14. You can buy paste-on dots, stars, smiley faces, and so forth, from an office supply store. Place these on your envelopes.
15. Large mail order companies occasionally place some type of solid object inside their envelopes. For example, specialty advertising companies use inexpensive pencils, pens, plastic pocket calendars, etc. You can also use this idea. For best results, try to tie the object in to your offer.
