Direct Mail Services

by Amy Hall

Direct mail services really run the gamut in terms of different facets to this type of marketing. For instance, there is direct mail marketing, which entails sending out mass mailings through the mail to potential customers. Usually, companies will have flyers or brochures or newsletters printed out, and then they will send these materials through the mail.

As you can imagine, direct mail services can be costly. You have to pay for printing, paper, postage, and even return postage. The average cost for such an ad campaign runs from $750 to $1000, and rarely elicits more than a 1-2% response rate. That means you would be spending close to one thousand dollars just to market your products and/or services, only to get around 10 to 20 responses in total. That's a pretty hefty investment for such a small return.

Other Direct Mail Services

An alternative solution to this dilemma is bulk email services, which essentially send out a mass email to all the consumers who have expressed an interest in receiving promotional materials via the Web. Optin email is a better answer to direct marketing because it costs much less, and it only takes approximately 2-3 days from start to finish for the ad campaign. In addition, you can track all the responses you get when you use optin email.

Being able to track your responses also allows you to see which demographic segments are responding to your emails. Knowing this important information can help you to tailor your ad campaign to increase your overall sales volume.
