Direct Mail’s Role in Multichannel Strategy
Once a prospect receives a mail piece, they are more likely to recognize and interact with your brand and messages in other channels.
Direct mail is also a great tool to keep your audience engaged. Send a personalised piece to share special offers with current customers, re-engage with past customers, or connect with social media or email subscribers who are not yet customers.
