Computing Direct Mail ROI
The mini-spreadsheet below can help you determine if a direct mail campaign will be successful for your organization. By plugging in some basic numbers you can determine a break-even point and a projected return on your investment.

IMPORTANT: In order to change the numbers in the spreadsheet, you must click the -Edit- button along the top row.
