Use of envelope teaser

Question
Should I use envelope teaser copy with my direct mail marketing campaign? 
Answer
If your mailing is for a commercial offer, sent by bulk mail, and looks like it (as in NOT like a personal letter), a teaser on the envelope is probably essential.

If your mailing piece is sent first class, chances are it will be opened even without teaser copy, especially if it has just your own name and address - and no company name - in the corner. The only copy to enhance this (if you want to) is to say "FIRST CLASS MAIL" under the stamp area.
