Direct mail is a form of advertising in which physical mail pieces (letters, postcards, brochures, catalogs, etc.) are sent directly to potential customers. It’s a form of outbound marketing that allows brands and businesses to reach a large audience and personalize their messages to target specific demographics. The use of technology has made it easier to create targeted mailing lists and personalized messages, which leads to higher response rates to direct mail campaigns.
As technology has evolved, direct mail marketing has integrated with online marketing efforts and data analysis techniques to continue to grow to improve targeting and personalization.
Today, direct mail is still widely used by businesses of all sizes, though it has evolved to include more advanced techniques such as variable data printing and geotargeting. Direct mail marketing is now used with other digital channels to reach customers and generate sales. Higher response rates are generally achieved when using multiple channels.
