Direct mailing involves marketing activities addressed to directly reaching potential clients through specific mail communications. Each marketing campaign exploits the classic postal service to reach their destination.
WHAT DIRECT MAILING IS NOT
Strictly related to all direct marketing activities, but not to be confused with other similar ones, such as:
- email marketing: : the marketing message is sent via email
- telemarketing: telephone sales of products and services
- mobile marketing: advertising campaigns sent via mobile phone
One of the worst outcomes of a direct mailing campaign is due to imprecise postal management which, in turn, is due to imprecise IT systems and client databases.
A poorly managed campaign can be counter-productive as duplicated mailing, incorrect names and addresses, failed deliveries, create various problems, the most obvious being:
- waste of money (for failed deliveries)
- bad reputation (with potential customers, who receive two or even three of the same communications)
- inability to verify the campaign (if we don’t know who effectively receives the message, we are unable to assess the effectiveness of the campaign)
