How To Make Direct Mail Work For Your Brand

Direct Mail Can Work for Your Brand…Here’s How

Direct mail is experiencing a resurgence in popularity and as Tim English, VP at Superior Business Solutions, explains there are a lot of reasons to put a direct mailing to work for your brand. Direct mail stands out because they are a tangible piece of your brand that your customers and potential customers can hold in their hands. This allows your brand to build a rapport with your customers.

To understand the value in direct mailing pieces you need to consider the alternative. Consumers are bombarded with emails and social media interactions, and while there is certainly value to these forms of outreach it can be easy for people to tune a lot of these messages out. Between work and personal accounts people have multiple email addresses. How many do you have? On any given day, consumers just like you will receive numerous emails and at a certain point it’s just quicker and easier to delete these communications instead of reading through them.

It’s All About Direct Mail

Direct mailings are not so common these days so when someone receives a direct mail piece, it is sure to stand out. Direct mail is different in a good and memorable way. Studies have shown that 53 percent of consumers will read a direct mailing, while only 26 percent of consumers read emails. This is a significant difference between how consumers respond to emails as opposed to direct mail but the tricky part is getting consumers to respond your message.
