We live today in the digital age wherein everyone looks for information on the internet. Websites, social media, and emails are the most powerful channels today that companies focus on with their marketing efforts. So, it comes to no surprise that they’ve overlooked the power of letterbox marketing.

The overall idea of letterbox distribution is very simple, you take a printed marketing material of your product or service and leave it in people’s letterboxes. It is simple and it is an effective way to gather leads.

The Appeal of Letterbox Marketing

One of the major appeals of this is that since it is delivered directly to the person, it somehow feels more personal. The materials can be tailored further based on the area and demographic they will be sending to.

Much like in email and other digital campaigns, letterbox distribution marketing can be targeted despite what others might think. This is because you also get other information such as demographic data and the address provides a location which can be used for proper targeting as well.

Another appeal of letterboxing is the fact that every household has a letterbox. In essence, it can reach everyone! Unlike with digital assets, there are some people who are not tech savvy yet or they choose not to participate in anything digital. This is not a problem for sending a flyer into their letterbox because they will surely see it.

In Australia, physical catalogues have been a staple for so long. This has become a normal, and even expected, part from many businesses especially supermarkets and retail chains.

Also, today’s technology allows for very sophisticated designs on paper like never before. Vibrant colours, unique elements, and new materials provide a wide range of options for letterbox marketing and for your marketing material to leave a lasting impression on the customer.

Last but certainly not the least, letterboxing is wide open nowadays. Since most companies have transitioned to digital and are fighting for every piece of ad space they can find there, people’s letterboxes have become uncluttered. This opens up a huge possibility for your business to send a promotional material and be sure that people will find it and get their attention.

Running a Letterbox Marketing Campaign is deceptively straightforward.

This is not to say that letterbox distribution marketing can replace any other digital or print campaigns. The point is that there is a huge opportunity with letterboxing and can even be a great compliment to any other marketing campaigns that you do.

This can be done by first, having a single voice on your communication. Everything should be consistent from naming conventions to prices and other important information. Next, the design should be unanimous as well and people should know they are looking at the same company when they see your flyer and your website.

Overall, the trick to running a letterbox marketing campaign is to have the right material. It should stand out and it should be useful for your target audience. And at Direct Mail Solutions, we can help you achieve exactly that. With over 15 years of experience, we are experts in bulk mailing and direct marketing.

Direct Mail Solutions is proud to support Melbourne businesses with a comprehensive letter drop service that makes it simple and affordable for our clients to advertise their business in print format. This week, we look at some of the reasons why so many Melbourne businesses choose to take advantage of our letter drop service.

Focus on core competencies

Choosing to outsource your letter drop requirements enables you to focus on growing your business and leaves the logistic aspects of a direct mail campaign in the hands of experts. As a specialised mail house, Direct Mail Solutions has the resources, experience and skills to ensure your letter drop campaign is professionally executed.

Quality

The average Australian household receives less than two unaddressed promotional items per week, so it’s far more likely that a customer will read your promotional message on the walk back from the mailbox as opposed to opening one of the dozens of spam emails they receive every day.

Cost effective

Outsourcing your letter drop requirements is generally much more cost effective than doing it yourself as it saves time as well as printing, and delivery costs.

How to Keep Your Existing Client Base Loyal With Mailbox Marketing

Posted on by allisterfreeman@gmail.com

In today’s commercial environment of two week free trials and introductory discounts, building up and retaining a loyal client base is easier said than done. Although many businesses still dedicate a substantial proportion of their marketing budget to sustaining clients, making the jaded modern consumer feel appreciated and retaining their interest can be a herculean challenge. The modern consumer responds well to things that are unique, unexpected, and personalized. These are all characteristics which you can incorporate into your mailing strategy to charm your customer. Below are a few ways you can remind a loyal customer that they are valued.

Textured paper and quality graphics

With a plethora of flimsy advertising material and blurry promotional graphics showing up in our mailboxes everyday, its little wonder that many of the catalogues and flyers sent out are immediately relegated to the recycling bin. Try distinguishing your correspondence from the rest by investing in higher quality materials or graphics. Sending a vibrant, glossy postcard with a bold design can help catch your customer’s eye and make them feel as though you are investing in their interest. Similarly, investing in high grade paper can further enhance the tactile appeal of your promotional material and specialized effects like pop outs and scalloped edges can also help restore the reputation of your brand in the mind of your customer.

A small gift or token of appreciation

Gifting your client something as a reward for their patronization is a great way to make them feel valued. There are many studies which testify to the power of promotional gifts, rewards vouchers and loyal client discounts when it comes to improving your brand image, boosting sales, and increasing client retention.

Personalisation

Everyone likes to be recognized as an individual. Let your client be surprised that you remember their birthday, the anniversary of their signing on with your business or even their nickname. Using customer data to send the personalized promotional material or product information is a great way to make your customers feel appreciated, recognised, and cared for.

Don’t let your direct mailing strategy become lost in a sea of of stock standard roll-outs; instead, invest that little bit extra and keep your customers excited when they open their mailbox and see a letter from your company. When your customers are pleased to hear from you, you’re more likely to hear from them.
