Most Wanted Response... How To Make It Work
"When I walked into the grocery store last Saturday, I was
just 'browsing.' But... their MWR was obvious. Because,... I
could smell the 'hot fresh baked bread' in the bakery
department. They must have arranged to circulate that
aroma all over the store. Yep... I knew at that moment, their
MWR. What is MWR?... MWR means Most Wanted Response. Copy Writers say MWR's the starting point for their
headlines, articles and sales letters. That 'fresh hot bread aroma' was like a great headline... It
got my Attention... It created Interest, and I Desired to buy
several loaves. And... It created Action, because I headed
for the bakery department. Forget fruit and vegetables. I wanted some of that 'fresh hot
baked bread'. First the MWR, then the headline to grab the readers
attention, excite and motivate them to continue reading
down the web page, ezine, or article. Everything from the
headline, first paragraph, sub headlines, sentence , and
every word should lead toward your Most Wanted
Response. MWR may be convincing your reader the value of
subscribing to your ezine, clicking a link for an ecourse,
reading an article, sending an email, or buying your
info-product. Browsing at the grocery store, emphasized principles and
ideas that Copy Writers talk about and use. That hot fresh
bread got my Attention the moment I walked into the store. A
great headline. I became Interested in buying hot fresh bread. .. No!... I
wasn't just Interested, they had created the Desire for hot
fresh bread. And I was taking Action as I headed for the
bakery to get some loaves before they sold out. That was
the bakery's MWR in action... It worked! And... It was the old standby of Copy Writers first decide on
the Most Wanted Response and then use 'AIDA'. We've all
heard this term and have tried to apply it in our writings.
Know your MWR, then create Attention, Interest, Desire that
causes Action. Now everytime I sit down to write anything, I'll remember
'Most Wanted Response' and 'AIDA' Attention, Interest,
Desire, Action. Then do my best to accomplish my Most
Wanted Response. If you've read this far... I've accomplished my MWR... to get
you to read this article right to the very end. copyright (c) Bill Parks 2003 Bill Parks... Computer Consultant, specializing in Filemaker

Below is a step by step process to help you lay the framework for your own marketing plan:

Direct Mail - Dont Assume, Just Test and Track
Where to Start:
Measuring the Return on Your Direct Mail Investment
In direct mail lore, there's a rule stating that you can measure the success of your efforts by a minimum response rate of 1-2%. In other words, if you send out 10,000 pieces, you'll have a successful mailing if at least 100 recipients respond to your offer. (One percent of 10,000 is 100.)That's one view of direct mailing success. Permit me to offer a different perspective: one from the small business world. Specifically, I'm referring to those small business people who work by and for themselves. Call them "One-Man Bands," "Working Soloists," "Free Agents," or whatever you'd like.To help you remember these two perspectives, let's give them a couple of catchy names:1. The "Playing the Percentages" Perspective. This is the "industry standard 1-2% response rate on your mailings" perspective you've heard so much about. This is the yardstick favored by businesses that are sending large quantities of direct mail to sell mass market products.For example, if I own a pizza parlor, and I'm doing a "use this card for 10% off on your next order" mailing to all residences within a three-mile radius of my business, I might have a mailing list of 10,000 names. You'd better believe that I'm going to watch the overall response rate like a hawk, and I'm going to be looking at precisely where those hungry customers are coming from. If most of them are coming from a handful of apartment complexes next to a college campus, I'll know to send my future mailings to those complexes. 2. The "You Only Need A Few" Perspective. This is the one for those One-Man (or One-Woman) Bands who are selling services that take a fair amount of time to provide. Like marketing consulting, public relations services, graphic design, or customized computer software applications. For these folks, a handful of new or repeat clients from a promotional mailing is quite enough. After all, as the owner of a one-woman graphic design studio told me once, "I don't want to be a victim of my own [direct mail] success."
