2 Boost Take steps toward closing the sale by pairing channels from different marketing categories Your Mailing Results! Surefire ways to make every direct mail dollar count PICKING Did you know that 22% of consumers base their purchase decisions on information they receive in the mail?* That s great news for marketers. But with increasing pressure on marketing budgets, you still want to make every direct mail dollar count. Here are three overlooked ways to boost your mailing results and maximize your investment. 1. Address correction. According to the U.S. Postal Service, 5% of standard mail is thrown away because it is undeliverable as addressed (UAA). In other words, there is something wrong with the address (misspelled street name, address uses Road instead of Court, etc.), so it never reaches its destination. How does this impact you? Let s say you are using a segmented, personalized mailing to announce a new location. Assuming it is a bestin-class lead generation campaign, according to PODi s 1:1 Response 2 THE RIGHT PARTNERS Rate Report, it should generate according to the USPS, 17% of around a 10% response rate.

3 Think Multiple Channels Everywhere you look, marketers are talking about multichannel marketing. Direct mail is paired with . is paired with social media. Pointof-sale displays are driving SMS responses. Why the emphasis on so many channels? Because it works. Part of the reason is repeated exposure and reinforcement of the message. Another is that different channels play different roles in moving customers along the sales funnel. can find moves that are not reported Experian to Marketing, for example, places channels in one of three categories: the USPS and can often correct greeter address (creating brand awareness), influencer (generating interest), and closer changes as far back as 15 (getting years.

4 Stay in Touch Create long-term relationships with loyal customers by reaching out after the sale Do you talk to your customers only when you want to sell them something? If so, consider extending the conversation. Customers are more loyal when they feel that you care about the relationship, not just the bottom line. Here are three ways to keep the conversation going. 4 Offer tips and tricks. Take a tip from your realtor. If you ve continued to receive postcards even after you ve purchased a home, it s not an GARDENING TIPS oversight. It s part of a growing trend of long-term customer retention that other market verticals can learn from. Realtors often send postcards every few months or at the change of seasons. They might offer suggestions for improving the curb appeal of your home, tricks for spring decluttering, or ideas for winterizing your garage. What does this have to do with home sales? Everything. Fully half of 18- to 24-year-olds still live at home, and at some point, will move out on their own. Young couples expand their families and upgrade to larger homes. People retire, change jobs, and experience other life changes. A realtor can have a relationship with an individual,

5 couple, or family over a lifetime. Then there are referrals. At some point, friends, family, and neighbors will be looking for a realtor. When asked how they found their real estate agent, 43% of all buyers and 41% of all sellers said they were referred by a friend, neighbor, or relative (National Association of Realtors). Realtors want to maintain that relationship so you will recommend them. The real estate vertical is on to something. Are you? REFERRAL Follow up with declining engagement. By using simple data mining techniques, you can determine which of your customers are engaged and reach out to those who are not. This gives you the opportunity to re-engage lagging relationships before it s too late. Look at the fitness club industry. Gym owners know that if members aren t regularly attending, they are more likely to cancel their memberships. For this reason, many follow the 21-Day Rule. If someone doesn t attend within 21 days, the gym reaches out by direct mail, , or personal follow-up. Others will follow up after 30 or 60 days of nonactivity. This is a lesson all marketers should take to heart. Once a pattern of non-engagement becomes entrenched, it s much harder to change. Fix it before it s too late. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Send greetings at critical anniversaries. Don t be afraid to say hello. Send personalized notes and postcards at critical anniversaries, such as birthdays or the date someone first becomes a customer. Some companies do this by , but personalized cards and letters have far more power. There is something more touching about a beautiful personalized message that arrives in a printed envelope than Happy Birthday! in an 8-pt. electronic subject line. Everyone wants to be noticed and cared about, and your customers are no different. Love your customers beyond the sale and they will love you back.
