The Impact of Using Direct Mail to Boost Online Purchases image

While it's absolutely true that more and more people are engaging with brands over the Internet these days, that doesn't mean that direct mail is dead - far from it. In fact, even if you operate a business exclusively online, there are still a wide array of different benefits that the right direct mail campaign can bring to the table that would be difficult to replicate through other means. Leveraging Direct Mail to Your (Online) Advantage One of the most important benefits of executing a thoughtfully constructed direct mail campaign ultimately comes down to what it can do for your response rate. According to one recent study, about 67% of millennial parents and 53% of millennials in general say that they're ...

Win Customer Loyalty By Showing Your Appreciation image

Maybe the most important thing to understand about running ANY type of business is that it always costs more to generate new customers than it does to retain your existing ones. Because of that, you need to win your customers' loyalty whenever and however you can. More often than not, this means showing your gratitude - even during those times when you don't necessarily "have to." Thankfully, this process is less the product of one major move and is more about a series of smaller, more strategically timed ones. All of this effort can pay major dividends down the road, too. An Investment in Your Customers is an Investment in Your Future Maybe the most obvious way to show your gratitude to ...

Maintaining Customer Loyalty and Brand Awareness for Retail Businesses image

Part of your success as a marketer has less to do with your ability to attract high volumes of customers and is more about getting the attention of the right kinds of customers. Loyal customers, to be more precise, are the bread and butter of any business. What would you rather have - a steady stream of one-time buyers who make a purchase and then never return, or a small but loyal army of passionate brand advocates who come back again and again? Obviously, you want the latter - which is absolutely where your direct mail efforts come in handy for your retail business. If you truly want to leverage collateral like direct mail postcards to maintain customer loyalty and brand awareness, ...

Expanding Your Reach Beyond the Grid: Effectively Reaching Prospects image

Although it can be easy to assume that 100% of your target audience is connected to their digital lives all day, every day, recent studies have shown that this isn't necessarily the case. In fact, as many as 10% of Americans live in areas that are deemed "off the grid" in the first place - that is, in places where they don't have regular or reliable access to the Internet at all. Plus, more and more people every day are scaling back their digital presence due to security concerns, among other issues. So how does your retail location or franchise reach these people when an email isn't necessarily as reliable as you think it is? It's simple - you use direct ...

Thanks to social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram, influencer marketing has become the new norm. Because of this, most campaigns target one audience in particular: millennials. However, savvy marketers know that for true long-term success, you need to target EVERY generation... and direct mail campaigns are how you do it. Beauty Marketing for the Modern Era: Breaking Things Down While it's absolutely true that social media and online influencers have recently taken the lead in beauty marketing, there IS still ground to be regained - it just doesn't ...
