The Met Gala. Fashion Week. Two facets of the New York fashion scene that are now so ubiquitous that it’s hard to imagine what the fashion industry would be like without them.
So it’s surprising that, despite how well-recognized these two events are, very few people discuss Eleanor Lambert, the woman who started it all.
Hello, and welcome to VENUSSTADT, a channel devoted to discussing women and gender in the realm of arts and culture. I’m Jiana; today, I’ll be covering Eleanor Lambert, the famed fashion publicist who helped lift the American fashion industry into international prominence.
EARLY LIFE.
Eleanor Olive Lambert was born August 10, 1903, in Crawsfordville, Indiana (Collins 2004), a city which at the time had around 6,700 citizens. Her father, Henry Clay Lambert, was a newspaper publisher-turned-circus advance man, going ahead of companies like Ringling Brothers and P.T. Barnum & Bailey during tours to publicize show dates, leaving behind his five children, including Eleanor, with their mother Helen (Collins 2004).
Early on, Eleanor displayed an interest in the arts. She attended the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis to study sculpture, using the money she earned from cooking and preparing meals for other college students and writing a shopping column for The Indiana Star and the Fort-Wayne Journal Gazette (Collins 2004). After marrying her first husband and moving to Illinois, she briefly attended the Art Institute in Chicago (Collins 2004). However, she eventually gave up her sculpting dreams, saying, “I have always loved and been inspired by beauty, but I realized quite early on that my own artistic production was mediocre. One has to know when one isn’t up to the task” (Thurman).
In 1925, Lambert moved from Illinois to New York City (Collins 2004). By this time, she had divorced her first husband, and made a living of around $32 a week writing a fashion newsletter called  Breath of the Avenue and working as a book publicist (Collins 2004; Harbster 2012). After observing her passion for promotion, Franklin Spears, her boss at the book company, recommended she start her own publicity business using his office (Wilson 2003; Collins 2004). Thus, she struck it solo, visiting various art galleries on New York’s 57th street and offering to do publicity for them for a weekly fee of $10 ($165 today), an offer which 10 galleries accepted (“Eleanor Lambert” 2022). Her early artist clients included Isamu Noguchi, Salvador Dali, and Jackson Pollock (Collins 2004; Harbster 2012). Eleanor also represented large entities, such as the American Art Dealers Association and the Whitney Museum of Art when it was founded in 1930 (Collins 2004).
CAREER.
Eleanor first entered the fashion world in 1932, after being contacted by designer Annette Simpson, who saw Eleanor’s publicity work in a newspaper (Collins 2004; Diliberto 2009). Though Annette never ended up paying Eleanor for any promotion work, she did inspire Lambert to go into fashion promotion (Collins 2004).
At the time Eleanor had arrived in New York, American designers were not as recognized as those in Paris, which was the fashion capital of the world (Harbster 2012) and had been since the days of King Louis XIV, who used the French fashion industry as a “soft power” to culturally dominate the Western world (Diliberto, 2009). Department stores and manufacturer’s encouraged American designers to copy Parisian designers, and most wealthy women got their clothing directly from Paris (Diliberto, 2009). Plus, New York fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and Women’s Wear Daily exclusively covered French designers (Harbster 2012).
When Eleanor became interested in the fashion world, she decided she wanted to change this. According to Vanity Fair’s Amy Fine Collins, Lambert figured, “If American art was recognized as a legitimate school…why not American fashion? And why, for that matter, did Americans design anonymously, with only a manufacturer’s name on the label, when their French counterparts were world-famous?” (Collins 2004).
Diana Vreeland, who at the time was an editor for Harper’s Bazaar, basically called Eleanor crazy when Eleanor shared this idea, but Eleanor did not let this stop her (Collins 2004)! She began to shift to fashion publicity and put her all into promoting American designers, including supporting the Museum of Costume Art when it was founded in 1937 (Nemy 2003; Young 2012). Later, when the Museum was absorbed into the Metropolitan Museum of Art and became the Costume Institute, Eleanor Lambert devised a fundraising dinner referred to as the Costume Institute Benefit (Young 2012).
By 1939, her clients included, according to Jennifer Harbster, “department stores, beauty brands, perfumes, [and] American and European fashion designers” as well as “hotels, art galleries, nightclubs, [and] restaurants” (Harbster 2012).
Major opportunities to support the fashion industry came in the 1940s, after Eleanor became the New York Dress Institute’s press director (Nemy 2003; Collins 2004; Harbster 2012). World War II began in Europe in 1939, and in June 1940, Paris fell under Nazi occupation (De La Haye 2020). Like the rest of the French art scene, the Paris fashion industry took a hit as its aesthetics were deemed by the Nazis to be “corruptive” and “degenerate.” Its fashion publications shuttered, and resources refocused on servicing Nazi elite as opposed to the rest of the world (De La Haye 2020).
