3 DIRECT MAIL GIVES YOU A DECIDED EDGE You determine the best audience for your message. You can personalize each mail piece. You can learn more about your customers by including surveys or questionnaires.
4 DIRECT MAIL GIVES YOU A DECIDED EDGE You have a high degree of financial flexibility by altering formats, quantities and postage options. You decide on the depth of product detail mail is not limited to a 30 second TV spot. You benefit from mails pass-along value recipients can share your communication with like-minded consumers.
5 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT WORKS WHEN YOU RE NOT Whether you are sleeping, vacationing, working, or walking, your direct mail is working for you. It gives your best sales presentation over and over again without you having to be present.
6 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT LEVERAGES YOUR EFFORTS Do you want to know how to waste your time? Give your best sales presentation to one person at a time. Send out thousands of letters and your best sales pitch is being presented to thousands of people simultaneously.
7 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL ALLOWS YOU TO TARGET WITH PRECISION Instead of sending your message to people who may or may not be interested or even qualified to take advantage of your offer, direct mail allows you to pinpoint the people who fit your psychographic, demographic, and geographic profile.
8 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL YOU GET AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE Once you send out your direct mail piece, it doesn t take long to get a response. Within one or two weeks, you ll receive approximately 80-90% of all those who are going to respond.
9 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT S RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE It s amazing what you can get into a small envelope for $.44 (single piece First-Class). Photos, newspaper articles, letters, special reports and more can be put in business size envelopes. This means you can reach 100 target prospects for only $44.00 comparatively speaking that s a bargain!
10 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT S EASY TO TRACK YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT You can t afford to waste a single penny on ineffective marketing. With direct mail marketing you can code your mailpieces to determine the exact number of responses you receive from each campaign.
11 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT GETS ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION Unlike billboards or radio, and TV commercials that get your attention while two or three other things also have your attention, direct mail is opened one piece at a time and read one piece at a time. This gives you the best chance of catching your prospect s attention and keeping it for a period of time.
12 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT S PERSONAL With direct mail, you can address your customers by name, speak to them individually, and appeal to their interests. Technology now gives you significant customization and personalization options.
13 REASONS WHY DIRECT MAIL IS POWERFUL IT S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN TOUCH AND FEEL-IT HANGS AROUND You can hold direct mail in your hand. It s not made of electrons that can be deleted with the twitch of a finger. It s not a radio frequency signal that is here and then gone a moment later. It is physical. It is something that can hang around for a period of time. It has lingering marketing effects!

41 JUNK MAIL VS DIRECT MAIL Terms used interchangeably? There are two different entities IF YOU HAVEN T PUT YOUR PACKAGE INTO THE RIGHT HANDS, YOU VE WASTED MONEY GETTING IT THERE. Junk Mail is nothing that can t be cured with a decent mailing list.
42 USPS SURVEY FINDINGS: Mail reaches business professionals. Business mail doesn t get screened as aggressively as e- mail is filtered. Business people keep useful mail in a mail library a file, drawer, or on a bulletin board. Mail helps people make decisions. When it s time to make a purchase, find a supplier or attend a professional event, professionals may turn to their mail libraries.
43 Sending a direct mailing is like owning a retail store: the longer you keep your potential customer in the store, the more likely he/she is to make a purchase. Example: Publisher s Clearing House they hide the free prize stamps deep in the package the longer you look for them, the more likely you are to find something you like and place an order.

45 DIRECT MAIL DO S AND DON TS DO explore the option of consulting with a direct marketing agency to strategically add mail to your integrated media campaign. DO consult your USPS Account Manager for tips on how to improve your mailings and maximize savings on postage. DO feature an offer prominently on the front of your mail piece to boost readership and response. DO choose the format, list, and offer for highest ROI, rather than lowest cost.
46 DIRECT MAIL DO S AND DON TS DO track responses to measure the effectiveness of the mail piece.

DON T clutter a mail piece with too much copy or graphics so your offer or call to action gets lost. DON T mistake income for interest just because people can afford your product doesn t mean they want it. DON T assume you know what your customers want or need use your mail piece to ask them directly.
49 DIRECT MAIL DO S AND DON TS DON T mark your pieces urgent when they are not customers feel misled and will likely ignore your message in the future. DON T waste time and costs update your mailing list and eliminate bad addresses before each campaign.

Personalize your message to increase relevance and reduce waste. Use recycled paper with as much recycled content as possible. Use chlorine-free paper.
