Put selling copy in the upper left corner of the BRE. |

A business reply envelope must be carefully designed to meet postal regulations. However, the upper left corner is free space you can use any way you choose. Use it for a special last minute offer, a confirming testimonial, or a rush order message. You can even put the name of letter signer there to assure that the order will be handled personally. |