With Paris now isolated, there was a void in fashion which multiple New York department stores and manufacturers sought to fill with American products. That same year, the New York Dress Institute formed during the war to promote New York fashion and fill this void (Collins 2004). To advertise clothing, they initially approached the J. Walter Thompson agency, who created ads based heavily on pro-American propaganda (Collins 2004). The advertisements chided American women for only having one dress in Paris’ absence, while another utilized imagery of Martha Washington tending to dying soldiers (Collins 2004). Though these ads helped the dresses sell, the department store owners considered them tacky, and sought Eleanor’s expertise (Collins 2004).
The first thing that Eleanor did when she became the Dress Institute’s press director was demand they promote their designers (Collins 2004). This was accomplished by forming the Dress Institutes’ “Couture Group,” a group of the manufacturer’s best designers, which included Nettie Rosenstein, Jo Copeland, Maurice Rentner, and Hattie Carnegie (Collins 2004).
To further promote the Couture Group and American designers, Lambert in 1943 created New York Press Week (Collins 2004) where journalists could convene in one building on Seventh Avenue to cover collection showings (Diliberto 2009; Harbster 2012). Whereas prior to Press Week, only local NY journalists could cover collection showings, Eleanor offered to pay for the travel expenses of non-NY journalists so that they could spread the word in other areas of the United States (Collins 2004). Only a third of the journalists Eleanor invited showed up to the first Press Week in January 1943 (Diliberto 2009), but the novelty and convenience of Press Week helped it become more popular and respected as years went by.
One other idea that Eleanor implemented for the Dress Institute was the International Best-Dressed list, which began shortly after she became press director in 1940 (Collins 2004; “Eleanor Lambert” 2003). The idea wasn’t wholly original; Eleanor had borrowed it from the Paris Best-Dressed List, which had ceased operations under Nazi occupation as well (“Eleanor Lambert” 2003).
“I was desperate, reaching for anything that might help,” Eleanor said later of her decision to appropriate the list (Collins 2004).
To start, she sent out fifty ballots to international fashion experts like John Frederics, Jo Copeland, Lilly Daché, and the Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar editors (Collins 2004). The first list was topped by a woman named “Mrs. Williams;” others included socialites Dorothy H. Hirshon (then Dorothy Paley) and Millicent Rogers (Collins 2004). The second list in 1941 included fashion icons and celebrities like Diana Vreeland, Barbara Cushing, and Rosalind Russell, as well as Madame Chiang, and Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor (Collins 2004).
People included on the list were informed by a telegram, that stated:
“I have the honor to inform you that you have been designated to the newly created Fashion Hall of Fame of the International Best-Dressed Poll conducted annually by [the] Couture Group [of the] New York Dress Institute in permanent recognition [of] your distinguished tasted in dress without ostentation or extravagance. Announcement will be made January 5, meanwhile confidential” (Collins 2004).
The list was rather influential. People begged to be on the list, with one person even trying to bribe Eleanor with $50,000 (Collins 2004). First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote a complaint to Eleanor Lambert because she was not included on the list; while Byron Foy, a filmmaker whose finances were being investigated, complained that his wife was on the list because he didn’t want it to seem like his wife was spending too much money on fashion (Collins 2004). But the list wasn’t without its detractors. One of the most vocal was John Fairchild, editor-in-chief of Women’s Wear Daily, who called the list “a gimmick and a bunch of rot” (Collins 2004).
John Fairchild and Eleanor Lambert were basically industry rivals (Wilson 2003). John, the grandson of Fairchild Publishing founder Edmund Fairchild and turned Women’s Wear Daily into the “fashion Bible” during his tenure, worked briefly in Paris and was known for making or breaking designers (he was famous for feuds with designers like Valentino, Balenciaga, and Givenchy), heavily promoted Parisians and was often at odds with Eleanor over her promotion of Americans (Collins 2004).
“Fairchild wanted to decide everything to do with fashion,” former Tiffany & Co. director John Loring said to Vanity Fair in 2004. “If it weren’t for Eleanor, his power would’ve been absolute” (Collins 2004).
In the 50s, Eleanor represented designers, manufacturers, and industry groups like International Silk Association—basically most of the fashion industry (Collins 2004). Her day-to-day tasks included sending pictures to newspapers, arranging TV interviews, and admitting journalists to press week (Collins 2004).
“There wasn’t a soul on Seventh Avenue who didn’t have Eleanor behind her,” Joe Eula, who helped Eleanor produce the March of Dimes, said to Vanity Fair. “If you couldn’t afford her, and you wanted her, she’d work for free” (Collins 2004).
Eleanor took a brief break in 1959 when her second husband, Seymour Berkson, died of a heart attack. She went through deep depression, which she used her work to pull herself out of (Collins 2004).
After 1960, following the election of JFK, First Lady Jackie Kennedy, as well as her sister Lee Radziwill and friend Jayne Wrightsman, were all included on the Best-Dressed List (Collins 2004). Previously, Eleanor had helped Jackie endear herself to the American fashion press by introducing Jackie to Oleg Cassini after Jackie had been criticized by Women’s Wear Daily for wearing French fashion (“Museum at FIT”).
