Just like when you think of shoes, you think of Nike.

If what you want to do doesn't require money or credit (As mentioned above) Have the knowledge of how to do it and go with the Nike slogan - "Just do it"!!!!

MY first instinct is of saying - Nike!!!

My husband and I plan to begin our first direct mail campaign   I would strongly suggest you do not do DMM.Look into PPC/Facebook ads.There is a reason Nike, Apple Samsung, don't touch CC, D4$, DMM, Bandit signs.Look into other marketing venues, and then try to come up with reasons why any and all are bad.If you can't come up with a reason , then that is one you need to consider.There is nothing OK with DMM.

Like Nike's slogan.

new can be as low as mid to high 300s  you get on the west side of the MSA Hillsboro Intel Nike and starting prices are 100k or more higher.. 

Like Nike - Just Do ItEach market is different and has different laws, regulations, ways to make money, etc.

You do not see Nike place bandit signs everywhere.

find a solid company that is highly successful and shadow them.Does nike do bandit signs?

I understand the "just do it" attitude (heck, we all know it through Nike!)
