The Art of Direct Mail Marketing by Jason Miller, Accounts Supervisor, Fairfield Marketing Group Who reads your mail? Good question! Is anyone reading your mail? Let's hope so...for it is a given that to survive and profit in today's competitive and ever-changing economic climate, one must master the often misunderstood art of direct mail marketing. Direct mail an industry which has been around almost as long as the United States Postal Service is one of the fastest, most fluent and most effective ways of communicating your products and services to a general audience. Ask any successful catalog company just how they got where they are today, and they'll probably answer: "By mailing." If you ask the same catalog company how they plan to expand into the next century, they'll probably respond, "By mailing MORE!" But, for all its splendor and praises, the process of direct mail is often misunderstood, grossly unexamined, and even ignored by some of its greatest advocates. Are you aware of the new trends in educational direct marketing? Are you up-to-date on the relatively simple ways to cut your postage and paper costs? When researching a list, do you know what questions to ask your list broker? If you're like most people, the answer to all of these questions is, "Probably not." First let's examine how to dramatically cut your mailing and printing costs through simple list processing. Then, we'll examine some current market trends that you may have overlooked. Perhaps after reading this article, you will be reassured of the power of direct mail, while at the same time, be informed of some basic insider knowledge that may help you bring your response rates through the roof.

Research Papers Family Policy Councils State Councils Legislative Action Contact Your Legislator Archives Teachers in Focus Last Updated May 18, 1998 Does the PTA Still Support Parents? Troubling Changes Within the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Dear Dr. Dobson: Last year, I was the president of our school’s PTA so I received numerous publications from the National PTA office. Some of these publications concerned me, especially the ones regarding PTA’s legislative agenda. Since I did not agree with the PTA regarding much of the legislation, I decided to share this information with other members of our group. To make a long story short, we voted at our last meeting to withdraw from the PTA and form an independent organization to promote parent involvement at our school. I feel that while the PTA promotes many good programs and causes, they have been promoting too many ideas that I disagree with to remain a member. Maybe there are other Christians who would feel the same way if they had more information. As this parent learned, today’s PTA is involved in much more than merely helping parents raise money for their local school. It is heavily involved in promoting a controversial legislative agenda. One would think that the PTA would be a natural ally of parents in efforts to shift the power in education from the establishment bureaucracy to parents. Sadly, instead of advocating for parents, the PTA has actually become a handmaiden of the nation’s largest teachers’ union, the National Education Association (NEA). As Charlene Haar, president of the Education Policy Institute and author of

37. Page Title maintains a Washington lobbying office and most state ptas advocate at The Rise ofPTOs. In connecticut, national and state dues combined will soon total $4.25 http://fhcspto.org/page5.html

PTO vs. PTA = Independent vs. Affiliated The technical differences between a PTA and a PTO are fairly simple. The national PTA is a formal membership organization headquartered in Chicago with a 103-year history of working for children. Local groups that choose to belong to the PTA must pay dues to the state and national organization and abide by state and national group rules. In return they get member benefits, and they get a voice in the operations of the larger organization. PTA groups also have a political voice, as the national PTA maintains a Washington lobbying office and most state PTAs advocate at their respective state capitals. The PTA protects its name, so thatin theoryonly dues-paying members of the group can call themselves "PTA." "PTO," on the other hand, is a more generic term. It generally represents the thousands of groups that choose to remain independent of the PTA. The acronym PTO is the most popular name, but other common monikers include PCC, PTG, and HSA. These are most often single-school groups that operate under their own by-laws andby and largeconcern themselves with the goings-on at their school, or in their town only. For years, the debate has been exceedingly simple to frame. Do we want to be part of something larger and spend our group dollars outside of our school? Or do we want to focus exclusively on our school where our kids are? Since the PTA was (and still is) the only formal national school parent group, the decision has often been PTA or not-PTA.
