Direct mail: the marketing channel you might have missed

Looking for a new angle for your marketing? Direct mail can complement your digital activity. Plus it’s simpler and more affordable than you think.

In a world of social media and booming online businesses, it’s tempting to focus your marketing on digital channels. That would be a mistake - mail stands out because it’s tangible, personal, and it’s proven to drive results. So, whether you want to reach new customers or engage those you’re already doing business with, sending physical mail is a proven way to create maximum impact. What’s more, it can really complement your digital efforts.

Simple steps for planning direct mail

  • Consider what you are sending
  • Think about what message you want to convey
  • Decide if you want to use other channels alongside mail
  • Consider the role of your mail piece in context of wider marketing activity
  • Ensure you have clear objectives
