Welcome to Getko’s Small Business Resource Center

If your question is, “What am I doing here?”
this is your answer, in one sentence:
Direct mail works, and Getko is here to help you make it work better than you’ve ever imagined.

If you’ve used direct mail profitably…
…then you’ll really be able to look forward to using it again. Getko offers you names you can’t get anywhere else … names so fresh, you’ll reach them first! … names at rates you’re going to like. Call us toll-free at 1.800.642.8732 and let’s discuss.

If you’ve used direct mail unprofitably…
…chances are it may not have been your offer (see below) but inappropriate lists. Don’t abandon this responsive medium. Instead, try Getko’s responsive lists. Call us toll-free at 1.800.642.8732 and let’s discuss.

If you’ve never dipped a toe into direct mail…
…you really should. Lists are more targeted than ever, and individuals are more responsive than ever. Tell us what you want to sell, and to whom. We’ll match your offer to a powerful homeowner list. Call us toll-free at 1.800.642.8732 and let’s discuss.

Your first question: What’s my offer?
Three factors enter into a successful direct mail offer:

  • The matchup between seller and sellee.
  • The advantage you offer – price? uniqueness? what?
  • Clarity of the offer.

When a direct response mailing doesn’t pull the way it should, chances are that one of those three areas is deficient. Getko’s data specialists are on hand to offer advice and tips and to help assure you that your mailing is at maximum thrust.

Direct mail can keep your bank account healthy!

  • The typical business, large or small, loses 20% of its customers or clients each year, just due to moving. Add deaths or change of situation and you have a big number. Direct mail can replace those lost customers … and then some.
  • You cast as huge a shadow as your direct mail can generate. Small companies not only can compete head-to-head with big ones, they can beat them and in turn become big companies themselves.
  • Getko’s homeowner lists typify the direct mail advantage. Customers never have to visit your premises to buy, and you can mail five thousand pieces or five million pieces. You’re in command!
