Targeted Direct Mail Is Not Junk Mail image

According to one recent study, the average household in the United States gets about six pieces of junk mail every single day. In fact, every five days we collectively produce enough junk mail to literally reach the moon. Junk mail as a concept doesn't just damage the environment (roughly one billion pounds wind up in landfills each year, after all) - it also damages the legitimate direct mail marketing efforts that companies like you are engaged in every single day. Shattering The Myth of "Junk" Mail One of the most critical things for you to understand about junk mail is that it is NOT a term used to describe any and all marketing collateral that someone happens to get when they ...

Customer Retention Strategy Matters image

If you need proof that a customer retention strategy should be a critical part of any business, consider the following statistic: it costs as much as five times as much money to attract a new customer than it does to keep an existing one. When it comes to a task as important as this one, there's a reason why many marketers said that direct mail is still one of the most commonly used customer acquisition channels - it's a precise, emotional and effective way to continue to manage those essential relationships at exactly the right moment. Customer Retention Is About Relationship Management One of the most important things to understand about your customer retention strategy is that you need to make sure that you're building ...

Using Direct Mail to Drive Digital Engagement image

In a lot of ways, one of the biggest mistakes that far too many marketers still seem to make involves thinking about print and digital collateral as two totally separate concepts. They may have started out that way, but there is absolutely no reason why they need to exist separately any longer - especially when you consider that they're essentially just two sides of the same basic coin. In fact, many businesses are enjoying tremendous success by using one technique to feed into the other, leveraging the power that only direct mail can provide to actually drive newer and more organic levels of digital engagement. You can do this with your own campaigns, too - you just need to keep ...

Direct Mail is Tangible image

While it's certainly true that digital marketing is all the rage these days, a number of recent studies have shown that direct mail marketing and other types of print collateral are more popular (and more effective) than ever. A lot of this comes down to the fact that direct mail, by design, is something that even the best piece of digital collateral can never and will never be: Tangible. It exists in real life. You can hold it in your hand. Share it with your loved ones. Make no mistake, this is one of the most valuable assets you have access to for a variety of different reasons. A Bird in the Hand... Think, for just a moment, about how many emails you get on ...

Direct Mail Marketing is Far From Dead image

To paraphrase one of the great American authors of all time, "the reports of the death of direct mail have been greatly exaggerated." Yes, it's true that today's marketing world is highly focused on digital methods and avenues like social media or email. However, what you might not realize is that even though everyone carries a smartphone around in their pocket with them all day long, direct mail is STILL continuing to outperform digital in almost every way on a consistent basis. It's true. According to one recent study, direct mail marketing yields an average response rate of 5.1%. Email comes in at just .6% and social media comes in at a slim .4%. Not only that, but for every $167 that ...

Developing the Right Business Plan Marketing Strategy For Your Organization image

When it comes to marketing, there are often two schools of thought depending on who you talk to. The first says that you should focus on your business first, marketing second. The second insists that this is faulty logic from the jump - that marketing isn't separate from your business, but is instead an organic extension of your business, what it represents and what it's working towards. It always has been, and it always will be. In terms of developing the right business plan marketing strategy to meet your needs, it's safe to say that this is a concept that is very much worth exploring. It All Comes Back to a Purpose The most important thing for you to understand about your business plan ...

The Power of Fitness and Health Club Marketing: Breaking It Down image

According to one recent study, there were 53.2 million people who were members of health or fitness clubs in North America in 2009. Flash forward just a few short years to 2016 and that number had already grown to 63 million members. Essentially, this tells us two things. First, people are actively interested in their own health and health clubs in general are becoming more popular all the time. Second, when it comes to generating the membership leads that any organization needs to survive, fitness marketing is and will always be your number one asset in that regard. The Art of Fitness Marketing: Breaking It Down In an era where over 70% of adults in the United States are either overweight or obese, ...
