Direct Mail Marketing
Direct mail is a highly effective marketing strategy which combines physical printed materials such as letters, postcards, brochures, or packages with targeted direct marketing. The targeted mailing list is delivered to businesses or households within a geographic region and is utilized for both B2B and B2C sales and marketing.
Advantages of Direct Mail Marketing
Direct mail builds trust. A recent study provided by Marketing Sherpa asserts that 76% of people trust ads/catalogs that they receive in their mail. Direct mail builds trust and has better response rates than email and other digital/social media marketing tools.
