In a world in which digital marketing dominates, the power of physical mail is often underestimated. By cleverly combining print and online marketing, you can optimise your marketing mix and make a greater impact on your target group. But why does mail work so well and how does it strengthen your strategy?
Why post is an essential part of your marketing mix
An effective marketing mix consists of multiple channels that reinforce each other. Direct mail and physical post play a crucial role in this because:
- High attention value – a post stays in your mind longer than a digital advert or email.
- Personal touch – A physical piece of mail feels more personal and exclusive.
- Higher response rates – Research shows that direct mail has a higher conversion rate on average than email.
- Tangible experience – A physical mailing activates multiple senses and therefore sticks in the recipient’s memory better.
How do you integrate post into your marketing mix?
By using mail strategically, you create a powerful marketing mix that increases your conversions. Here are some ways to make optimal use of mail:
- Combine with digital campaigns – Use post as a supplement to your online advertisements and email campaigns.
- Personalisation – Use data to personalise your mail and make it relevant.
- Call to action reinforcement – Use QR codes or personalised landing pages to measure the response.
- Timing and segmentation – Send your mail at strategic moments and focus on specific target groups. Want to know how you can do that? We’d be happy to advise you!
Practical examples
Successful brands integrate post in clever ways in their marketing mix. Think of retailers who send discount codes by post, or B2B companies that send high-quality brochures to generate leads. The combination of online and offline ensures greater involvement and a stronger customer relationship.
