Call To Action
by Susan K. Jones

The goal of every component of a direct marketing campaign is to induce action: whether ordering by mail, calling, agreeing to buy, or coming into a store. This action must be spurred by the copy, but without coming on too strong. Here are a few action-inducing possibilities.

• Limited quantifies or edition
• Premium for response by a certain date
• Early bird special
• Preseason discount
