Direct Mail Is Not Dead
We talk about open rates, click-throughs, ‘cutting through the noise’ and crafting email subject lines that will capture attention. How much post does your office receive?
How much mail do you receive at home? H&M and Matalan both have catalogues that they send out to members, non-profits are well-known for sending appeal letters and they kept doing it so it must be working! Have you seen an increase in mail from broadband and telecoms companies?
Which industries use direct mail the most?**
Estate Agents
Car Dealerships
Charities/Non-Profits
Marketing & Advertising Agencies (of course!)
Schools
Medical Offices (GP, hospital letters etc)
Direct mail and your marketing
As opposed to a 20% open rate for email; 77% of consumers sort through the post as soon as they receive it!
“67% of Americans considered physical mail more personal than the internet. Direct mail can be a great way to communicate sincerity and establish relationships.” We didn’t find a fact for the UK, but we agree it is more personal right?*
Who doesn’t prefers to receive a birthday card through the post rather than an e-card? Do you see the e-card or does your spam filter make that decision for you?
“An estimated 306 billion emails are sent and received every day in the world, but many of us still get delighted when we receive tangible items in our mailbox, such as postcards, letters from friends, and even direct mail marketing materials.” (Duplo International)
