The Importance of the List

Although every single part of a direct mail marketing campaign is important, many agree that the list of people that you send the direct mail piece to is the most important. It doesn’t matter if you’re sending invoice printing, statement printing, card mailers, or postcards, if the right people aren’t getting the pieces, they are a waste of time and money.

In the blog entitled, “Five Tips to Improve Your Postcard Marketing,” the customer service department of Galleria Ventures agrees with this point. According to them, “The most important factor in any direct mail campaigns’ success is the quality level of the list of customers or potential customers you are sending your items to.”

The Importance of Postcards

How important is the design and content of a postcard sent out by a company? I feel as though postcards aren’t given enough credit for the impact they have on a business’ marketing plan, and it looks like there are others who agree.

In a blog entitled, “5 Tips To Grab Attention with Business Cards and Postcards” on Fresh Web Content, the author compares the importance of postcards to that of business cards in regards to how a company is perceived by others. According to the author, “Business cards and marketing postcards are many times the first item a prospective customer receives from a business. In a few seconds that first item will establish whether the customer believes there is further value in learning more about your business.

Which Direct Mail Piece is Right for You?

There are many different direct mail marketing pieces to choose from. What works for one company won’t work for the next. Some find success by adding advertisements to their statement printing and invoice printing while others get a better response by mailing card mailers and postcards.

In a blog entitled, “The Marketing Potential of Postcards,” Charmaine Joy Caro suggests the use of postcards to market products and services and to get in touch with potential customers. According to Caro, “They are versatile and very cost effective. Aside from that, postcards are easy to read. These wonderful qualities of a postcard make it a truly undisputable marketing instrument that any business should utilize.”
