If direct mail is an area of your marketing plan that you have ignored, you are sitting on a tremendous source of untapped assets that you can immediately turn into additional profits. Direct mail can be an important asset for growing your business, thanks to its relatively low cost, its ability to reach specialized target groups, and its ability to provide immediate and measurable results.
Direct mail is a powerful tool because it gives you direct access to your target audience. It affords you the opportunity to create relationships with new clients and generate additional business from existing clients. A beautifully-designed postcard with a timely message gives all pet owners a glimpse of who you are and what you can do for them. Compared to other types of marketing media, direct mail is considered to offer the most cost-effective way of achieving the highest possible response.
I admit it: I love print. Nothing compares with the beautiful type, the exquisite colors and the bright, engaging images that are seen in a well-crafted printed piece. You just can't get this same effect using the internet! "But," I hear you asking, "what does this have to do with direct mail?"
For too long we've had a tendency to view e-mail and direct mail as distinct and opposing marketing entities. This might be true if we lived in a world where only one medium existed. But the truth is we use both. And no matter how attached we are to our computers, we're not going to stop using paper.
Print and internet-based marketing (email newsletter), when used together, can provide a better experience for your clients and, correspondingly, a better result for you. When used together, they enhance the professional nature of your marketing message. Many high-end companies today are communicating with their clients first by email, then following up a week or two later by direct mail.
