INTERNET MARKETING

Hey guys,
As the title reads, where is it possible to automate physical product order processing and delivery? Im in the process of putting together a product that I would like to offer a hard version of, in addition to the downloadable product.

What I have in mind is a big fat binder accompanied with a CD.

I recall CDarklock saying once.."nothing excites me more than a delivery that goes THUD on the porch"

And I reckon he's right!

I am aware of Kunaki for CD delivery, but who, how, or where can I have this done?

Any suggestions?

I use disk.com for my product printing and fulfillment. You just need to hook your shopping cart up with their system.

Just be aware. Printing a large binder will add significant costs onto your production. Sometimes up to $20 or more depending on your quantity. Plus, it adds to shipping costs too.

And think about if you want to go with single sided printing vs. 2 sided printing. The double sided reduces your "thud" factor in 1/2.

Best,

If you use Priority Mail for shipping, extra weight doesn't add extra cost.

My customers tell me they prefer double-sided printing for environmental reasons. Other markets may not care about that.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ill cut straight to the chase here before I invest any more time on this. Im thinking that a physical product may be "percieved" as having a higher value by my customers. Would I be correct in thinking this?

Also, as you seem quite knowledgeable on this topic - which would you choose and why?

It will simply be a binder or a book accompanied by a CD.

Thanks again.

Thanks

Yes, definitely.

My highest priced infoproduct is a $1,297 home study course. It includes tangible stuff plus feedback from me. No way I could get that kind of money for something that didn't include shipped items. The feedback/coaching component is essential, too.

We do our own fulfillment except when I am traveling, in which case I have a virtual assistant handle it, so I'm not actually using any of the solutions I listed from my research.

Best wishes,

Interesting, why did you choose to go with your own fulfilment - do you personalize the package or is there another reason?

Thanks

  Many reasons. We go to the post office almost every day anyway; it doesn't take that much time to create and send products; we know this way that things are being done right; we get to keep more of what we make; I can add a personalized "stick letter" and unannounced bonuses, etc.
  
  I'm not totally crazy. Bill Myers does his own fulfillment, too.

  P.S. I could talk your ear off about the product fulfillment problems I see from some infomarketers...
  
  Thanks