In 1962, Eleanor parted ways with the Dress Institute after what Vanity Fair called “a clash…between manufacturers and designers over Press Week show dates (which she viewed as a battle between commerce and creativity)” (Collins 2004).
From there, she went on to found the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the goal of which was to “further the position of fashion design as a recognized branch of American arts and culture” and to “advance [the trade’s] artistic and professional needs” (CFDA Staff 2012, 10).
“I’ve always said that getting people together as a community helps further their identity as a whole,” Eleanor later told WWD. “We were a group of people of equal qualifications and equal thoughts about moving forward” (CFDA Staff 2012, 10).
While the implementation of Press Week, the Best-Dressed List, and the CFDA all helped boost the American fashion industry’s reputation domestically, perhaps the Eleanor’s best and most well-known effort was the 1973 Battle of Versailles, which helped boost the credibility of American fashion designers internationally (Collins 2004; Harbster 2012).
Gerald van der Kemp, then the curator of Versailles, suggested that Lambert arrange a fundraising event to help restore the queen’s bedroom in Palace of Versailles (Wilson 2003; Fashion By Look 2013). To generate press, Eleanor conceptualized the Grand Divertissement á Versailles, best known as Battle of Versailles, in which American and French fashion designers would face off against each other (Harbster 2012; Borelli-Persson 2022).
Eleanor chose designers Bill Blass, Stephen Burrows, Oscar de la Renta, Anne Klein, and Halston to represent the Americans, while Givenchy, Yves St. Laurent, Marc Bohan for Dior, Pierre Cardin, and Emmanuel Ungaro were chosen by Marie-Hélène Rothschild and a committee (Harbster 2012). The guest list for the event included figures like Princess Grace of Monaco and Madame Grès, and a weeks’ worth of parties preceded and followed the event (Borelli-Persson 2022).
The Battle of Versailles wasn’t simply a battle of designers, but a battle of culture as well. Josephine Baker and Liza Minelli performed for the French and Americans, respectively; and the difference in the way of the old guard versus the new was evident in the Parisian’s direction choices—a star-studded cast, elaborate performances, grandiose set pieces—as opposed to the New Yorker’s snappy, relaxed flow (Borelli-Persson 2022).
Though the feature-film length display of the French designers certainly affirmed their grandiosity, the consensus among the guests and press who attended was that the American designers took the night, with their laid-back presentation, lively models, and up-to-date tastes.
“The entire French half of the evening was built around glories of the past,” journalist Eugenia Sheppard wrote for the Los Angeles Times in December 1972. “The Paris designers who opened the evening’s entertainment…did everything in their power to confirm the rumor that made-to-order fashion is going out of date. The stage settings were about as contemporary as a bustle and equally as cumbersome” (Borelli-Persson 2022).
In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily shortly before her death, Eleanor Lambert said that she did not set out to “prove” the worth of American designers to the French, and that she only intended for the event to be fun (Wilson 2003). Still, she also said:
“We sure did prove we were equal. People threw their papers in the air and screamed and yelled. It was wonderful. I do feel very proud that American designers are equal to anyone in the world, including the French. They should have had that equality. Versailles was a hilarious and unforgettable thing. It was exciting because, by accident, it became a special thing that proved a point” (Wilson 2003).
In addition to showcasing the talents of New York designers, the Battle of Versailles also had the effect of highlighting Black American talent, such as designer Stephen Burrows and models Pat Cleveland and Bethann Hardison (Keong 2016) and led Givenchy to start its black model cabine consisting of Cleveland, Hardison, Billie Blair, Alva Chinn, Jennifer Brice, and Ramona Saunders (Keogh 2018).
Lambert continued promote American fashion until closing her office in 2002, as she was approaching the age of 100 (Wilson 2003). Tiffany & Co. was among her last clients (Wilson 2003). Though she wasn’t incredibly interested in contemporary fashion after her retirement, and declared fashion shows no longer worth looking at, her last public appearance was at New York Fashion Week, a month before her death in October 2003 (Wilson 2003; “Eleanor Lambert” 2003).
LEGACY.
Much of what Eleanor instituted continues to function today. Press Week has since evolved into New York Fashion Week, and other fashion weeks, such as those in Milan, Paris, and London, capture the attention of fashion buyers, journalists, and enthusiasts twice a year in the spring and fall (Diliberto 2009). The International Best-Dressed List is now controlled by Vanity Fair, who Lambert bequeathed it to prior to her death (Collins 2002). The Costume Institute Benefit, known today as the Met Gala, is now controlled by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. ‘Fashion’s Biggest Night’ continues to draw massive attention to the New York fashion scene and raises millions of dollars for the Costume Institute each year (Widjojo 2022). The Council of Fashion Designers of America is currently run by Steven Kolb, its CEO & President, and fashion designer Tom Ford, who functions as chairman. It continues to foster and highlight American designers through its annual awards ceremony, scholarships, and grants.

