Personalised Direct Mail Campaigns – Are They Worth It?

If you are considering a direct mail advertising campaign, ensure your finished product is produced professionally and on-brand. Often marketing materials for a variety of businesses looking to communicate directly and personally with their client base and customer are not tailored specifically to the needs of their campaign. Our direct mail marketing services take the hassle out of implementing a successful direct mail advertising campaign by providing everything needed to get the most out of print and mail advertising.

Today’s fast-moving media landscape makes brand communication more competitive than it has ever been before. The variety of options available to contact your customer gives busy marketing departments the challenge of figuring out which option is going to be the most successful. At the heart of all of these different communications and advertising, platforms remain direct mail.

The Royal Mail went a step further by researching the effect of direct mail services on its customer;

“We’ve looked into consumers’ homes and found that mail lives a rich, complex and surprisingly long life beyond the doormat.”

Direct mail services still impact and affect consumers in a big way while producing a fantastic return on investment. Their research project, The Private Life of Mail, found several interesting and important facts about the validity of direct mail services.

• 39% of research participants have a place to display their mail in their home. This not only increases the chances of ensuring your mail is digested by the customer but also makes it visible to everyone in the household.
• Mail is shared between friends and family. On average 23% of mail is shared between people in a household while 21% of the promotional material and special offers are passed between household members also. This instinct to share direct mail reinforces the crucial importance of distributing a professionally designed and printed mailer.
• Emotional marketing impacts. 57% of participants claimed to feel more valued by receiving mail. Companies can benefit from this emotional response by using direct mail marketing services to bridge the gap between their brand and the consumer.

It’s clear to see that personalisation is the key to many direct mail marketing campaigns. Personalised direct mail in the UK is not seen or treated as junk and is often met with much more interaction among household members than any of the various emails constantly received throughout the day.

Millennials and Direct Mail – Do Millennials Respond to Direct Marketing Services?

With digital platforms quickly adopted by millennial and younger generations, it would be easy for a company with a younger demographic to brush-off the effectiveness of direct mail. Interestingly, research also suggests that millennials actually respond better to direct mail with only 15% ignoring their mail.

The younger generation represents a powerful and emerging demographic of consumers looking to connect with brands. Direct mail services in the UK are one of the most effective forms of doing this by distancing your company from the constant stream of digital ads and media-noise this generation is exposed to online every day.

Budget Direct Mail Services – How Much is Direct Mail Marketing?

A successful direct marketing campaign should expect to receive purchase orders between 4% – 6% of the contacted data. Postage marketing experts tailor services around your budget and with our response management team assist you in fulfilling the response from your customers.

Each UK direct mail marketing campaign service recognises the budget and size of each campaign. Our direct mailing experts help campaigns of all businesses maximise the impact and success of their direct marketing campaign.
