Direct Mail Campaigns - Direct Advantage
Tangible branding resonates with prospects and delivers high conversion rates.
Results, Unfiltered
Marketing emails can get filtered to spam or tossed into junk before the recipient reads the full subject line. But direct mail has an impact companies feel—with more inquiries, sales, and brand support. Inch Creative can give your business a direct mail advantage with a tailored program that gets results.
Rising Response Rates
We look forward to checking the mailbox every day—at least 41% of Americans do, and that includes 36% who are younger than 30 years old. Millennials might be more tethered to devices than consumers in previous generations, but this is one reason why direct mail is so effective even among digital natives. Thirty percent said direct mail inspires them to take action vs. 24% for email.
>>The response rate for direct mail is 9 times higher than email—a landslide win for mail you can touch, feel and relate to, if the branding is done right.
Open to Your Brand
Studies show we appreciate learning about new offerings by direct mail from brands we trust. Plus, direct mail sticks around and is usually kept in a household for 17 days on average.
>>Up to 90% of direct mail is opened vs. 20-30% of emails.
