We walk the attendees through everything they need to know, from simple solutions to more complex projects, such as modeling their existing database to identify prospects that most resemble their best existing customers.”

More on Direct Mail Marketing

Direct mail is one of the most effective types of advertising a business can do today. According to the Mail Moment^™ research gathered by the USPS, 98 percent of consumers bring in the mail the day it is delivered; and according to Target Marketing Magazine’s 2013 Media Study, the channel that delivers the strongest ROI for customer acquisition and retention is Direct Mail.

With the new technologies available in direct marketing, today’s smart marketers are learning how to better integrate new media and social media marketing, including Facebook, Twitter and other social networks, with traditional mass media, print and direct mail campaigns to maximize the effectiveness of their advertising dollars. Lead generation and customer acquisition is one of the most coveted aspects of marketing, but it must be successfully targeted to the right customers. Direct marketing and direct mail services can be a very powerful and cost-effective sales tool when done properly, whether you are a small business, medium-sized company, or a large corporation.
