Post: Mail Campaign and Marketing Management Companies

Hello. Checking to see if anyone has any good reviews or recommendations for companies that handle the management of direct mail campaigns, or complete marketing campaigns. I have been doing it myself for a few years, but ready to outsource this aspect of my business. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey guys,
Just curious if anyone has used the company named SmallBiz Seo. They have some ads going around as KickAss SEO also. Rates seem to be good, but trying to see if the results are there for anyone and if their service would be good to pair with a Lead Propeller or Investor Carrot website. I use Lead Propeller now, but may consider switching as I've heard IC's SEO is already decently better out of the box.

@Michael Hayes good to see them tracking.
I wish I had more control of the postal system however I don’t.
It more than frustrates me too.
Hell about 5 months ago I had one post office arguing with another post office about some mail.
One could see it at the others post office and that post office said it wasn’t.
I decided to bite the cost of resending out the mail on me.
Something a company does when crap happens.
As for other companies. I’m certain we all experience the same issues. However I’m also sure that doesn’t matter.
Again thank you for your past support and if I’m fortunate to help in the future I would be honored.
Happy house hunting.
I understand the process better now and understand it was out of your control. I apologize if I gave you guys a hard time.

Just an update on this post. Half of the mail was finally scanned and shipped, so it looks like someone finally solved the issue, although we are quite a few days behind. Nevertheless, just glad to get something finally in motion. Yellowletters has been good to me in the past, and I hope whatever logistics issues will get solved soon. @Jay Hinrichs mentioned a growth phase for the company, so I will definitely take that into consideration for the delay, although such a pause in activity had me a little worried. I hope whatever changes are being made brings nothing but great things for the company.

Jay, we shall talk!
I have no idea how or what just happened to get down that road given the scenario but I'm glad I could help build a relationship thing.

@Jay Hinrichs @Jerryll Noorden understandable and I would like for nothing more than for the issue to be resolved. But as of now, I am lost in the dark with marketing that is behind, and no real answers on why there has been no activity.

The first issue was no phone number was placed on my cards. When I caught the mistake, the sales guy over there told me that the issue had already been corrected before the postcards were sent out. These were never mailed or at least never left the post office, and a second order was created on what I was told was before April 8th (April 8th is the default date that the computer supposedly generated for tracking). I was told that the order should be hitting mailboxes the same week. From the tracking results, there have been absolutely no mailings.
So far from sales I have only gotten excuses. None of their explanations explain why there has been no activity on my order in over 2 weeks and my lines from direct mail have been dry, and I'm not convinced even they know what is going on in their sales department. Things have never taken this long before in the past.
Is anyone else having these types of issues or is it just me? No real answers, no offer for a refund, and a bunch of cash thrown away. Can anyone recommend a reliable company that I can use to switch to in order to get caught up with my marketing? This use to be a really good company. Not sure what happened.
The owner of yellowletters is quite active on this board.
find him here:

Now, he and I do not see eye to eye on the yellow letters approach, but from what I have seen of him, he is a very stand up guy, direct transparent and honest.
I think he just gets a bit cranky every time I nag about yellow letters :P
Sorry Mr. Quarles.. couldn't resist.
Either way he is very proud of his company and I am sure he will give you his undivided attention. I'd say before talking bad in public about his company give him a chance to see what is going on :)
