Direct Mail Marketing

Postal mail has survived the invasion of digital marketing because it has a lasting value.  It gets noticed and read — especially if it’s a postcard.  It provides a visual beyond a subject line.  It allows you to select your audience and it’s 100% measurable.  And, there are affordable ways to use it.

We’ve been using Direct Mail successfully for years. Look through what we have to offer and give us a call. We’ll put together a custom plan for your business that will target your customer, and work for your budget. Let’s talk! 828-545-9293

Solo Direct Mail/Targeted Direct Marketing

Your mailing piece stands alone. It is addressed to a specific person or household and you can target your exact market with laser precision.  You can select the geographic area (where); the demographic makeup (who); lifestyle/interests (why); and people going through a lifestyle change such as new moms, new movers, empty nesters (when).  There is no waste in properly targeted direct mail.  For business-to-business direct mail you can reach other businesses using information that is relevant to you. 

Saturation Direct Mail

Your product/service applies to everyone and you want to blanket an area.  Typically these mailers are addressed to “Residents”.

Coop Direct Mail

Your offer is included with others and packaged cooperatively to reduce cost of mailing.

Direct Mail 101

Four elements to a direct mail campaign: 

  •  Market – Who’s your target & how do you find them?
  •  Offer – What can you give a potential customer to get them in your door?
  • Package – What images do you use/how do you present yourself?
  • Timing – When is the best time to advertise/promote your business?

– Incorporate an action step so that results can be measured on the front end (initial response) & back end (conversion to sale or qualified lead)
– The mailing list is as important as the offer or the package
– Direct mail is especially effective for offers to the mature market or new residents
– Direct mail can be tested for less money than print, TV, radio, billboards, or other paid media
– Direct mail is the leading driver to the online experience
