Direct mail can have a massive impact on your audience. However, this relies on how well you choose to construct it. Last year a report from the Royal Mail showed that 83% of people surveyed preferred to receive direct mail than E-mail- contrary to popular opinion, people still enjoy receiving ‘old fashioned’ mail!
Creating your Campaign
Not sure where to start? Research into your best-selling products, find what your customers are most attracted to and create an offer they can’t resist based around that information- 62% of consumers enjoy receiving mail that contains relevant offers! Not many people enjoy reading through lots of pages of information and can easily lose interest, so make sure your content is direct and to the point, make it fast and easy for them to take advantage of what you’re offering them.
Creating your mail for your company can seem like an overwhelming task, particularly if it’s something completely new to you. There’s a lot to think about when creating your winning campaign, so it’s important to spend time planning and preparing to guarantee its effectiveness. However, some companies do not have the time or the resources to do this themselves, which is why choosing a mailing house that offers a complete end to end service, saving time, stress and money, is a fail-safe plan.
