More about the Mail Order Business


Mail Order has created more ‘rags to riches’ stories
than just about any other!


A bold statement, but true nonetheless. Over the years, the mail order business has consistently proved to be a genuine fortune maker.

It has created rich and successful multi-millionaires out of thousands of people worldwide – some of them virtually overnight.

You may have never heard of mail order entrepreneurs like Melvyn Powers, Joe Sugarman, Ted Nicholas or Joe Karbo.

Karbo, for example, went from virtual bankruptcy to a ‘champagne and caviar’ lifestyle in a matter of months, largely due to the success of a ‘kitchen table’ mail order business he set up.

Before you say: “But that’s in America, it can’t happen here”, prepare to be proved wrong! Mail order has been, and continues to be, a consistently successful business in this country too.

You’ll certainly have heard of some of the people and organisations who have made it big here.

No matter whether you love or hate their mailings, the Readers Digest organisation is an excellent example of an incredibly successful mail order operation. The company’s annual turnover now tops £160 million.

The Which? organisation is another example you’ll be readily familiar with.

Pick up a Sunday supplement and you can hardly fail to see the advertisements for Franklin Mint, Bradford Exchange and the like, who have made a fortune from selling ‘collectibles’ by post.

Even the ‘high street’ names like Next, Littlewoods and WH Smith now earn a significant proportion of their income from mail order activities.

But it isn’t just the big, faceless companies who profit. Plenty of individuals owe their fortune to mail order.

Peter Woods of Direct Line insurance became a multi-millionaire by applying direct response techniques in the service sector.

Richard Branson owes a significant proportion of his wealth to the effective use of direct response techniques. In fact the entire Virgin empire was founded on the back of a humble mail order record business back in the 1970s. He’s now estimated to be worth £800 million.

Of course, we’re not all going to achieve this level of success. But there are hundreds of more modest examples of how individuals have started up a mail order business in the UK with just a few pounds and turned it into an excellent living for themselves.


Once you find the winning formula it’s fairly easy to build a mail order business making £20,000–£50,000 a year profit for just a few hours work each week. At this point the business can often be left to run on ‘autopilot’.

If you’re content to stay at that level then there’s often little or no work to do, other than keep booking the ads, arranging the mailings and banking the cheques.

Many mail order businesses are operated in this way.

Here’s the important thing: none of them are maximising their income, or anything like it. But the people who run them earn many times the average salary and they have the freedom to do as they please, when they please.

No dreary job, no tiring commuting, no oppressive boss. Yes, a mail order business gives you something very important – freedom and choice.

Why Mail Order?

Here are 11 great reasons why you should start your own mail order business today!

1. Work from home

Wouldn’t it be great to roll out of bed, stride the few yards to your spare bedroom and get right down to work? No commuting on cold, dark mornings. No traffic jams. No getting dressed up. No rush hour... in fact no rush at all! Your £20,000 – £50,000 a year mail order business can be run just like this. You don’t need an office. You don’t need a ‘public face’. Just a phone, a makeshift desk and you’re in business.

2. No personal selling to do

Most of us hate the thought of selling anything face to face. In your mail order business all transactions are done at a distance. You’ll never have to meet a customer, unless you really want to!

3. No capital required

Once you’ve got a phone and a corner to work in you’re practically fixed up. Many a successful mail order business has been started with a single small advertisement costing just a few pounds.

4. Start part time

There’s no need to give up your regular job. A mail order business can be easily run alongside your job until the business really takes off. Or if you prefer, you can use it to generate a second income. Whatever you decide, there’s no need to risk your livelihood to start a mail order business.

5. Choose your own hours

You can work any hours you choose. Your customer really doesn’t care whether you prepare his order at three in the afternoon or three in the morning! So whatever your commitments, you can fit a mail order business in around them.

6. Be your own boss

In a mail order business, you really will be your own boss. You’ll manage your own time, make your own decisions, and take all the profit when you get it right!

7. Earn in private

No one need know what you’re doing, or how much money you’re making. Most mail order businesses are only ‘visible’ to their customers. Your colleagues, friends and family will know just as much as you decide to tell them.

8. Test everything for pennies

This is one of the great secrets of mail order. Every advertisement, letter, offer and promotion can be tested out with virtually no risk. If it doesn’t work, you’ve lost very little. But if it does work...

9. Roll out and get rich!

Another great secret! You’ve tested something on 500 people and it worked. You made £500 profit. Now you can do the same thing with 50,000 people and know you’re onto a £50,000 profit! Get everything right (we’ll show you how) and it can be no more complicated than that.

10. Freedom of choice

A successful direct response business can be run from anywhere in the world. Once you have the formula right, it can practically run on ‘autopilot’. The choice between more leisure time and building an even greater fortune can be a difficult one. But it’s a nice kind of problem to have.

11. It’s great fun!

Money is little recompense if you hate what you’re doing. Mail order is great fun. Who wouldn’t enjoy opening all those lovely envelopes stuffed with cheques, cash and postal orders? Few businesses offer that kind of satisfaction.
