    Tom arrives home from work, parks his car in his driveway, and walks to his mailbox. It’s cold out, so he hustles. He reaches inside, pulls out the day’s deliveries, and then hurries inside the house.

    After greeting his family, he begins to sort through the mail. Tom’s a busy guy and doesn’t like clutter, so he doesn’t need much of a reason to throw mail in the trash. In fact, without realizing it, Tom has developed an effective system for doing just that:

    1. Sort through the mail once.

    2. Throw away anything that’s not immediately important or worth keeping.

    3. Sort through the mail again.

    4. Begin opening whatever is left, in order of importance.

    Like many working Americans, Tom is "time-starved." He can never find enough hours in the day to do the things he wants to do. So why waste time on something like the mail?

    Pre-Employment Screening
    A pre employment screening usually involves some basic investigation. The most important and common screening is for the authentication of the data in the resume. Many applicants have fake job experiences in their resumes. This might make the resume look attractive but might prove to be harmful to the applicant if the results turn up that the resume has been falsified. Many people expect the employers to take the resume at face value. Of course, a good resume does provide a good impression but if it is falsified, there could be no chan

    But it all starts with getting the reader to stop.

    Without stopping power, your message will be ignored, your offer will be missed, and your postcard will earn a one-way ticket to the nearest trashcan. So in order to maximize the return on your direct mail marketing investment, you need to crank up the stopping power of your postcards.

    Here are three ways to do just that.

    Stopping Power Ingredient #1 -- Relevance
    Relevance means your offer should match your audience. This is a two-part concept. First, you must know exactly who your audience is and what they want or need. Then you must communicate with them in a way that capitalizes on that knowledge.

    Direct mail marketing gives you the ability to segment your list and tailor your message, more so than with most marketing channels. Today’s database technology makes it easy to create a highly targeted mailing list for your postcard marketing camp
