Direct Mailing

Direct – often the most effective marketing communication is direct mail. We find our clients targeted audience, then concept and execute direct mail communications designed specifically to break through the clutter.

Why Direct Mailing?  

Direct mail advertising has been a tried-and-true marketing technique for decades, and for good reason.

While digital marketing has taken over in recent years, direct mail still offers unique advantages that cannot be replicated online.

In a world where consumers are bombarded with countless digital ads on a daily basis, a physical piece of mail can stand out and grab their attention in a way that no digital ad ever could.

With carefully targeted mailing lists and compelling graphic design, direct mail can be a highly effective way to reach your target audience and drive conversions.

So, if you’re looking for a way to break through the noise and make a lasting impact on your customers, direct mail may be the perfect solution for your business.

Speaking of breaking through the noise, check out our podcast: Ep. 13 – Brand Talks: Breaking Through The Noise.

While the rise of digital marketing has given businesses a wide range of new channels for reaching customers, direct mail still offers unique benefits that can’t be replicated online.

For starters, direct mail has a higher chance of being noticed by recipients, as physical mail often stands out in a mailbox compared to crowded digital inboxes.

Direct mail allows businesses to target specific demographics or geographic areas, making it a highly effective tool for local businesses or those with a niche audience.

Direct mail campaigns can also be personalized and tailored to the interests of individual recipients, further increasing their effectiveness.

Finally, direct mail can be easily tracked and measured, allowing businesses to evaluate the success of their campaigns and make data-driven decisions for future marketing efforts.

Who’s it for?   

Direct mailing advertising can be a powerful tool for companies looking to reach their target audience with a personalized and impactful message.

Marketing Directors, marketing teams, and companies can benefit from direct mail campaigns by using them as a way to connect with customers, drive sales, and ultimately bring growth to their organizations.

Here’s how:

Companies  

According to the Data & Marketing Association (DMA), the response rate for direct mail to existing customers is 9%, compared to just 1% for email.

They may never click an email link, but they may look up your website because of the flyer they got in the mail.

So if your company is looking for something that can make a big difference, this may be the way to go for you.

Don’t know how to do direct mail?

That’s why we’re here.

Let’s get you up and running and boost your ROI.

Speaking of which, the DMA also found that the median ROI for direct mail campaigns is 29%, outperforming other marketing channels like online display ads and social media.

Whether you’re a lawyer, a small business, or a big company, direct mail can help you grow.

REA JET  

In the lumber industry, coding and marking are vital to track products throughout the supply chain.

However, hand-stamping lumber is still a common practice among many companies, which can be inefficient and time-consuming.

Our direct mail advertising services were able to help REA JET, a company that offers high-resolution printers, by creating a dimensional mailer that showcased their capabilities and how their new print heads outperformed traditional methods.

Our professional advertising team successfully created a powerful impact for our client despite working with a limited budget.

Our creative expertise, combined with our in-house resources, resulted in a campaign that resonated well with our client’s target audience and positively impacted sales.

Our Capabilities  

Direct mail remains one of the most effective types of advertising, with higher response rates and return on investment than digital channels.

In direct mail advertising, there are a variety of tasks that we can help you with in order to maximize impact.

These include:

  • Drafting creative content: Direct mail pieces should be engaging and persuasive, with compelling copy that emotionally connects with the reader. They should also be aesthetically pleasing, featuring images, customized logos, or graphics that draw attention and increase engagement.

  • Developing targeted campaigns: Direct Mail should be tailored for specific audiences in order to maximize its effectiveness. Direct Mail campaigns should be segmented based on demographics (age ranges, gender, location), interests or buy patterns (previous purchases or website visits) in order to deliver personalized messages that appeal directly to certain groups of people.

  • Analyzing performance: Direct Mail pieces should be tracked using unique identifiers such as codes or URLs in order to measure response rates, return on investment and other metrics. This data can then be used to optimize future campaigns for even better results.

  • Optimizing messaging and offers: Direct Mail campaigns may also include offers such as discounts or free trials in order to entice readers into taking action. Offers should also be tested over time and optimized based on their performances relative to other offers included in the campaign.

  • Identifying new leads: Direct Mail pieces can also be used to find new leads by including unique incentives that encourage readers to provide contact information such as email addresses or phone numbers for follow up. This will help expand an organization’s customer base and grow their online presence through additional channels like email marketing or social media outreach and media planning.

By integrating direct mail into your existing advertising efforts you can create synergies between digital and traditional channels that will help you truly stand out from your competitors while achieving greater success than ever before.

MORE Direct Mail Advertising Capabilities:

  • Targeting: Direct mail advertising can be targeted to specific demographics or audiences, allowing businesses to reach their ideal customers.

  • Call to Action: Direct mail advertising can include a clear and compelling call to action, encouraging recipients to take action such as making a purchase, visiting a website, or calling a phone number.

  • Measurability: Direct mail advertising can be easily measured through response rates and ROI, allowing businesses to track the effectiveness of their campaigns and adjust as necessary.

  • Branding: Direct mail advertising can help to build and reinforce a brand image or brand name by using consistent branding elements and messaging across campaigns.

Our Process  

Step 1: Discovery & Creation Strategy  

The process for direct mail advertising is an important part of ensuring its success.

It begins with identifying the target audience and desired outcomes, as this will inform all other steps in the process.

Once a successful strategy has been determined, the next step is to create engaging content that will appeal to the target audience.

This content can include effective visuals, compelling copy and persuasive offers that encourage readers to take action.

Direct mail pieces should also be personalized according to the target audience’s preferences and interests in order to maximize engagement.

Step 2: Printing & Sending  

After creating the content, a mailing list must be compiled of individuals who would most likely be interested in the product or service being promoted.

Direct Mail campaigns should also be segmented based on demographics (age ranges, gender, location), interests or buy patterns (previous purchases or website visits) in order to deliver personalized messages that appeal directly to certain groups of people.

The pieces should then be printed and mailed out using a reliable packaging and carrier service.

Step 3: Tracking Performance & ROI  

Once all the Direct Mail pieces have been sent out, it’s important to track their performance using unique identifiers such as codes or URLs so that response rates and ROI can be accurately measured.

Direct Mail campaigns should also include offers such as discounts or free trials in order to entice readers into taking action.

Offers should also be tested over time and optimized based on their performances relative to other offers included in the campaign.

Direct Mail pieces can also be used to find new leads by including unique incentives that encourage readers to provide contact information such as email addresses or phone numbers for follow up.

This data can then be used alongside existing data sources to gain further insight into customer behavior which can help optimize future Direct Mail campaigns even further.
