It offers a unique opportunity to make a lasting impression and stand out from the digital noise.



Creative designs

Get creative

Using physical mail allows you to provide your customers with memorable advertising materials whilst including a clear call to action. With many forms of communications available you can create a memorable design that represents your brand image. Different occasions call for different styles of advertising and with direct mail the sky is the limit.



Stand out from competitors

Less competition

With this type of mail being a more traditional form of marketing, a lot of companies now overlook the power of physical mail. Lots of businesses leverage the power of social media and email marketing and forget to focus on highly intimate communications. By taking the time to create a memorable and highly personal campaign, it will speak volumes to your customers.



Call to action graphic

Call to action

Whether you’re running a digital or physical campaign, a call to action is a must have for any marketing campaign. A call to action is a selling point or reason for the customer to engage with your brand. For example, you could provide a QR code to allow customers to easily view your new product line. Instead, you could provide a discount code to prompt customers to make a new purchase.

Other options include providing physical products such as gift cards. You can even send unactivated gift cards which only have a monetary value after the recipient completes a survey.



Follow up SMS

Follow up

To generate a better response from your mail campaign, we recommended that you follow up using a different channel. This could be an SMS message, a phone call or an email, depending on what contact details you have available. This gives your campaign credibility and reminds customers of the message that you’re trying to send.



Digital communications

Digital Solutions

If traditional mail solutions don’t suit your target audience then there are plenty of digital options available. Emails are a very common marketing tactic and if you have a good mailing list they are usually a cheaper alternative. Social media can also be very effective for increasing website traffic and conversions. We don’t recommend limiting yourself when it comes to sharing your message – the more channels you can utilise, the better.
