Making Money from Home Stuffing Envelopes, Without Leaving Your Living Room

Image by Getty Images via DaylifeStarting a home based envelope stuffing business takes a considerable amount of time and effort. Many companies claim to have a system that allows you to make large amounts of money in a short time for very little work, but this claim is rarely true. Instead, consider starting your own direct mail business.

When you start your company, you will have to find clients and make bids on projects. The first step to finding clients and making bids is developing a base price list. You need at least two separate price lists. One list for clients who provide the supplies for the project and another list for clients who need you to provide supplies. The prices on both lists should include discounts for larger orders.

Once you have your base price lists done, make fliers with your prices to pass out to local businesses. You can do this in person or by mail. In either case, your presentation should be very professional. If you opt to distribute your fliers in person, you need a sales pitch and business attire. If you mail your fliers, you need to print professional address labels and use basic stamps.

Finding companies that need your service is your next obstacle. Look for local companies that don’t have a direct mail campaign. Small rent to own companies or locally owned businesses are good options. Find out the name of the marketing supervisor, owner or general manager. Call that person to get an appointment to discuss your service. Ideally, the appointment should be at least two days from the day call to give you time to prepare.

After you set an appointment to discuss your service with a local business, you have to make a customized sales pitch for that company. Prepare a sample flier that highlights the business. Learn all you can about the company. You will have to tell the business representative exactly how your service can help the company to make money.

Before your meeting with a potential client, you need to prepare a basic contract. The contract should include the price for the project, a basic project description, project deadline, payment due date and method, the client’s name and your name. You can print out a contract that has blank spaces for this information.

Once you have secured a project for the client, try to have the project completed early. When you first start your business, you should stuff and address all the envelopes and deliver them to the client. This shows the client that you are trustworthy. When you deliver them to the client, be prepared for him to ask you to mail them.

As your business grows and you secure more projects, you will need to ensure that you can meet all deadlines as promised. This may mean that you have to sub-contract some of your work. Make sure that the people you use to complete projects are honest and produce quality work because a home based envelope stuffing business must have a good reputation in order to be successful and grow.