Ringling Brothers Barnum And Bailey Elephants
By  Kathryn Thaxter, Pace University Class of 2020
April 9, 2021
Tumblr media
Asian elephants are an endangered species, and the worldwide population has declined by at least half in the past 75 years. Because Asian elephants are smaller than their African cousins and in general considered easier to manage, around the mid-1800s they became the go-to stock for traveling circus shows. The trend started with “the elephant conga line” in P.T. Barnham’s self-proclaimed “Greatest Show on Earth.”
In the last quarter of the 20th century, animal welfare groups began arguing that the techniques used by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey to train its animals, especially its elephants, were inherently cruel and abusive. 
A 2011 Mother Jones investigation reported that the elephants suffered mistreatment and poor care from the beginning. One animal from Barnum’s first elephant-capturing expedition died in transit from what is now Sri Lanka to the U.S., the magazine reported, and training techniques with tools such as electric prods became standard practice that continued once Feld Entertainment bought Barnum’s circus in 1967. The investigation revealed that even well into the 21st century, many of the performing animals were overworked, and a number died from health complications related to their living conditions. Under federal regulations, sick elephants must get prompt medical care and a veterinarian’s okay before performing. Neither occurred, and at showtime Kenny (a sick, overworked baby elephant) trotted out to the center ring.
In 2016, pressured by animal rights activists and changing public opinion, Feld retired the last of its performing elephants. All of them—40 at the time—were moved to a 200-acre plot of land called Ringling’s Center for Elephant Conservation (CEC). One year later, the company shut down the circus for good.
"’Like the elephants themselves, it had outsized importance because of the symbolic value of the enterprise,’ wrote Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States. ‘Ringling had been one of the biggest defenders of this kind of archaic animal exploitation, and the imminent end of its traveling elephant acts signaled that even one of the most tough-minded and hardened animal-use companies now recognized that the world is changing and it had to adapt.’Elephant acts have been showcased by Ringling for more than a century and have often been featured on its posters.”’[i]
Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations  became the norm. A baby elephant Ringling forced to perform while desperately ill—and a 4-year-old elephant named Benjamin, who drowned while swimming in a pond after a trainer began tormenting him with a bullhook. We also did so after a lion named Clyde baked to death in a boxcar and a baby elephant named Riccardo broke his legs while being trained. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) slapped Ringling with the largest fine ever imposed on an animal exhibitor: more than a quarter of a million dollars. By the end, Ringling had been cited more than 150 times for violations of the AWA.
According to PETA or People for the ethical treatment of Animals, “While elephants received a small measure of relief from performing, the lions, tigers, camels, donkeys, pigs, kangaroos, llamas, and other animals Ringling still exploited remained doomed to miserable lives of suffering and deprivation on the road.
Eventually, Ringling executives learned that dropping elephants while continuing to use tigers and other captive animals in their shows wasn’t nearly enough to overcome years of relentless protests and complaints of animal abuse. Less than a year after withdrawing its elephant acts, May 21, 2017, marks the last performance of the cruelest show on Earth.”[1]
Some jurisdictions in Europe and the United States adopted bans on wild-animal acts or on the bullhook, a sharp pokerlike device used to train and guide elephants. Changing public sensibilities contributed to the growing popularity of animal-free circuses such as Cirque du Soleil and to depressed ticket sales at Ringling Bros. and other traditional circuses. Ringling’s announcement in 2015 that it would phase out elephant acts within three years ironically reduced ticket sales even further, and in 2017 the circus ceased operations permanently.

A Magical Era
Hans Moller, the German-born abstractionist known as a colorist, brought his predilection for vivid hues to his textile designs. His work was part of an assortment of imaginative midcentury designs produced by M. Lowenstein & Sons in partnership with Associated American Artists, a collective dedicated to creating accessible art. In Jumbo Junket, Moller’s circus-themed border print dating from 1954, merry clowns and docile elephants materialize in the most minimal of lines. Reminiscent of an exercise in blind contour drawing, the performers’ ambiguous forms suggest the ephemeral nature of the show itself.
In 1954, the year this design was released, the traveling tented circus was on its last legs. Two years later, the financially troubled Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus would perform under the big top for the last time, opting for indoor venues in future seasons. On July 30, 1956, Life magazine wrote that “a magical era had passed forever.”
The tentless version of the Greatest Show on Earth would charm another 60 years’ worth of audiences before announcing the 2017 season as its last.

DAY THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE - 10/29/19
"THE JUNKET 1" by DJS
Multi-part thing. Know I've said that before, but. Then again, who knows?
