Is a “Please return when finished viewing” label on a demo reel OK?
The original question came from Alan Latteri, alatt@pobox.com on March 10, 1996: When sending out demo reels, is it inappropriate to have something to the affect of “Please return when finished viewing” ? The reason I ask is because I saw this on a title house’s demo reel, it also gets very expensive shipping all these things out. Here are some responses: From Tim Haupt, mindseye@eskimo.com. (March 10, 1996): Sure it’s appropriate if you want it back. Including a return envelope with address and postage will also improve your return rate. A follow up call to see if they had received and reviewed the material might be even better, as then you would be maki ng a real live contact, and might get some input. It might be best if the “potential customer” kept it on hand. They might not use you for a current project, but your talents might be just what’s needed for the project 6 months from now.
