Getting In The Game

How Can You Get A Slice Of This Profitable Business Opportunity? Here Are Key Tips For Succeeding In Direct Mail.

Data Expertise Is Key:

Develop or acquire a fundamental understanding of how to work with data and what data your customers have at their disposal. If none exists, help them build a database through loyalty programmes, surveys, promotions or list purchasing. Emphasise the connection between data, message relevance and results.

The Right Infrastructure:

Ensure a well optimised workflow by investing in the right prepress and production suite. With these tools, variable jobs can be created in a matter of minutes instead of hours or days.

Practise What You Preach:

Create a cross-media direct mail campaign for your business. Consider incorporating variable data, PURLs, mobile-optimised landing pages, high-impact graphics or QR codes to not only “wow” your audience, but also show off your unique capabilities.

Challenge Your Sales Team:

Hire or train sales people to become trusted advisors by strengthening their understanding of customer business objectives. Selling strategically focused direct marketing services is very different than selling traditional print. Remember, your customers aren’t buying print, they’re buying results.