_______________
Someone in the dark: This is the worst, right? These things are the worst. Aren't these things the worst? They're the worst. Because nobody wants to be here. Even the reporters you think maybe, you know, because they get to sit down with someone famous, even for a few minutes, the biggest star in Hollywood, the biggest IT right now, the fucking hottest, the Peoples Magazine--but that's just what it is, a few minutes in a fucking hotel room across from some actor, some fucking actor who'd rather be anywhere else. And reporters, of course they can sense that shit, of course they pick up on that "I'm talking to you only because I'm, like, contractually obligated to" vibe. it's not subtle either, it's this forced this--the same tired old well-troden stories regurgitated back over and over ad nauseum, just for the sound bite, just for the the quick one-liner, "how was it working with--" "did you have a good time working with" "that must have been--" "oh well yeah it was, blah blah is such a fantastic, I mean she's great, she gives you so much to play off of, my job's done, all I really have to do is react" "and what about these rumors of--" "people are already buzzing about--" "Oscars buzz, is that hard to--" "no. I mean you just try to block that stuff out, focus on the work" "well, shooting in That Location must have been--" "oh it's, yeah, I mean that was the big, one of the big, no they really didn't have to work very hard to sell me if you know what I mean" self-deprecating laugh, charming, bullshit "Also to finally get a chance to work Marty--" "Well, you know, the man, he's a legend for a reason, he's, well, just look at the body of work" The body of work the body of work. Junket's have their own language I'm telling you, and it's the language of bullshit. You think actors like sitting for hours on end? Actors don't even like Making movies let alone Promoting them. It's just part of the machine, part of the deal. You ever see an actor at the end of one of these things? You ever see them get up from the chair when it's all over and done with? Like they can't move, they have to fucking crawl out, pried loose by the studio publicist. "oh you did great, soooo good, sooo, you were soooo funny, specially with that one guy from the Kansas City Sentinel, can you believe he asked you that?? but you really, you handled it sooo well, just breathed and let it, let it roll off your back. hey do you need anything, need a new water or--" ass-kissing ass-kissing, mwah, mwah, bullshit. It's just bullshit. You know what I wish? more than anything else in the fucking world, you know what I wish I could be? you know? 
A lion tamer.
Someone else in the dark: A lion tamer?
Someone in the dark: A fucking lion tamer. That's my dream job. I don't even know if that's a fucking job. I don't even know if that's, like, a possible, a possibility anymore. But I went to the circus one time when I was a kid. I was really fucking young, the circus came to town and--my grandma took me. She was this, she was weird, we would only see her like twice a year, and on those times it would always be for these really weird outings that my parents would never take us to. Like to this park to shoot horseshoes. Or to a Christmas antique show. And so one time she takes us, me and my older brother to the circus. The Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey--you know, the good one. And there are the animals, and the clowns, lots of clowns--I'm scared of clowns. Just fucking everything, trapeze, motorcycles. Then right there at the end of the show--the fucking lion. They loose the lion and it's just him and this guy, in a tux with tails and a big hat. And a chair. That little stool they use. I don't remember, maybe he had a whip too. Or maybe I'm thinking of that scene in Indiana Jones when it's a flashback and he's a kid. But all that's standing in his way, between the audience and the mad fucking roaring lion, is this guy.
I guess I'm just not--I don't feel really that real sense of confidence, in myself I mean that in this business you need to--you know. Someone else in the dark: yeah, I still live with my parents. Someone in the dark: that's rough. Someone else in the dark: my mom makes me breakfast every morning. Someone in the dark: she a good cook? Someone else in the dark: she's alright. Someone in the dark: what do you if you want to bring a girl home? Someone else in the dark: well, I'm gay. Someone in the dark: what if you want to bring a guy home? Someone else in the dark: I don't, we go to his place.
Someone in the dark: I didn't ask. are you here in some kind of professional capacity? Someone else in the dark: yeah I work for the hotel. Someone in the dark: how come you're not wearing any kind of uniform then? Someone else in the dark: ok so I don't work for the hotel. Someone in the dark: a fan? Someone else in the dark: I'm her biggest fan. Someone in dark: you know you're starting to come off a little creepy. someone else in the dark: thanks for letting me know, I'll try to reign it in. Someone in the dark: so what's the plan? Someone else in the dark: just get as close to her as I can, as possible I guess. Someone in the dark: then what? Someone else: Nothing, I just really always wanted to touch her. Someone in the dark: Where? Someone else: anywhere. Someone in the dark: they're not gonna let you touch her, man. Someone else: we'll see. Maybe there won't be any security for once. Did you think of that? Someone in the dark: what are you going to do?

Putting the Book of Joy on hold for a moment because I discovered this magazine while I was at work today and bought it on an impulse, which is something I rarely do anymore. I have an intense fascination with the circus, despite the fact that I’ve never been to the circus (please note that my fascination lies only with the human acts, not the animal ones).

Direct mail can change your entire life and business philosophy.  MailElite Review That may sound like hype, but it's not: that's exactly happened to me and my wife. When we first started our business, we built $300.00 -- that's right, just three hundred dollars -- into income of about $16,000.00 a month in less than a year. We were doing well just by running space ads in national magazines and pyramiding the proceeds to buy more ads to attract new customers -- just as a lot of other small business people are still doing. But once we started working with our mentor, experienced direct marketer Russ Von Hoelscher, we stopped focusing solely on chasing after new customers and started to mine the money available in reselling to existing customers by appealing to them through direct mail.
