This is down to a multitude of reasons including the fact that it’s now less frequent to receive mail and there’s an overload of information online. Forbes states also that across the globe direct mail is thriving as 77% of millennials ‘pay attention to’ and are more likely to ‘read and show their mail to others’ than any other generation. It’s now cool and rather vintage to engage with print marketing, especially when it’s printed using ethically sourced, recyclable and reusable materials.

Instead of a standard paper flyer why not send something out that can be reused as part of your customer’s journey in buying your product or service? We can help.

Let’s break it down. Your direct mail campaign could be present in your customer’s homes for up to 38 days compared with them seeing it ONCE online as a Facebook advert or on other channels. But remember, as part of a multi-channel marketing strategy if your customer sees your print campaign followed by heading online and seeing your advert there you are increasing the frequency that they see your product. Thus they WILL be more likely to recall your brand and therefore purchase your product or service as you are top of mind in comparison to your competitors.

Print Can Be Innovative Too

Print allows you to reach your customer in their home. It cuts through the digital noise and prospers a more personable, memorable relationship with your campaign and your audience. Through direct mail, you are using a different angle to reach your audience that has a HIGH rate of ENGAGEMENT increasing your lead generation.

AND it can be innovative too whilst interacting with your online campaigns. Have you thought about using creative shapes that deliver impact for your brand and demands attention? Or QR codes to link directly to landing pages and videos? Or even short links and 1800 numbers unique to your print campaign? All of these contribute to being able to track the success of your advert.
