The benefits of this approach are clear and impactful. First and foremost, you get a higher return on investment (ROI). By reducing the number of mailers sent to uninterested parties, you cut down on printing and postage costs, ensuring that your budget is working harder for you. Second, you’ll see increased response rates. When a mailer feels personal and relevant to the recipient’s life, they are far more likely to open it and act on your offer. Finally, a targeted approach improves your brand’s reputation. You’re no longer seen as a company that sends generic junk mail, but as a brand that understands its customers and speaks directly to their needs.
So, how do you get your hands on one of these powerful lists? There are two primary routes. You can build a list organically by collecting contact information from your website, events, and lead magnets. This is a great long-term strategy, but it can be a slow process.
