|THE POSTAGE STAMP BUSINESS

The most highly patronized hobby in the world is stamp collecting or philately as it is professionally called; consequently supplying these collectors can be a very lucrative business. It's a venture that takes time and effort to establish, but once you have it on a running basis, as you sell and trade, as you stock better and rarer stamps, the venture will expand rapidly. Also, it is one of the very best businesses where repeat sales are concerned. Addicts are constantly making additions to their stamp collections, or seeking new stamps to fill out a set.

When starting, it is a good idea to study the methods of established stamp dealers. Send for their sales literature and avail yourself of their experience. In this way you will secure a practical understanding of the business.

There are various ways of obtaining stamps. To get a working stock, purchase them in wholesale lots from any of the sources given below. You can exchange with other dealers, get rid of your surplus this way. Exchange stamps with foreign dealers; you will find their ads in many of the philatelic publications. you will also be able to buy collections and odd stamps cheaply from retiring collectors.

|MANUFACTURE AND SELL RUBBER STAMPS

Here's a business that is not over crowded and can prove profitable. With only a few dollars capital for a font of type, small screw press, some plaster of paris and vulcanized rubber you can set yourself up as a rubber stamp manufacturer. All mail order dealers need and use rubber stamps, so you can market them by advertising in the various mail order trade magazines.

To manufacture, set up the desired name and address in common type, oil the type and then put a guard about 1/2 inches high around the form; next pour in plaster of paris that has been mixed to the proper consistency; allow it to set. Now get long strips of vulcanized rubber that is about 3 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick; then cut off the size of the intended stamp, and remove the plaster cast form the type, place both the cast and the rubber in a screw press. Now apply sufficient heat to thoroughly soften the rubber; turn down the screw hard and let it remain until the rubber receives the exact impression of the cast and becomes cool. When it is removed, neatly trim with a sharp knife and cement to a handle.

You can purchase everything you need from any Hardware Store. Type fonts from Mackenzie-Harris Corp., 460 Bryant St., San Francisco, Calif. 94107.

|CIRCULAR MAILING BUSINESS

It takes a good deal of time and patience to establish a circular mailing business. But if you can faithfully fulfill the following three points, success is very likely to be yours.

First, in order to assure the best of results for your customers, you must maintain live, up to date mailing lists. There are various ways to obtain lists; you can purchase them from mailing list brokers, get them from the "Big Mails Wanted" columns in mail order trade magazines, or place advertisements offering Big Mails. The better the lists of names you secure, the surer your chance for success will be.

Second, you must keep a NEAT LOOKING steady flow of mailing going out. Always use a sturdy 6x9" catalog envelope, fold large circulars neatly, and be sure not to over stuff your envelopes. Not more than 12 to 16 circulars should be inserted in any one envelope. Try to keep similar offerings in different mailings. Only if your mailing can show results will dealers keep sending their circulars to you, and repeat orders will be the backbone of your business. I cannot stress this point too strongly; keep your mailings attractive.

Third, persistent advertising. Place appropriate ads in the various mail order trade publications. Do not expect a flood of orders at first; remember your name will be new to dealers and they will be wary about entrusting their circulars to an unknown. You must keep your ads running in the same publications month after month. If dealers see that you advertise constantly they will gain confidence in you and eventually send you a test mailing of their circulars.

|SELLING BIG MAILS

Here is a plan that can be worked very nicely in conjunction with the Circular Mailing Business. The beauty of it is you offer something that most people like to receive - lots of mail, at a price that anybody can afford - only $2.00.

|COMPILE AND SELL NAME LISTS

Good lists of prospective customers are in constant demand by firms that do business by mail. It is possible to build a high profit enterprise by properly compiling mailing lists and marketing them to appropriate business firms.

Mailing lists are of little value unless they are properly classified. Business firms want only names of people who are interested in the specific type of merchandise they offer. For example, a firm dealing in baby items will want names of new mothers; a manufacturer of auto accessories will want lists of automobile owners, and so on. You will find that there is a market for virtually just about any classification of names you can competently compile.

Your sources for names is of the utmost importance, and should be the very best available. Always be sure that your lists contain logical prospects for some group of advertisers. Finally, by all means keep your lists up-to-date; check them constantly; remember satisfied customers will be your passport to success. If your names are up-to-date and not over worked you can expect plenty of repeat business.

Good sources from which to compile name lists are: newspapers, telephone books, year and blue books, rating and trade directories, permits, license records, vital statistics records, clubs, churches, trade magazines and also by buying and trading with others.

When starting it is a very good idea to contact some of the firms established in selling name lists. See what they charge, study their methods of operation and sales copy. In this way you will be giving yourself the benefit of their experience. You can find their ads in the various Mail Order Trade publications.

|OPERATE A CORRESPONDENCE COURSE EXCHANGE

There are also thousands of students who have completed courses and would be glad to sell them. The operation of this plan is simply to buy the courses from the latter and sell them to the former.

Buy only courses in good condition, as your customers will be dissatisfied with torn or mutilated material. When buying the courses you pay from 15% to 25% of the original price paid for them. You sell them for about 50% of the original cost.

When furnishing the courses you should ask the user to keep it in good condition and offer to pay him a 40% refund if he sends it back after completing the course. In this way you will be able to resell the same courses over and over again.

Place small display ads in the various women's magazines, and retail for about $3.98 per 4 pound bundle plus postage. It's a good idea to offer a premium inducement with the first order; this can be a sewing accessory, patterns or anything along that line. It's also smart to employ a suitable illustration to attract attention to your ad.

Selling remnants by mail is an uncrowded field with plenty of opportunity for expansion and repeat business. However, before striking out for one's self, it is essential to acquire an adequate knowledge of mail order selling and business procedures. Many excellent books on the subject are available at public libraries.

|USED POCKET SIZE NOVELS EXCHANGE

Nearly 600 million pocket size novels are sold each year to our avid reading public. After being read these books are usually discarded.

This plan also offers the very best repeat selling possibilities. Keep your customers satisfied and many of them can well be a source of continued income for years to come.

You will want to place your ads where they will each the largest possible audience at the lowest cost. The classified sections of the more popular general magazines and syndicated Sunday newspapers are suggested. Following is an ad example:

|PLANS AND FORMULAS SELLING

Here is an enterprise that a person with a very limited amount of capital can afford to enter. The procedure is simply a matter of gathering meritorious business plans and/or formulas, intelligent advertising and building a method of operation. The cost to compile and prepare the data can be but a small fraction of the retail price asked. If the plan or formula is honestly written and contains the information the customer needs, it will be well worth the money paid for it. As an example, rubber stamp manufacturing plans similar to the one given in this treatise have been making the rounds for as high as $3.00. People will always pay a premium to obtain accurate information on the particular subject in which they are interested.

You can gather material at your local library, by subscribing to trade magazines and by purchasing books and pamphlets that will divulge subject matter that you can use. When you have assembled a number of worthwhile formulas and plans, it is a good idea to have an attractive brochure prepared to send out with your orders.

To market the material, insert ads in the various business or professional publications, or have good circulars printed and distribute them to names obtained from reliable mailing list brokers.
