In a competitive market, mail order companies have to shout very loudly to be heard above the din of online retailers. Direct mail has been shown to be more effective than email marketing. A Canon trial revealed that a 500% higher response rate can be achieved just by adding:

• a person’s name
• full colour imagery and
• using sophisticated database fields

Mail order companies will benefit from direct mail

Direct mail or email?

With information overload being cited by 70% of the UK according to Digital Doughnut, it’s important to grab the attention of your audience and hold it long enough for them to read your marketing materials. Colourful inserts really help to ensure that customers can get to know your brand.

Here are some statistics comparing email and direct mail:

• 74 trillion emails are sent every year in comparison to 13.8 billion letters, so the email market is a much more crowded one.
• Only 44% of people receiving email marketing compared with 77% remember receiving direct marketing emails.
• Direct mail also generates 34% new customers when compared with emails 24%.
• Consumers are 79% more likely to act immediately when they receive direct mail than when they receive an email.

Engage your customers with direct mail

Using oversized envelopes has been found to increase response rates by 6.6%, these can be effective if you have bulky mail inserts in the form of catalogues, leaflets or product information. Postcards also rate highly at 5.7% response rates and less, so do letter-sized envelopes at 4.3%. This being the case, consumers will pay much more attention to tangible direct mail.
