If you are going to be sending heavy items like shampoo then I would suggest getting a flat rate box from the post office. They cost 8 dollars I believe but there is no weight limit. Before the flat rate boxes it was costing me 15 -20 dollars just to send one package. Also don't send phone cards because the military has a contract with att and they can buy min. over there a lot cheaper than any phone card you will send. I would suggest send DVDs(Target sometimes has them on sale for ten dollars), books, magazines( Cars, maxium, mens health, etc.). Cookies but they should be store bought. I always like to send seasonal items like Easter candy too. If you know what kind of music he likes then send him the newest music Cd's.  That's what I call music Cd's are nice because they have a little bit of everything. That's all I can think of right now.

depends on the fragile item.  Foam 'peanuts' work great for almost anything.  Newspaper, balled-up newspaper for heavier items, bubble-wrap, sponge

Target your market and think about doing specialty baskets made for exclusively for the recipient.  That means taking orders and not buying items in bulk but you should see a bigger return than what you're seeing now.  Good Luck!

I would suggest sending a bulk email out and asking them for a cheap option.  For am expensive option I would suggest OTX Marketing as a good place to start

why not send something via amazon.com, postal should be a minimum & they have a wide choice, or even try ebay.com many new things on there

Word of mouth is always the best business.  Always ask for referrals from anyone you do business with and ask for referral from someone who says no.  "I was unable to help you, do you know of someone who might need my services"?\n\nBest of luck to you.

I sell on ebay too and i mainly use tons of news paper.....Wrap it in layers and layers of news paper and than stuff news papers all around it very tight, fill the box full of papers, when you can't get anymore in it...tape it....Give it a shake and see if you hear anything moving around.......Don't hear anything, than it's good to go.........Good luck.......Remember ...Pack tight

1) The best way... identify a target market, "Farm" them with your USP, frequent contacts, outrageous offers, entertaining newsletters, the keys being FREQUENT, measureable, and testing constantly.  You might start with anything by Dan Kennedy or his peers - check out his "Resources" page at dankennedy.com .\n\nScott Tucker I know is doing great stuff in the sub-prime market, you should get on his list., and there are plenty of others. \n\n2) yes, there are plenty of companies doing that. I know of several that I would recommend. But you're asking the wrong question: you shouldn't really care which one is "the best deal" in terms of price. If you do this right, you'll know to the penny exactly how much you must spend to acquire a new customer, and that customer's value to you over a given period of time. \nSo selecting a fulfillment company comes down to different factors, like how automated they are, how well they integrate with your customer tracking system, what other services they offer (like lumpy mail, CD dupes, etc).

A few ideas: \n\n1) Flyers & Business Cards - Who are your customers & where do they shop (e.g. grocery, home improvement stores, etc)? Post flyers where your customers frequent.\n\n2) Advertise Locally -- Newspapers, Craigslist, Yahoo! Local\n\n3) Word of Mouth -- Offer a great service & people will talk.\n\n4) Mailers -- Send out coupons, specials, etc.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
