Direct Mail Marketing Level Up | Futch Printing and Mailing

The talk in marketing these days is all about social media, whether it?s Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or thousands of other sites.

The end of ?snail mail? marketing has been highly exaggerated. In fact, direct mail statistics show that self-mailers, postcards, and newsletters and much more, are still relevant to the consumer and effective.

Marketing Sherpa released a chart that shows that direct mail is still considered a very important part of any business to business marketing campaign. It may not be as trendy as social media, but it most definitely does work.

?Of the 1000+ B2B marketing professionals surveyed by Marketing Sherpa, 79% found direct mail to be either effective or very effective. Some sectors find direct mail especially useful to their business; 34% of business services organizations in the study found direct mail very effective. However, only 13% of companies in the business technology categorized direct mail in this way.?

The key to success in direct mail is relevance to the consumer and repetition. In the direct mail statistics above, companies in business technology probably find that direct mail isn?t the best way to educate their customers about their products. However, companies that focus on business services find that their customers respond to direct mail.
