What is Your Direct Mail Marketing Piece Missing?

When you’re standing in line at the grocery store and decide to pick up one of the many magazines available to keep you entertained while you’re waiting, how do you decide which one to look at? If you’re like me, you look at the headlines to decide whether or not a magazine will contain information that is interesting to you or not. This same type of thinking goes for direct mail marketing.

In Lesson 7 of the blog entitled, “The 8 Critical Components of a Successful Direct Mail Marketing Campaign,” the author says that you need an interesting headline in order to get people’s attention. According to the author, “One of the reasons we all toss direct mail out so quickly is because it doesn’t interest us at all. Don’t use boring headlines and gimmicks. Use a headline that catches someone’s eye without insulting their intelligence.

Direct Mail Marketing Headline Tips

Every part of a direct mail marketing piece is extremely important because they all impact the customer’s decision on whether or not to act on your offer. One of these important factors is the headline.

In order for a headline to be successful, it needs to get the customer’s attention and help convince them to read on. In the blog entitled, “Five Tips to Improve Your Postcard Marketing,” GV Custserv says that your headline needs to be “scanable”. According to the author, “A postcard advertisement only has a brief moment to capture the reader’s attention. That brief moment, which has been referred to as the “golden glimpse” — is the moment when your postcard is grabbed out of the mailbox and either goes on the desk or in the trash. An attention grabbing headline which communicates a primary benefit for your targeted recipients is the key to getting the potential reader to read on.”

Views on Direct Mail Marketing

While there are those who question the future of direct mail marketing, others believe that it will always have a place in the marketing world.

On the website www.businessstrata.com a blog entitled, “Businesses Urged to ‘Encourage Involvement Through Direct Mail” talks about the possible increase in the use of direct mail marketing by companies to market their products or services.

Mailing postcards and card mailers or including advertisements in your invoice printing, statement printing, and even collection notices is a great way to stay in touch with customers and stay a step ahead of competitors. Try a mailing of your own before you believe anyone who says otherwise.
