    Direct snail mail marketing?

    MARKETING 
    I think the effectiveness has already been covered pretty well. Most people find physical direct mail to have good returns. If you have any questions of the logistical side of mailing, let me know. I run a direct mailing processing business so know everything there is to know about marketing mail.

    Functional Illiteracy Is Spreading Across the World

    RANT 
    Recruitment is definitely where this is most visible, imo. It's (almost excusable) if you were recruiting for a low-cost role on somewhere like UpWork. For those guys, it's very much a numbers game. I've recruited for roles in the office and received some of the most crazy responses. People who...

    Facebook Ads Funnel Not Working; What's Missing in the Picture?

    MARKETING 
    I agree with everybody else. There's too much going on. Navbars are distracting anyway and on my laptop, it fills about 25% of the screen. Then the cookie notice, then Tidio. A landing page should flow and guide the visitor through the copy, eventually to an optin/squeeze. I would hugely echo...

    Talk About Famous US Brands: is it illegal?

    While the forum probably isn't the best place to get legal advice, in short you are correct. Brands in the US wouldn't really have a case unless you were to defame them or use their branding to imply endorsement. Referring to brands as case studies should not be an issue. Most publishers choose...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I completely forgot to post here. Unscripted is an entrepreneurship bible no doubt. I've bought the book so many times for people. Every single podcast I go on I also seem to recommend it. I keep forgetting to take advantage of the INSIDER wholesale deal.

    Own Yourself: My Story How I Did It

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    An amazing read about an amazing story. Thanks @Lex DeVille! If this isn't an origin story worth reading, I don't know what is.

    Starting A New E-commerce Business Model After Big Failure

    FTE 
    Selling PLR feels rather blackhatworld/warrierforum-ish and not that long-term. I think the business model is interesting and your background in SEO is certainly going to be useful. PLR isn't a particularly sustainable business model as you are providing no unique value and I've never heard of...

    Starting my business while still in school.

    Wouldn't be the industry I would have picked. The hospitality industry is (in most cases) an endless money pit and the real question is what value can you bring to an investor that someone more experienced couldn't? That being said, I know of a few investors that put money into these projects...

    A decleration of war and a call for help

    INTRO 
    FTE = F*ck This Event. Basically rock bottom when you have no choice to quit taking liberties and start working your a$$ off. Lots of thread on the forum about people reaching that moment.

    An Ideas, skillset and Control conundrum. Hello All :)

    IDEA 
    In terms of any apps or tech startups, the best advice I was given was by the founder of a startup incubator here in the UK. He said, get out on the street and talk to your audience. Find a subreddit where your target user hangs out and ask questions. Do the same for Facebook groups. Get a user...

    (Progress Thread) My First Business... Exciting times.

    EXECUTION 
    I have a feeling many people are going to realise they don't need expensive gym subscriptions. In fact, I think that's going to happen in a lot of industries. I'm looking forward to following your progress.

    Do it better: the case study of Flixbus

    MINDSET 
    You'd be suprised how many monopolies in local markets are started like this. If you've got cash reserves, outprice everyone until everybody dies out and then hugely increase your prices and bam, there's your market share.

    A VC hit me up the other day to invest. What next?

    Asking for a decision making tree is not the best way to approach investment. Any form of growth using borrowed money or external investors is usually complex and requires far more 'holistic' thought than a formula. Only you know the 'ins and outs' of your business and what support it needs. As...

    Credit Card with the ability to change the number, not prepaid cards

    Unlikely this will suit your circumstances but if you have a high transaction volume with Stripe, reach out to your account manager and ask about card issuing. You're able to issue physical and virtual cards with company branding. Probably a bit overkill for what you need.

    @Odysseus M Jones Don't worry, it's coming! All of the clients that held off because of coronavirus seem to be accepting their proposals. I've worked with City Hall twice now, both under Sadiq Khan. Once discussing the reduction of youth knife crime and the other as more direct consultancy on...
