Why Direct Mail Is Far From Dead–and How You Can Use It in Your Marketing

4 min read

Bij het op de markt brengen van een online winkel, Ondernemers wenden zich vaak tot digitale kanalen, zoals sociale media of e-mailmarketing. Verrassend, some marketing techniques considered outdated can be just as effective as digital marketing methods.

Given today’s oversaturated nature of digital advertising, business owners need to explore new ways of marketing their products and services… Or not so new. That’s why we invited David Fink of Postie to be a guest on our podcast and discuss the possibilities of direct mail marketing.

Direct Mail for Marketing

Marketing is an omnichannel game. When you use different channels, het helpt u uw bedrijf voorspelbaarder en met meer vertrouwen te laten groeien.

Postie is een technologieplatform voor kanaalbeheer voor direct mail. Zie het als een Facebook Ad Manager voor uw direct mail-campagnes.

De oprichters van Postie zijn overgegaan 20 jarenlange kennis in online advertentieweergave en marketingautomatisering. Ze hebben een platform gebouwd waarmee adverteerders op dezelfde geavanceerde geautomatiseerde manier met het direct mail-kanaal kunnen omgaan als met een digitaal advertentiekanaal.

Doelgerichtheid met Direct Mail

EDDM, or Every Door Direct Mail, is an inexpensive way to reach individuals through the mail in a very non-personalized, non-targeted way. Echter, targeting and personalizing according to your audience results in better performance, even if it costs a bit more.

In digital advertising, smart targeting has been game-changing. While you might need to spend a little more than normal, smart targeting uses segmentation and predictive mathematics to create a target population based on previous customers, or lookalike audiences. This eliminates a lot of the waste caused by sending advertisements to uninterested parties. Smart targeting can also help you understand who you’re engaging. Postie brings those game-changing possibilities to direct mail.

Direct Mail Execution

If you run direct mail with a traditional provider, it can take 60-90 days from the time that you have an idea for a direct mail marketing initiative to when your mail actually reaches potential customers.

Postie makes it possible to execute direct mail marketing initiatives in real-time (or as close to real-time as possible). They do so by using dashboards and software instead of phones and in-person meetings.

Measuring Direct Mail Performance

If you’re allocating a budget to execute a specific strategy that may drive a performance goal, you need to know if it worked so you can improve your marketing strategy moving forward.

If you’re capturing address data at the transaction point through your website, your mobile app, or POS, you can match that data to a person’s mailing addresses, at least during that time period. With Postie, that process can be automated to make it easier to reach interested parties or previous customers.

The Importance of Analyzing Your Audience

Whether you’re a late-stage successful business, or you’re just getting started, you should learn everything you can about your current and prospective customers. Hoe meer u inzicht krijgt in de verschillen die deze twee groepen individuen vormen, hoe beter je begrijpt wat resoneert met bepaalde groepen.

Als je dat eenmaal begrijpt, dan kunt u gaan nadenken over hoe u beter kunt communiceren via uw advertenties en advertenties. Vervolgens kunt u gaan nadenken over welke gegevensbronnen en mediakanalen u in staat stellen meer mensen te bereiken binnen uw op gegevens gebaseerde doelgroep.

In de aflevering, we bespreken de manieren waarop u direct mail kunt gebruiken om meer inzicht te krijgen in uw doelgroep, en gebruik het ook voor het promoten van uw product en diensten. Stem af om meer te weten te komen over deze vaak over het hoofd geziene vorm van marketing.

Ecommerce that has your back

So simple to use – even my most technophobic clients can manage. Easy to install, quick to set up. Light years ahead of other shop plugins.
I’m so impressed I’ve recommended it to my website clients and am now using it for my own store along with four others for which I webmaster. Beautiful coding, excellent top-notch support, great documentation, fantastic how-to videos. Thank you so much Ecwid, you rock!
I’ve used Ecwid and I love the platform itself. Everything is so simplified it’s insane. I love how you have different options to choose shipping carriers, to be able to put in so many different variants. It’s a pretty open e-commerce gateway.
Makkelijk te gebruiken, betaalbaar (and a free option if starting off). Looks professional, many templates to select from. The App is my favorite feature as I can manage my store right from my phone. Highly recommended 👌👍
I like that Ecwid was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
For everything it has to offer, ECWID is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommend! I did a lot of research and tried about 3 other competitors. Just try ECWID and you'll be online in no time.
