Yes, direct mail marketing remains a highly effective and cost-efficient way to reach your target audience and attract customers. Encompassing a wide variety of advertisement materials, from brochures, newsletters and catalogs, to postcards and sales letters—direct mail campaigns achieve impressive results.
In fact, research shows that direct mail marketing delivered to consumers' homes or businesses remains even more successful than those countless single-click emails cluttering up your inbox. (Even if there's a cute puppy or kitten attached.) There's plenty of reasons why, too.
Optimized postage strategies, specialized hand-assembly operations, customized graphic designs, personalized messaging, seamless tracking, high-volume rollouts, expeditious turn-around times, digital printing presses, and computer-verified match-mailing and address verification services all combine to create an affordable, laser-focused approach to contact and acquire customers.
We've all been there: Inundated with dozens upon dozens of unsolicited emails promising huge savings on everything from clothing and foodstuffs to household appliances and discounted events. All you gotta do is click.
Which do you open? How do you know if there's a virus or some nasty spyware attached?!
The problem is, you can't, and these are just some of the issues that could cause pause for concern among would-be patrons. Others include over-saturation, low-quality content and "serious trust issues."
Direct mail marketing alleviates these and many other distractions.
Both studies indicate consumers who are overwhelmed by inboxes loaded with unwanted emails are much more receptive to physical, highly targeted direct mail marketing materials. Recipients never have to guess who's sending them—and there are never any unfortunate surprises once opened. This genuine, one-on-one communication also enables the sender to tailor the time, place and content of their message, for maximum results.
Direct mail marketing literally provides recipients with real, physical takeaways—whether catalogs, brochures, fliers, coupons, or more. These can be opened and perused immediately or at a later date. They can be kept at home, or taken along on their daily treks to the office, supermarket, mall—anywhere they choose. Possessing real, tangible products that can also be shared with friends and family members goes a long way with customers tired of endless and often suspicious emails making unsubstantiated promises.
Direct mail marketing products convey clear, concise messages. Recipients do not require a digital device or Wi-Fi to read them. There are no questions about who sent them, or what they're offering. Recipients can open and peruse them at their leisure, wherever they choose. Simple language and meaningful content speak volumes to potential customers, and communicate intentions clearly and without the inherent risk of computer infection or digital identity theft.
Personalization and customization elevate direct mail marketing efforts far above their digital counterparts. Expertly crafted, meaningful designs and messaging resonate with recipients and leaving long-lasting impressions. It's these specialized, thoughtful details that set such efforts apart from the never-ending torrent of cookie-cutter emails flooding consumers' inboxes or consistently blaring across social media platforms and websites. Direct mail simply has more character.
