Direct Mail has its Advantages

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Advertisers like direct mail for several reasons:

Direct Mail takes the advertiser’s message directly to the consumer.
With targeted mailing lists, advertisers can send their message to specific groups.
Direct Mail puts the advertiser’s message in the hands of the consumer at home where they read all their mail.

Direct mail is not without its problems. Over the years, direct mail also became known by another name: junk mail. Some consumers were tired of receiving numerous ads in the mail each day. Many threw away the suspected ad-filled mail.

Since consumers may have a tendency to throw away mail associated with ads, marketers were challenged to ensure consumers were reading their ads.

That’s why at YourAdTeam, we specialize in producing top-notch over size postcards that don’t have to be “opened” to grab the recipients’ attention.

Now’s the best time ever to develop your direct mail campaign.  Let’s talk.

Why is Direct Mail Better?

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Political direct mail provides uniquely targeted opportunities.  Television, newspaper and radio can be targeted to a degree but only direct mail can be micro-targeted.

When mail is relevant to the voter you need to reach… it’s not junk mail!  Political mail needs to be compelling, creative, on-message… but most of all, political mail must end up in the right hands.

Political direct mail that is well-crafted will:

  • Convey a specific message pinpointed to unique voter groups.
  • Build personal rapport between the voter and the candidate.
  • Inspire voters to take action.

Since 1997, YourAdTeam has produced and mailed nearly 4 million pieces of direct mail. What can we mail for you?

Is YOUR Mail Getting Read?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Want to make sure you’re mail gets read? The following Do’s and Don’ts will certainly increase that chance:

  • Do use a stamp vs. a bulk mail endicia.  Open rate on envelopes with physical stamps is 13% higher.
  • Do make your letter look like newsworthy content.  Content gets read, not advertising.
  • Do attach news articles blown up to fit on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper as an attachment to your direct mail piece.  If you are using a card vs. letter, use 6″ x 9″ stock or larger.
  • Do not use any “special offer inside” language on your envelope or “hey look at me” advertising techniques when using a letter envelope.
  • Do not use an adhesive address label.
  • Do not use an 8 1/2″ x 11″ letter in B2B direct mail, but do use A4 or executive sized stationary – higher read rate and higher response rate vs. full sheet letter.