Within nine months, we were making about $25,000.00 a week using the direct mail methods Russ taught us. I know direct mail marketing works, because I'm one of its many success stories.
We used to hire Russ to come to our home in Kansas and work with us over the weekend. At that time, Russ charged us $2,500 for a weekend of his time and expertise. MailElite Reviews He's an absolute master when it comes to making money with direct mail, and I was privileged to watch the master to work. We'd pick him up at the airport on a Friday night and, starting very early Saturday morning, we'd sit around the dining room table and talk about all kinds of products and services our customers might be interested in, as well as new promotions. Russ would get excited about something that we were talking about, and he'd start writing on one of the many legal pads we had waiting for him there.
Meanwhile, Eileen and I would sit back in awe, watching him writing fast and furious, as quickly as he could; and when he'd stop, we'd talk more, drink some more coffee, and eat some good food. Then he'd be at it again. He was taking all the ideas we were expressing, and translating them onto his legal pads as he wrote the sales letters. When he left on Sunday, we'd stop by the typist's house and drop off all those pads to have them typed out and saved to a floppy disk. Then I'd tweak the copy he wrote, send the resulting sales letters out to our customers, and start raking in the profits.
Somewhere along the line I said to myself, "I want to learn how to do this." It took me eight years to learn it to my satisfaction -- and I'm still learning. It's a fascinating, lifelong process.
Direct mail marketing sounds simple, MailElite Bonus but doing it well is not. Sure, it's just a matter of taking ideas for new, related products and services, writing simple sales letters communicating those ideas, putting them into envelopes, and sending them to your best customers -- people who have already bought something from you before. That's as simple as it can be. But most businesses aren't doing that. They're doing what Eileen and I did before we met Russ: constantly chasing new customers, not doing enough to sell additional products to their existing customers.
Once we started using direct mail to sell to existing customers, Russ helped us learn how to use direct mail to create sales letters for new customers -- those who were interested in the kinds of things we were selling, but had never done business with us before. That's when the millions came pouring in. You get an incredible feeling when you put together your first direct mail package and the orders start arriving. It's exciting, addictive, and profitable. So: let's take a look at the main advantages of direct mail marketing, and why you should make it a part of your business.
Advantage #1: Direct mail works. It's like a recipe: Follow the instructions, and you'll get the results you desire. Forget that so many other people aren't using it. MailElite Don't be restricted by the fact that may it not have worked for you before. You didn't know then what you'll know by the time you finish reading this article.
Advantage #2: It works for everyone, including small businesses. In your local marketplace, you probably won't have much direct mail competition, if any. You'll have a chance to run right past your competitors and become the dominant business in your field. Even if you run a regional or national business, the chances are good that none of your competitors are doing what you can do with direct mail.
Advantage #3: Direct mail is targeted marketing. You can pick and choose people who've bought services and products similar to yours in the past. Most other forms of advertising don't allow this. Those methods waste most of your advertising on people who aren't interested in what you offer, spraying your message out to people from all walks of life, just a tiny fraction of whom are your best prospects. Direct mail makes it easy for you to choose only the people you want to reach -- and then to reach them in a personal way. You're actually sending a letter to someone, communicating via a printed letter, one-on-one. Always act as though you have something special to say to one special person. That's what makes direct mail so personable.
Advantage #4: Almost no one knows these secrets. If they know anything about direct mail, it's usually very basic; they understand it involves mailing things to prospects, usually postcards. They may have tried it, and found it didn't work for them. Again, that's because they're doing it wrong. MailElite Reviews They don't understand the industry or the methods -- not even the basics, let alone its intricacies. As shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis once said, "The secret to business is to know something nobody else knows." That's true of direct mail. If you can learn to understand direct mail marketing at a basic level, and you're willing to focus your efforts on it, the rest can come later. It takes a lifetime to master, but you can earn while you learn.
Advantage #5: Direct mail gives you an unbeatable lead, almost an unfair advantage, over other marketers. It's a stealthy way to promote your offers to your marketplace, because your competitors may have no idea what you're doing. The only way they'll learn is if someone tells them, or if they get on your mailing list somehow.
Advantage #6: Direct mail marketing is scalable, whether up or down. With an initial test, when you're just getting started with an offer, you'll want to keep the volume low. If the market responds, you crank the dial up, mailing out more pieces. If it doesn't, you try another offer. Whether or not you scale up and down may also depend on the marketplace you're in. If the whole Internet is your marketplace and you have millions of potential customers, then even a small return may make it worth cranking up the volume. If you're in a small local economy, with thousands or tens of thousands of potential customers at most, you'll require a greater response. Always check your numbers and always test, and you can continue to grow your business.
If you don't think you can handle all that work yourself, hire more employees. This is especially true if you're a one-man band, because your ability to grow is limited by your ability to perform. Let other people do some of the work; act as the brain behind it, the person who directs and facilitates it. MailElite Bonus This method can work whether you mow lawns for a living, own a small mechanic shop, or you're an electrician and think you don't need to advertise because you have all the business you can handle right now. Build a team you pay to do most of the actual work. Don't limit yourself by thinking small.
