Is Direct Mail dead in 2019? Not with Plastic Postcard Mailers!

Is Direct Mail dead in 2019? It’s far from it, actually. Direct Mailers are thriving more than ever, especially plastic postcards. “House lists boast a 9% response rate on average, while prospect lists receive an average response rate of 5%. That’s a 173% increase since 2006 for house lists and a 194% increase since 2006 for prospect lists” -MailShark. Direct mail is increasing ROI rates, while digital marketing only offers 1% back in ROI. Direct mail plastic postcards attract new, loyal, and returning customers. Direct mail plastic postcards are memorable, responsive, genuine, and are extremely targeted.

Memorable

USPS found in a recent study that our brains are more receptive to printed mail marketing by 20%. Customers respond well to things they can touch and feel. It has been proven that a physical copy of a message will stand out to a person rather than a pop-up ad on their screen. Plastic postcards leave great first impressions on their recipients. The professional and creative marketing piece is like a magnet to consumers. It is simply impossible to ignore something that is in your hands. ValCards’ plastic postcards allow businesses to make a great impression on consumers and become a returning customer.

Response

Forbes states, “…the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) analyzed Bizo and Epsilon data and found that direct mail achieves a 4.4% response rate, compared to 0.12% for email. Overall, the DMA found that direct mail’s response rates are actually anywhere from 10 to 30 times higher than that of digital.” The article went on to say that consumers don’t respond well to cluttered mail, such as email and spam mail. Direct mail plastic postcards come envelope free with your message fully visible. The myth that digital marketing killed direct mail does not exist. Direct mail plastic postcards have always worked, and now better than ever. Plastic postcards seek more results and ROI than any other digital marketing source could offer.

Genuine

The UK Royal Mail’s study found that direct mailing pieces left receivers impressed and valued. Consumers who receive a real and personal plastic postcard in the mail, they feel valued. Therefore, they are more respondent compared to an unthoughtful email that ends up in the trash. It is proven that 57% of people feel valued when they receive mail. People want to feel real and cared for. A great tool that ValCards offers is personalization. Using variable data, you can print each homeowners name on your plastic postcards.
