Direct mail continues to be one of the most effective marketing tools for generating new business.
It can also be used to develop an on-going relationship with customers to maximise their loyalty, value and consequently, profitability over time. In this digital age when everyone is blogging, watching viral videos and updating social networks, why consider sending a humble postcard? Because it works. Professional marketers still believe in the power of direct mail and so should you.
- Mailing each month creates strong front of mind awareness.
- The more consistently mailers arrive the better the response will be.
- It’s estimated that a prospect must see a message nine times before they will decide to purchase. That’s nine impressions to build the credibility, confidence and trust needed to make a sale.
- Direct mail should be done alongside eshots, social media and not forgetting speaking to your customers directly, to really get your message across.
