A Brief Overview of Direct Marketing
Reaching customers through direct mail channels is big business. Currently over $30 billion dollars is spent on direct marketing in the United States each year, a large percentage which goes to Direct Mail. It’s an effective way to establish a one-to-one personal relationship between a potential buyer and a seller, and it can be a compliment to your overall marketing efforts.
A direct mail package can be designed to make an instant sale, open a dialogue between the potential buyer and seller or simply inform the potential buyer about a particular company's product and/or services. Whatever the desired outcome of a direct mail effort, one fact remains - direct mail is even now a proven and cost effective way to reach customers.
DIRECT MAIL CAN BE FOCUSED.
- Mass Media such as television, is more of a shotgun approach to a large, diverse universe of potential customers. Direct Mail on the other hand, can be targeted to a single individual at a single address. The degree to which that individual is a potential customer, having a specific set of criteria, is a function of which list you use.
DIRECT MAIL SALES CAN BE PREDICTED WITH ACCURACY.
- By carefully testing and tracking responses on a small scale, you can effectively predict the revenues resulting from a large-scale campaign. In addition, the results of a direct mail campaign can be measured with precision.
DIRECT MAIL ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER.
- Direct mail makes it easier for a customer to make a purchase in a number of ways. For example, you can alert potential customers of a new product or sale items before they come into your store. You can also include an order form and complete the entire transaction through the mail.
DIRECT MAIL IS ECONOMICAL.
- Depending upon the magnitude and complexity of a given campaign, direct mail can be a cost-effective vehicle to reach a sizeable audience of potential customers on an individual basis.
