Problem: Your company has a new name, a new logo, and
a service your customers think is wonderful once they
try it. Which means they have to get hold of your software
and see for themselves how easy it is to use.
Solution: Send em the software. Boscobel developed
the first-ever direct mail campaign that enclosed a software
diskette. (Boscobel president Joyce Bosc was inspired by receiving
a shampoo sample in the mail. Softer hair...software...hmmm.)
We also pioneered magazine ads with attached software.
Direct response advertising allowed extensive testing for
example, by using A/B/C split insertions (or in-line testing)
in magazines. Most of all, including a diskette put the software
directly into the hands of consumers so they could respond
by trying AOL. Which they did at an astounding response rate
of 70%!
