Personalized direct mail marketing

While direct mail can be a great way to get your message in front of potential customers, many direct mail campaigns are ineffective because they’re not personalized. Marketing campaigns work better when they are targeted to the customer. 

Postalytics helps you personalize every aspect of your direct mail campaign so that it’s more effective at driving conversions and leads. We let you create custom templates for each piece of your marketing materials, including postcards, letters, and even envelopes.

Postalytics’ easy-to-use templates make it simple to craft an eye-catching design that will stand out in a cluttered mailbox. Combining our software tools and expertise in print design helps companies boost their conversion rates!

Personalizing your direct mail campaign at scale can be tricky – how do you add specific variable data to each postcard or letter when running an extensive campaign? Postalytics leverages variable data to add information to your direct mail as it’s being printed so that each piece can be personalized to the recipient.

How to personalize direct mail in bulk

There are a few ways that mass direct mail can be personalized, but the most common method is through the use of mailing lists. Mailing lists can be divided into two categories: compiled and rented. Compiled lists are created by searching through public records, such as voter registrations or magazine subscriptions, to find addresses that match certain criteria. Rented lists, on the other hand, are made up of contact information that has been purchased from a third-party company. Once a list has been selected, it can then be sorted according to certain criteria, such as age, gender, or income level. This ensures that the mail will be delivered to recipients who are most likely to be interested in whatever product or service is being offered. 

How can direct mail be personalized?

The most common way to personalize direct mail is to use the recipient’s name. This strategy is used because a person is more likely to open a piece of mail that has their name on it. Adding even more customer information such as their address, age, or interests will increase response rates even higher. Other ways to personalize mail include using different fonts, colors, and graphics that reflect the recipient’s personality or interests. A particularly effective strategy is to create special offers or coupons that are specific to the individual recipient. The more personalized a piece of direct mail is, the more likely it is to stand out and be opened. With Postalytics, you can utilize our variable printing data to import your audience data and customize the mail piece with name and information statements based on location and much more.
