So You Want Tips On
How To Use Our Million Dollar Bills? Do We Have Tips For You!
Just watch your sales take off like
a 747 as you oil the human-relations machine (and BOY does it need
oiling in today's world)
You've heard it a million
times: People buy from people, not firms. And when they LIKE certain
people, they can't wait to do business with them.
That's the spirit of our
MILLION DOLLAR BILLS. They're rib-ticklers, allowing you to show your human-ness.
(A bill with Ivana B. Rich as the Secretary of the Treasury has GOT to
be fun.)
Never was this fun-loving
spirit needed more than in today's impersonal business climate.
So let us launch right in with
thought-starters for you
1. Use 'Em In Order-Getting Sales
Letters
Not sure your envelopes are
getting opened? Try this: Slap on this teaser: "MILLION DOLLAR
BILL (WELL, SORT OF) ENCLOSED FOR YOU." Your prospects will
eagerly rrrrrr-ip! Nobody, but nobody, will let that envelope go
unopened. Curiosity is in your corner.
Or how about a letter that
starts like this: "To show you how much you mean to us
I'm
enclosing a MILLION DOLLAR BILL. Not real? Well, you just might make a
real million off the new Zimmerwhoppers I'd like to send your store on
approval."
Put your thinking cap on and
you'll dream up not a million but a zillion ways to gain attention
pronto with these fun-lovin' bills in your direct mail.
2. Use 'Em In Lead-Getting Letters
Look in your wastebasket.
Chances are, it's filled with mail from firms wanting you to raise
your hand and say, "I'm interested in your product. Tell
more." From insurance companies, brokerage houses, siding firms,
you-name-the-company-wanting-your-business.
Just why did you toss? One
reason. Most lead-getting letters sound pretty darn blah.
Same-old-same-old. No wonder they don't work.
But - do YOU need leads in
your business? Enclose a MILLION DOLLAR BILL and build your pitch
around it. Talk about getting super-attention! You see, gone are the
days when a deadly serious letter was champ. That's not the only way
to go today. In fact, a light touch can save the day.
Example: "Who says you
can't make a million in today's rough-and-tumble market? Call 555-5555
today and I'll give you a million reasons why
"
3. Use 'Em In Thank-You Letters
Hear this! You can't thank
your customers too often. No way, Jose. And when you stick in a
MILLION DOLLAR BILL with your thank-you letter, your message sinks in
sensationally.
Wait! Maybe you have suppliers
who are going that extra mile to serve you well. Think how a thank-you
letter with a MILLION DOLLAR BILL attached would gain you even better
service in the future. Suppliers appreciate people who appreciate
them.
4. Use 'Em In Referral-Gaining
Letters
You've got a slew of great
customers and you know in your heart of hearts that they know people
and firms who might be interested in your product or service. It's the
MILLION DOLLAR BILL to the rescue!
So you get out a letter saying, "Hey, Friend Bob, would you do
a buddy a favor? I'm sure you know folks who might be interested in
doing business with us. If you'd jot down their names and addresses on
the enclosed card and zip it back, I'd be grateful forever. As a way
of saying thanks, I want you to have a MILLION DOLLAR BILL. It's not
exactly the real thing, but the next time you're in Cleveland, I'll
buy you the finest steak in town - and that WILL be real!
5. Use 'Em In Goodwill-Building
Letters
Who are your centers of
influence, people who recommend you to others? Your banker, attorney,
insurance pro, who? Get out goodwill-building letters and watch them
think of YOU when talking with folks who could become your customers.
Again, with that light touch.
Example: "Your friendship means more to me than you can imagine.
It's worth a million bucks!" - and the letter goes on in the same
extra me-to-you-ish way.
For a P.S. you could add:
"Want to have some fun and see the grins begin? Pass the enclosed
MILLION DOLLAR BILL around your office next Monday morning. What a
wake-'em-up way to start the week!"
6. Use 'Em As Packing Materials
No kidding. On your next
shipment to a customer, spare the "peanuts" or newspapers in
favor of MILLION DOLLAR BILLS. Once your customers see what the
packing materials really are, they'll get a big laugh. Voila! They'll
become just that much more excited about the product enclosed.
One mail-order man claims he
has cut down on returned merchandise, thanks to this unique packing.
You never know.
7. Use 'Em Just For Fun (And To Get
Folks To Remember You)
Picture this: You hand the
waiter in your favorite restaurant a MILLION DOLLAR BILL along with
your usual good tip. What a hoot! You just might get even better
service next time.
Or - slip a MILLION DOLLAR
BILL with your tip to an airport attendant. He'll smile big time - and
you'll be in such a good mood that even a delay won't get you down.
The wonderful point is: The
more you deal with people in a festive, good-natured way, the more
they will remember YOU. And the happier you'll be, too.
