to set types of schools, such as the largest primary schools, all schools with 16 year olds in, and so on.

        How to get higher response rates

The number of orders you receive when you send out a direct mail piece depends not only on the product that you offer but also on the way you write and design the mailing piece. Click here to go to a web site which is dedicated to analysing why it is that one mailing piece will work and another not.  

If you have written a mailing piece aimed at the educational market you can have it commented upon free of charge by an expert in the field of selling to schools. Just send a copy of the leaflet or brochure, along with a note asking for it to be reviewed to:  Creative@hamilton-house.com or by fax to 01536 399 012 or by post to Creative Reviews, Hamilton House Mailings plc, Earlstrees Ct, Earlstrees Rd, Corby, Northants, NN17 4HH
