Why Direct Mail?
Direct Mail Works!
With so many options to include in your marketing mix, why would you consider an old-school medium like direct mail? Because it works.
We don’t just go online these days… we live online. But that’s just it. We spend so much time in front of screens. We use spam filters, we delete promotional emails, we hit “Skip Ad” without a thought; making it a challenge for advertisers to get our attention through digital means.
A balanced marketing mix and blending high-tech with traditional media is a strategy that’s more important now than ever to reach your target audience.

Your message. Your market. Direct Mail.
Direct Mail Gets in the Door
The USPS reports 98% of us bring our mail in the day it’s delivered, and 77% of us sift through it immediately. Even if we don’t spend much time with it, we’ve looked at it, touched it, and have made a decision about what to do with the information. This creates familiarity, opening the door for other forms of advertising to resonate.
Direct Mail Hangs Around
A direct mail piece has a longer ‘shelf life’ than an online or email ad. A postcard may be seen by multiple household members, a catalog or publication is likely to hang around even longer. The chances of your message getting through to your audience is higher with direct mail, simply because it tends to linger longer.
Direct Mail is Flexible
Your direct mail campaign can introduce your company, products & services, promote an event or short term promotion. It’s your message, include what you want. With online media, your message must be extremely brief, and with email your message often doesn’t penetrate past the subject line.
It Gets to the Right People
Successful marketing campaigns hinge on the ability to reach your target market. direct You can mail to your own personal list, or purchase a list by selecting a geographic target, demographic group, or specific consumer crowd. You can personalize your message, making it even more effective.
Boosts Other Media & Sales
Direct mail plays well with other media. The Direct Marketing Association reports that the use of two marketing channels increases customer value up to 60%. The USPS reports that catalog recipients account for 22% of web traffic and make 15% more purchases than those who do not receive catalogs. Direct your target market to your website, Facebook and other marketing channels, ultimately converting your targets into paying customers.
