SPBTDC Direct Mail Services.
Direct Postal Mail is the most effective way to introduce your company
to all the potential partners within a short time.
As an opposite to electronic mail, Direct Mail can cover literally
all companies and organizations and provide you the deepest possible
access to the target market sector.
It is most useful if you wish to introduce your products to the market -
and also it can work well if you want to source products in Russia.
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.
These can be :
- Metal-cutting instruments, abrasives, etc.
- Construction equipment and technologies
- Industrial equipment (machine tools, industrial
electronics, equipment for processing wood , etc.)
- Raw materials, fuel, metals, paper production, textile
production
- Food-processing equipment
- Foodstuffs - all kinds
- All kinds of transportation vehicles
- Spare parts for cars , car-care chemicals
- Electrical engineering equipment and appliances, cables, lamps,
etc.

perfumes, household chemicals
