Direct Mail Part 5: Increasing effectiveness

The final instalment of our Direct Mail series is just some quick hints and tips that can increase your mailshot effectiveness.

  1. Change the headline on your letter. Your product may not change but your opener can
  2. Change the timing of your mailshot. By varying the day of the week we increased readership of our own e-mailer by over 20%.
  3. Focus on a different product benefit each time to see what works best
  4. Get the right message to the right people. Send different messages to different people based on demographics
  5. Include a brochure as well as a letter.
  6. Include a free gift. It can convince people to respond
  7. Learn from experience. Use your direct mail to improve your data
  8. Offer a payment option such as interest free credit
  9. Provide an early bird incentive. Prompt early action by limiting the time an offer is valid for
  10. Offer a number of ways in which people can get in touch.
