Mail order work allows people to work from home marketing products and making commissions on sales. It can be done through mail, email, websites, or phone. Scams exist, but legitimate companies only charge for products sold or official marketing material.
Mail order work is a job that allows people to work from home marketing a product or multiple products while making commissions on the resulting sales. In the first sense this was done by mail only, but in the digital age it refers to any marketing method used without the customer and marketer being in close proximity. To gain sales, most mail order marketers will use email marketing, websites, print and electronic catalogs, and newspaper ads to attract attention. Sales are done by mail, online, or over the phone, so the marketer may have to interact with the customer during the sales phase. Many of these opportunities are legitimate, but others are scams that require the worker to keep paying money and rarely receive anything in return.
With mail order work, a marketer teams up with a company to sell a product or products. During the initial phase, the commission amount will be detailed or the company will tell the marketer how much each item is worth and the marketer will increase the amount to make a profit. After that, the marketer can create custom marketing material, get a special website address to use for online shopping, or receive official marketing material from the company to get sales.
When the mail order job came along, everything was done via paper mail. Workers and businesses would send out catalogs detailing their products, and customers would mail them in on an order form. In the digital age, mail order jobs are not strictly limited to mail. Marketers can message people directly or they can use the Internet to market a product. As long as the marketer and customer don’t interact during the marketing phase, it’s technically a mail order.
During the sales phase, the customer and marketer can interact, based on how the marketer processes orders. If the marketer allows mail order forms or creates a website to process orders, there is rarely any interaction. If he takes phone orders, the interaction is common.
Mail order work has a stigma because many of the opportunities are scams designed to get money from potential marketers. In this scheme, the mail order company will demand upfront payment to allow the merchant to sell products and will continually demand more money each month. These companies will also ask for extra money for insignificant reasons like increasing commission amounts or giving the marketer a higher ranking. Legitimate mail order companies may ask for upfront payment, but most only charge the merchant for a product if they make a sale, unless the work is commission-based. A legitimate company may also charge for official marketing material.
