00:00 – 00:36 “I had a friend who was, oddly enough, the VP of marketing at the U.S. Postal Service. And his dad owned a hardware store in a rural city. And his dad was trying to advertise to build his business. And my friend said, you should really use the mail. I’m at the U.S. Postal Service. it’d be good for us. Mail works. It would be good for you. The stats on mail, by the way, for those who aren’t familiar, Direct Marketing Association says it returns on average $13 for every dollar invested. So that’s one of the highest among advertising mediums, if you can properly target people.” — Wilson Zehr
