Direct mail marketing is an important part of business practice, even in the digital age. It is important to view every communication with your clients as a direct contact.
While email blasts and social media postings are now an integral part of any marketing campaign, your business must not neglect direct mail.
The Direct Mail Advantage
Many businesses are foregoing direct mail, and this is a mistake. If you not only continue the process, but increase your efforts, you will stand out above the crowd. You will have a distinct advantage in getting your communications seen by potential clients. When people receive direct mail, they are guaranteed to at least handle the packages, to look through the envelopes.
With social media postings, people scroll past. With email blasts, they can be caught by spam filters and simply deleted. Direct mail envelopes are held and seen and the client must make a decision to open or ignore.
Impact and Economy
With a postage rate change going into effect, you need to make certain that the client makes the choice to open your envelope. You cannot afford to spend money on your direct marketing campaign only to have the package tossed out, unopened. You also cannot afford to forego the advantages of direct marketing.
This leaves many business owners in a conundrum. How can you get the best return on investment (ROI) for your direct marketing campaign? Is it better to not take the risk and just stick with low-cost digital communication? The answer is no. If you stick with email blasts and Facebook postings, you end up just another face in the masses.
