• Cut your direct mail expenses • Save time, reduce your work
• And bring more attention to your tournament.
You can save time, money, and effort and gain exposure for your tournament by sharing in a cooperative direct-mail effort
with International Chess Enterprises (LC.E.), publishers of Inside Chess magazine. How? By sharing an envelope which
includes your tournament flyer and a copy of Inside Chess. LC.E. will provide the envelope, a copy of Inside Chess, and
the cost and labor of mail handling (sorting, sealing, delivery, and the bulk mail permit.) All you need to do is send us
your flyers and the mailing list, and pay the postage.
Your mailing list should be in zip code order on 11" x 14" paper in the standard 4-up cheshire format. In this format
their are 44 labels to the page. Of course, if you'd like to send your list to us on diskette, we are happy to print the list for
you. Secondly, send more than enough tournament flyers for the entire mailing list. If, for example, you're sending to a
list with a count of 750, then send us 800 flyers in case of any accidental spillage or waste. We do not make copies of
your direct mail flyer, we simply insert them into the envelope.
Finally, you'll save on the increasing costs of direct mail. I.C.E. takes care ofthe envelope, the label andthe labor. You pay
just 25 cents/ piece and provide the Iist and your flyer. We take care ofthe rest! We mail your flyer via third-class mail pre-sorted
for faster processing. All mail will be delivered in 3-10 mailing days to any zip code. A minimum 200 pieces is required.
And of course, your patrons will receive Inside Chess which will spark more interest in chess and your tournament. We
look forward to working toward the many benefits that cooperative marketing can bring.
