Make your offer easy to understand at a glance
Have your direct mail reviewed by an objective third party
Personalize as much as you can
Include a call to action; tell your readers exactly what you want them to do
Put a picture of a phone by your phone number
“Free” is still a motivating word–use it and highlight it
Postcards are very efficient; usually both sides are looked at
