I have had a huge response from printing my own "business cards" with just the simple slogan  "Do This Today"  and one of my forwarding URL's which just happens to be .DoThisToday.com and placing them in every monthly bill I pay.  I also mail one back in each of the postage paid envelopes I receive in junk mail.

People are naturally curious and even if they throw it away, "Do This Today" is easy to remember and most seem to be at least visiting my site.  Plus, it's free!

Is anyone else doing something similar to this?

Do you get any response from these junk mailers or do you benefit anything from them?

st, Every little bit helps. If I can make one solid contact from this practice it might lead to other referrals by word of mouth. No effort is ever wasted and when you think of the people who are receiving those cards, most likely they are the type of people who are looking for change in their life. I have tried many techniques such as this. One thing I do is leave a few cards sitting on the table in a public are waiting room such as the DMV, or I've even slipped a card or two in a magazine in a doctors office. If you are creative and energetic and are willing try new things it can only help. With the cost of business cards so incredibly cheap from sources such as VistaPrint, it's well worth the effort.

In fact I got a pile of business cards from Trafford (my publisher) & I didn't know what to do with them.
I may try your method as I got lots of junk mail everyday with prepaid envelopes. Thanks for your info.

I never thought of doing that. It doesn't really cost you anything but a few minutes of your time but if you get one new customer or client it would be worth it especially if the new client or customer tells other people about there experience with your business.

Yes I got lots of junk mail practically everyday & my business cards come in handy. I suppose they can't say that I'm spamming as they are the ones who send me the junk mail.

No it's not spamming if they sent you an envelope first  cheesy I just posted this here because it's just one of my little methods to flex my free marketing skills.

That's a great attitude all entrpeneurs should alway take, "Got nothing to lose". If you approach marketing your business in that fashion you will always end up ahead of the game.
