While the number of the Russian companies who are active in specific fields may range from several thousands to tens of thousands - even 1 percent of responses from the most interested ones is fairly enough to discover new trade opportunities. Reaction of the market will depend on the nature of your business - while our statistics indicate that every rouble spent for such direct mail start-up introduction can bring 20 to 10000 roubles from sales.

Usually, direct-mail campaign takes around up to 2 months for all the letters to reach adressees, and period of around 1 year when replies keep coming. Also, there is one psychological tip which is common for all the countries, including Russia : if, after some time, the direct-mail campaign is repeated once more - number of responses grows 3-5 times - because another letter wakes up those people who wished to respond , but were too busy at the moment. For example, imported products that can generate a high response rate in Russia are those of constant demand on the Russian market - and those that are widely reselled via distribution networks.
