THE IMPORTANCE OF MEASURING RESULTS

Tracking direct mail responses is important for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to determine the effectiveness of your direct mail campaigns. By tracking responses, you can see how many people are engaging with your mailers, which gives you valuable insights into your campaign’s performance.

Additionally, tracking direct mail responses helps you measure your return on investment (ROI). By knowing the number of responses and calculating the revenue generated from those responses, you can evaluate whether your direct mail campaign is cost-effective. This information is crucial for future decision-making and budget allocation.

Furthermore, tracking responses enables you to refine your targeting and messaging strategies. By analyzing the characteristics of those who respond to your mailers, you can gain a better understanding of your target audience and tailor your future campaigns accordingly. This allows you to increase the likelihood of attracting qualified leads and converting them into customers.

In summary, tracking direct mail responses allows you to measure campaign effectiveness, determine ROI, and refine your marketing strategies. It provides valuable data-driven insights to optimize your direct mail efforts and improve your overall marketing performance.

KISS! Keep It Simple, Seriously!

When creating your messaging for direct mail, remember to Keep It Simple…Seriously! Make sure your offer is clear, the call to action you are seeking is concise, and don’t forget the basics! Make sure your piece includes your name and address. If it’s brick & mortar, add a map.  Make sure the phone number and website are correct too!

BE SURE TO INCLUDE AN OFFER

According to Smallbiztrends.com, 75% of their survey respondents say they are likely to use coupons they received in the mail — even more than those who plan to use coupons received by email or found online.

Be sure to include an offer with your direct mail campaigns. You can create a sense of urgency; time-sensitive offers can get customers into your store during off times of the week. Offer a discount on multiple purchases. These types of offers increase sales and allow for easy tracking of return on your campaigns.
