If you want straight talk about direct mail fundraising, do what the title says: open this book immediately

In it you’ll find 81 brief chapters examining virtually every topic of importance to those who raise money by mail.

Unlike other books that over-complicate the subject, Open Immediately!, by Stephen Hitchcock, does just the opposite. It offers an elegantly simple and inviting approach to direct mail by focusing on one element at a time. (This approach has the added benefit of making it easy to find the exact help you need.)

The book is divided into six major parts:

• Essentials of Direct Mail Fundraising • Acquiring and Renewing Donors • Targeting Your Mailings • Writing Effective Letters • Key Components of Your Appeal, and • How to Ask

Within each part, Hitchcock offers specific suggestions with just enough detail to allow you to implement his advice. Take the section, ‘How to Ask.’ Among the topics discussed are: ways of asking for the gift, why it’s important to ask for the gift at least twice, when not to ask for a specific gift, how to increase the first gift (the key one as it dictates the size of future gifts), how to raise $1,000 gifts by mail, and how to ask for monthly gifts and charitable bequests. And that’s just a sampling.

Or take the section, ‘Key Components of Your Appeal.’ The 16 topics Hitchcock explores in these pages include a discussion of obsolete (and offensive) techniques, the cardinal rules of envelope copy, the misunderstood role of inserts, the use of multiple signatures, how to contain your costs, even a look at URGENT telegrams and whether they work.

With its clear-eyed realistic focus, there’s no other book on direct mail fundraising quite like Open Immediately!.

Hitchcock knows that your time is limited. He realizes too that you’re not going to overturn your current program. But what you can do, he understands, is tweak your efforts to be more profitable. And, Open Immediately! offers dozens and dozens of ways to do just this..

Concisely covers all the important concepts in an easy-to-understand way

Gaining a strong sense of signals and systems fundamentals is key for general proficiency in any electronic engineering discipline, and critical for specialists in signal processing, communication, and control. At the same time, there is a pressing need to gain mastery of these concepts quickly, and in a manner that will be immediately applicable in the real word.

Simultaneous study of both continuous and discrete signals and systems presents a much easy path to understanding signals and systems analysis. In A Practical Approach to Signals and Systems, Sundararajan details the discrete version first followed by the corresponding continuous version for each topic, as discrete signals and systems are more often used in practice and their concepts are relatively easier to understand. In addition to examples of typical applications of analysis methods, the author gives comprehensive coverage of transform methods, emphasizing practical methods of analysis and physical interpretations of concepts.

• Gives equal emphasis to theory and practice
• Presents methods that can be immediately applied
• Complete treatment of transform methods
• Expanded coverage of Fourier analysis
• Self-contained: starts from the basics and discusses applications
• Visual aids and examples makes the subject easier to understand
• End-of-chapter exercises, with a extensive solutions manual for instructors
• MATLAB software for readers to download and practice on their own
• Presentation slides with book figures and slides with lecture notes

A Practical Approach to Signals and Systems is an excellent resource for the electrical engineering student or professional to quickly gain an understanding of signal analysis concepts - concepts which all electrical engineers will eventually encounter no matter what their specialization. For aspiring engineers in signal processing, communication, and control, the topics presented will form a sound foundation to their future study, while allowing them to quickly move on to more advanced topics in the area.

Scientists in chemical, mechanical, and biomedical areas will also benefit from this book, as increasing overlap with electrical engineering solutions and applications will require a working understanding of signals. Compact and self contained, A Practical Approach to Signals and Systems be used for courses or self-study, or as a reference book..
