Over the last several years marketing strategies have been changing. Although direct mail is still powerful and effective, and should be a part of everyone’s marketing toolbox, today’s customers expect a more personal approach when being contacted. One great way to personalize your customer mailings is to print cards and envelopes that are addressed directly to the recipients. What’s more personal than getting an envelope containing a card addressed to you in the mail? It is something that stands out from the norm, and it can let you send a personalized message that connects you and your business to your client.
Here are five direct mail piece ideas you can use that incorporate your brand identity and a personal message to your client.
1. Invitations: Everyone loves to be included and receiving an invitation in the mail gives the message that you’re appreciated. Events such as grand openings or even re-openings are a good opportunity to introduce your business to customers both old and new.
2. Announcements: A good way to start a buzz about your company is sending out an announcement card. It can be a small message about something you’re proud of, or it can be just to let people know about a great new product or service you’re offering. It builds an air of excitement and can give the recipients a VIP feeling.
3. Thank You Cards: There is no downside to sending a personal thank you card. Sending personalized thank you cards is a dying art, however the feelings that come when you know you’re appreciated remain the same. By using thank you cards for business, you can show appreciation for clients and employees, earning loyalty from both.
4. Note Cards: You can really connect with someone by sending them a card with a personal note. You can drop the note cards into an invoice or statement for example. Often underused, a hand written note does both parties a world of good and printed with your company branding it goes a long way to reinforce your company’s image.
5. Holiday Cards: The holidays always arrive sooner than we’d expect. A custom made greeting card with a personal message from your company is one way to convey to a customer that they are appreciated and to thank them for their patronage.
Direct mail is still a great way to promote your business to your current clients or to reach prospective ones. By creating a unique and personalized mailing you can increase the chance your mailing is read, and the chance that it’s well received.
