Direct mail marketing might be considered by some as outdated and a waste of time, but statistics and spending prove significantly differently.

Direct mail marketing is incorrectly considered by some to be an out of date and ineffective way of marketing. With the prevalence of email, the Internet and social media, sending a tangible, hand-held envelope containing direct advertising material might seem like a waste of time, effort and money. However, statistics continue to show that most Americans appreciate and are more likely to acknowledge and respond to marketing they receive through their post box.

Popularity of Direct Mail Marketing

According to the Direct Marketing Association, over 70 percent of Americans believe that traditional post is far more personal than the Internet, email and social media. And research shows the personal approach is what people are actually looking for. Over half of the population enjoy receiving mail and would prefer actual mail as opposed to an impersonal email that is far more easily discarded without being read.

A study carried out by the United States Postal Service, more than 60 percent of direct mail receivers were influenced to visit an advertiser’s website and around 23 percent of recipients were compelled to visit an advertiser’s store location.

Direct Mail Marketing for Consumers of All Ages

Direct mail marketing is not, like many tend to believe, only for the older demographic. In fact, research shows that as much as 92 percent of shoppers in the younger demographic state that they prefer direct mail marketing when making their purchasing decisions.