Advantage #7: You can segment your customer list, so certain offers go out only to specific groups of customers. Your very best customers -- the people who spend the most money with you -- will get offers the rest of your customers don't; so even within your customer base, there's stealth selling going on. Your other lists won't even see an offer unless it's a hit with your best customers, whereupon you carefully introduce it to everyone you think might buy it.
Advantage #8: You can make grand offers with a much better chance of success than most advertising methods. One of my personal heroes is P.T. Barnum, one of the founders of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus. He was an incredible entrepreneur, involved in all kinds of businesses. Many good biographies have been written on the man, and it's worth it to study his life -- because he understood marketing at a deep level, which helped him become one of the world's richest men in his day.
Barnum once said, "Most business people are trying to catch a whale using a minnow as bait." They throw together small direct mail flyers or postcards that aren't connected to any kind of strategy. Those campaigns fail to produce, so they give up and declare that direct mail doesn't work. MailElite Review Nothing could be farther from the truth. Direct mail beats the pants off all other kinds of marketing and advertising methods. You'll see one of the reasons for that with our next advantage:

The Greatest Advantages of Direct Mail Marketing

If you can learn to understand direct mail marketing at a basic level, and you're willing to focus your efforts on it, the rest can come later. It takes a lifetime to master, but you can earn while you learn.
Advantage #5: Direct mail gives you an unbeatable lead, almost an unfair advantage, over other marketers.

Barnum, one of the founders of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus. He was an incredible entrepreneur, involved in all kinds of businesses. Many good biographies have been written on the man, and it's worth it to study his life -- because he understood marketing at a deep level, which helped him become one of the world's richest men in his day.
Barnum once said, "Most business people are trying to catch a whale using a minnow as bait." They throw together small direct mail flyers or postcards that aren't connected to any kind of strategy. Those campaigns fail to produce, so they give up and declare that direct mail doesn't work. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Direct mail beats the pants off all other kinds of marketing and advertising methods. You'll see one of the reasons for that with our next advantage:
Advantage #9: Done correctly, direct mail marketing does a complete job of selling. It's like a salesperson in an envelope -- one who never gets sick, never complains, never wants a raise, and works 24 hours a day. If done correctly, it's disruptive -- which is precisely what you want it to be. I was involved in the business for years before I really understood the full impact of the word. Direct mail has to be disruptive in order to catch people's attention. Yes, people still sort their mail over a trashcan sometimes, not paying close attention to all the direct mail they're getting; but it's still far more disruptive than any other method, except for a live salesperson.
Think about how easy it is to delete your e-mail; you don't even have to read it. Direct mail is far more disruptive than email; it gets in the way and drives in that little wedge that's necessary in order to get the right people to pay attention. It seems like everybody's in love with whatever's new, and direct mail is old-fashioned -- so most people ignore it. Yes, it's old news, but it works better than all those fancy innovations.
Advantage #10: Direct mail can make you big money. My company has generated over $150 million in gross direct mail revenue in 24 years, and my wife and I are the most average people you'll ever meet; you'd never pick us out of a lineup of successful people. Yet direct mail marketing has been responsible for almost all of the millions of dollars that have come pouring into our little company. Our headquarters are in Goessel, Kansas. If you didn't know it was an hour north of Wichita, you wouldn't be able to find it on a map. You probably still wouldn't find it.
Now, we love Kansas and are passionate about our state, but we also recognize it for what it is. It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and we like it that way. But although we're in a town of just a few hundred people, we're generating millions of dollars with direct mail. That should inspire you. This is something that really can make you a lot of money.
If there's a single business tip that will profit you more than any other, it's this: you have to sell more things to more people more often for more profit with every transaction. Everything else is details. But such details! You have to figure out all the ways and means, strategies and methods; and you have to get it all right. But it's still just selling more to more people more often for more profit per transaction. Direct mail marketing is the ultimate way to do that. You're in full control of every aspect of the process.
Yes, there's a learning curve. You have to be willing to both learn and practice. Try to make it fun and exciting; but even if you don't feel that way about it, just keep your eyes on the prize. You can earn incredible amounts of money while you're learning, and even more when you've mastered direct mail. There's simply no better way to use that little formula of selling more stuff to more people more often for more profit every time than direct mail.
Check the other articles I'll be posting in the next few days and months, where I'll provide secrets on everything from the best direct mail marketing methods to copywriting tips. I think you'll soon realize that this really is the best way to go forward for most businesses. So dig in deep and really use these methods I'll teach you here -- and you'll end up light years ahead of the competition.

A Kingdom On Wheels The Hidden World
N the steps above the makeshift stables, the circus priest is getting nostalgic.
“I did a baptism once in Fort Worth, Texas. … I came in on an elephant wearing the child, which become four weeks old,” the Rev. Jerry Hogan says. “Now that infant is 15. I’ve married a whole lot of these youngsters and I’ve baptized their kids, and watched them develop.”
