Direct mail marketing is a marketing technique that is designed to get a particular message directly in front of an individual consumer/customer. Traditionally, this technique would involve sending out mail in the post to the target, usually directly addressed to them, in the hope that they would open the letter and read and act on its contents.
Direct mail marketing has changed quite a lot in recent years. To a certain extent you can also include email marketing in this term nowadays as it works on the same principles but uses online despatching techniques rather than ‘snail mail’. As with traditional techniques this kind of direct mail can involve the sending of general information, brochures and special offers, for example.
The techniques used here have also had to change in recent years because consumers have got wise to these kinds of sales pitches and have become less likely to open, read and act upon the messages that they are sent. In recent years we have seen an increase in the development of personalised mail and mail that is branded to look more ‘important’ than it actually is. The aim here is to make the customer think about opening the direct mail piece rather than just ignoring it.
