Direct Mail Marketing

Why Choose Direct Mail Marketing?

Direct mail marketing is a unique and memorable way to connect with your target audience in a world inundated with digital messages. It provides a tangible, physical interaction that
stands out in a consumer’s mailbox
and can be personalized to resonate
with recipients.

Direct mail allows for creative, eye-catching designs and a variety of formats that enable businesses to reach potential customers in a meaningful way. It also boasts higher response rates than digital marketing and can be precisely targeted, minimizing unnecessary spend and reaching the right people.

With the right strategy and campaign management, direct mail marketing can complement digital efforts, driving
brand awareness, engagement, and conversions. Its ability to leave a
lasting impression makes direct mail a valuable and versatile tool for any marketing campaign.

A Tangible Marketing Piece

One of the most important benefits of direct mail over digital marketing is that it gives consumers a tangible marketing piece that they can hang on their refrigerator and refer to again. Finding a digital ad after a few days (or weeks) can often be next to impossible.

Direct mail is kept in a household for 17 days on average (Mailmen)
73% of American consumers say they prefer being contacted by brands via direct mail because they can read it whenever they want (Epsilon)
Direct mail recipients purchased 28% more items and spent 28% more money than people who didn’t get that piece of direct mail (USPS)

Mail is Used Less Than Email

While most consumers are swamped with email marketing messages, most people get relatively few direct mail marketing pieces these days. That means your piece will have a good chance of being read, rather than deleted with a mass of other marketing emails.

Up to 90% of direct mail gets opened, compared to only 20-30% of emails (Data & Marketing Association)
57% of email addresses are abandoned because the users receives too many marketing emails (Marketing Profs)
Only 44% of people can recall a brand immediately after seeing a digital ad, compared to 75% of people who receive direct mail (Marketing Profs)

Mail Works with Digital Marketing

You don't have to choose between direct mail and digital marketing. In fact, some of the best marketing campaigns interweave both of these marketing forms. For instance, your direct mail piece can refer consumers to your website or social media pages.
