Staffed Events Have Worn Out Their Welcome

[Dan Mercurio]

Has anyone had a staffed event sale lately that has lived up to the hype. I personally have been involved in two of these events over the past 4 months and they are about as reliable as the stock market.

You get the great sales pitch and the "Guarantee" but you still wind up spending a ton of money with minimal results.

I am really curious if anyone has had any luck whatsoever.

I print 8 mil pieces a month and over 70% is staffed event companies. This summer we were averaging 500-900 ups on 50K mailers. Average weekend of 150K to 190K gross. Obviously some exceptions both better and worse. Now we are seeing about 300-500 ups with 110-150K in gross. That will change when things settle down and March gets here. Consistency is still there, I think you will get an unreliable outcome when dealing with bad teams. Skimming the mail , late , ect ... Our mail is always on time and I do know teams that are working on the level and I respect them. mail should cost you .27 apiece and you should get confirmation of your mail on time 8125 postals as well as shipping info . Let me know if you have any questions... Keele 866-601-4449
