Direct Mail: Trusted, Timely, Effective

Nearly 376 billion emails are sent each day globally. Almost half of those are considered spam and usually never make it to the intended recipient. Because of this, email open rates have declined dramatically in recent years.

Despite the ever-evolving world of technology in which we live today, direct mail marketing continues to be a powerfully effective method of reaching targeted audiences.

Statistics show that approximately 70% of mail recipients prefer direct mail advertising because they can read it at their convenience. In addition, it has a longer “shelf life” than digital marketing efforts, and brand retention is often greater.
