Direct mail proves time and time again to be an effective marketing tool. Often, its effectiveness is compared to that of technological advertising tools. However, the real attention needs to be on the value of direct mail combined with the latest technology.
A recent article by Forbes discusses three ways in which direct mail and technology work together to form an awesome duo. When a business combines the power of traditional print with the latest tech tools, they ensure the most effective reach and impactful messaging available. Maximize your marketing dollars with a happy marriage between direct mail and high tech.

Create human connections with consumers ready to act
Direct mail allows advertisers to create a human connection. Each direct mail piece delivers a thoughtful offer that is real and tangible directly to a consumer’s doorstep. To track the conversions, technology allows us to use QR codes, call tracking, or custom URLs as tracking mechanisms. Never waste another dollar by measuring all advertising efforts with tracking data. With the high flexibility and reasonable cost of direct mail, you can easily redirect campaigns into more responsive platforms and maximize your ROI. Get them in the door, give them an unbelievable customer experience, and stay in touch digitally and through the mail to create a happy customer for life!
Don’t let technological advancements scare you away from direct mail
Potential customers can be overwhelmed by the clutter of online. Direct mail gives you a person’s mailbox, almost to yourself! When combined with technology, you separate yourself from the crown with multiple touchpoints directed to your ideal customer.
Direct mail is still around because it works! Personalized and thoughtful messaging is delivered direct to someone’s doorstep in a tangible fashion that can’t be ignored with a simple click. Remember to embrace the new, while sticking with the tried and true.
