Benefits of printing and mailing
letters to your customers

High Reach

Unlike emails and online ads, letters can get to your customers without any interruptions as no one can mark them as spam or block them completely. No matter how much effort you’re putting into your marketing campaigns, it’s futile if it has bad reach. Hence, you should invest in direct mail as it’s a wiser option available to grab your prospects’ attention.

Plus, it has a comparatively higher open rate, so your message is bound to be seen. From there on, increasing your response rate is your responsibility. You can do it easily by personalizing your mailpieces and sending them to a highly targeted audience.

Targeted

In the past, direct mail marketing was a big hassle. Every time-taking and tiresome task needed to be done manually, and still, there was no specific way to track the campaigns. However, with an automated API, like PostGrid, you can launch your direct mail marketing campaign just like an email campaign.

With this automated API, you can send a number of mailpieces to a highly targeted audience.

Impactful

Direct mail letters tend to leave a positive impact on your customers and prospects as they’re tangible and people feel valued receiving them—especially, when they’re personalized.

No boundaries

Direct mail marketing can help you reach a wider audience and still allow you to build a personal connection with people due to personalization and the extra efforts involved in it.

Personalized

Despite the number of direct mail letters you want to send, with the help of PostGrid, you can customize them all and send them to the verified addresses.

You can not only get your customers’ details like their names’ initials on your mailpieces but your own brand details. For example, from getting your logos and website URL to your company’s name and other information printed, you can get it all. You can leverage this feature to increase your brand awareness and improve your relationship with your customers.

Value

Almost every business and company is sending emails and running online ads these days. But if you’d take an extra step and send your customers the personalized direct mail letters, your customers and prospects would appreciate it and feel valued. This way, you can expect them to return the favor and get a boost in your response rate.

The Type of Letters That You Can Send

Welcome or Thank You Letter

The first email or the letter that you send to your customers tend to receive the highest open rate. Leveraging this fact is a great idea to build good bonds with your customers and engage them for a better response.

Products or Events Promotion Letters

Direct mail with better headlines can help you get a great response rate and way more business than you can expect. This advantage is mainly because of the great exposure that direct mail gets. Eventually, it provides you a better open rate and response rate. Hence, you can also use them for promoting your events along with the products and solutions.
Its tangible personality will help spread the word easily and efficiently.

It’ll help them remember your company, increase your brand awareness, and repeat business.
