Direct mail: A future of opportunity

In an era when digital distraction is almost crippling, marketers are finding the need to be more in tune and connected with their customers. Direct mail is a powerful tool for making that happen.

21% Less

Direct mail takes 21% less cognitive effort to process than digital marketing because it’s tactile and “real”, which leads to longer-lasting emotional connections and brand recall.1 In addition, it has longevity. Recipients tend to keep it around.

These benefits are amplified when print includes relevant, targeted personalisation and embellishments. This explains why six out of ten marketers still prefer direct mail over other offline channels and continue to include it in their direct marketing strategy.1
