In an article at MarketingProfs, Dean Rieck says a direct-mail campaign might be just what you need to drive targeted online traffic to your website. “According to the 2009 Channel Preference Study by ExactTarget,” he notes, “direct mail influences 76% of Internet users to buy a product or service online.”
Here are some of Rieck’s tips for successful integration in your print/online campaign:
Want to get your business-to-business prospect’s attention? Done the right way, good old-fashioned direct mail can be a key part of your strategy.
Chief Marketer magazine recently talked with Michele Fitzpatrick, senior vice president, strategy and insights of The Agency Inside Harte-Hanks and Kevin Kerner, managing director of Mason Zimbler US, for ideas on incorporating direct mail into a B2B multichannel marketing strategy.
The Fundraising Standards Board’s claim that complaints about charity email campaigns rose 282% last year (MWlinks.co.uk/ EmailFundraising) ties in with a report from across the Atlantic, published recently by Dunham and Company, which highlights that people who make donations via charity websites are three times more likely to have come via direct mail (17%) rather than email (5%).
While it is understandable that cost-cutting has led to many charities opting for email over direct mail campaigns, they would do well to remember that consumers really are multichannel, even if brands are not.
