A Complete Strategy
Direct mail should be viewed as part of a broader strategy. We ask and consider a range of ancillary questions, such as:
- What is the action we want the target audience should take?
- What visuals will appeal, provide confidence in the buyer and motivate action?
- What digital integration can we consider, such as a website, email list or other resources ?
- How can we create a sense of scarcity and/or urgency to entice the action we desire?
- and more…