It’s past due April at Baltimore’s Royal Farms Arena, in the ultimate weeks of the Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey’s “Out of This World” excursion.+
The closing-ever display is Sunday night time in Uniondale, N.Y.
The circus isn’t always worthwhile any extra, in line with the business enterprise that runs it. And specifically, as soon as the elephants had been long past — after public battles with animal rights activists — ticket income simply couldn’t preserve it afloat.
That manner the give up of the well-known journeying circus show, with a ringmaster and huge cats and clowns and trapeze acts … The stuff of nostalgia for generations.
But it’s the ease of a whole lot more than just a show, Hogan says.
“The overall performance is 2 half of hours,” he says, as horses are saddled and children carried beyond us to the nursery. “The circus is the whole revel in.”
It’s baptisms on elephants, pies within the face on birthdays, raising an own family on the circus educate as the American landscape rolls by. And it is fantastic acts of skill within the jewelry and outside them — a logistical feat polished over 146 years and making ready for the very last curtain name.
‘A metropolis that folds itself up like an umbrella’
“The Greatest Show on Earth” started out in 1871 as a visiting museum and menagerie under the imprimatur of P.T. Barnum.
In 1895, the magazine McClure’s wrote that “man’s intelligence has devised nothing more compact, extra orderly, extra admirably tailored to its purpose, than the train of an outstanding modern circus”:
“It is a state of wheels, a metropolis that folds itself up like an umbrella. Quickly and hastily every night it does the paintings of Aladdin’s lamp, picking up in its magician’s hands theater, resort, schoolroom, barracks, home, whisking all of them miles away and putting them down before sunrise in a brand new area.” More than a century later, little has changed. The circus nevertheless rolls across the country wearing loads of performers, stagehands, and kids in a mile-long train. These days, they name it a “city without a ZIP code.”
“It’s the most important theater performance in human history at the longest passenger train in human history,” says Rhett Coates, a behind the scenes team member, as he stands in a vestibule of the teaching. He’s labored off and on for Ringling Brothers because the 1980s and has an encyclopedic understanding of the circus trains
Reasons Why The Heavenly Kingdom Is The Best For Humans
Every a hit government ought to be absolutely capable of address the problems confronted through its topics. It is, however, regrettable to understand that the various kinds of government have failed as human beings in their try to arrest their maladies. Humans have attempted autocracy, democracy and different forms of governance, however, all of them have not been able to hit the needy spot of mankind.

It is proper that human governments through the years have tried of their quest to improve the livelihood in their subjects.

However, God is all-powerful, loving and ever equipped to address the ills of humans very soon. Through the Messianic state of His son, Jesus Christ, He has made plans to opposite matters as they have been before our first parents, Adam and Eve trashed human beings into the cold palms and slavery of sin and death. Why is this heavenly country in an effort to quickly govern the whole world the first-rate government for human beings? Every accurate authority needs to have charismatic and truthful leaders. Jesus Christ being the king of the heavenly kingdom is loving, kind and honest in all his ways. In truth, we are able to vouch for his superb developments by means of his dealings whilst he walked the earth within the Holy ebook, the Bible. The group or members of parliament who policies with him are loyal worshippers with integrity and apprehend the rigors of humans!
Moreover, because of the surpassing strength of Jesus Christ
He’s going to put to rest the difficult woes of humans like famine, illnesses, or even loss of life! While on the earth, he accomplished these responsibilities comfortably and love. Wicked folks who are corrupt and make our international a difficult vicinity to stay in will be destroyed for all time and people will now not want to quake with worry at night time or whilst walking in a remote place. God’s heavenly country guarantees a land of peace, good citizenry, pleasing employment and private refuge for all.
These and many other motives underscore why the heavenly kingdom surpasses all forms of human governments and is the first-rate antidote for pleasing every choice of mankind. Thus, we want to steer right ethical lives consistent with the standards and laws of our loving creator as spelled out in His phrase that offers the best comfort, the Bible. As we anticipate this glamorous country, allow us to vigorously marketing campaign for it to others thru the work of preaching to enlighten all of us approximately the mind-blowing heavenly state and what it’ll do for mankind. Doing this has a stake in our own survival. In truth, there is no form of the presidency that can ever come close to the heavenly nation that guy awaits!

With his henchmen in the back of him, Donald Trump continues his sporadic, neurotic and self-causing behavior that typifies someone on the threshold. This wouldn’t be so terrible in itself but whilst we’ve got a President of the USA behaving as handiest the Trumpeter is aware of a way to do u. S . And the relaxation of the sector is starting to realize that this one character ought to, in fact, unleash untold harm to the republic of the US and could realistically shove this state towards global conflicts that might result in an international war. That being said the fact of the problem is history is already repeating. To understand that Trump’s behavior could be very similar to one in every of histories maximum diabolical dictators is a fact that can not be neglected any further. The instigator of the Holocaust and the mastermind of evil that ushered in World War II reminds us that history can and frequently does repeat with disastrous consequences.
