1. Use Your Direct Mail Piece to Get Attention

When you create an integrated direct mail campaign, you need to plan out a customer journey. You move them from first becoming aware of your company to the point where they’re ready to take action.

Your direct mail piece can the place to generate awareness. It has to be designed to capture attention. You should have a strong headline, a clean design, and have text to support the headline.

2. Give People a Reason to Go to Your Website

The most important thing on your direct mail piece is the call to action. Without the call to action, your mail recipients won’t know the next step in the journey.

Some people may visit your website out of curiosity or to learn more about your company. With a specific call to action, you’re directing people to take action by visiting a landing page

Instead, you can give them a reason to visit your website. You can offer a free guide or an online quote. That can help you build your email list and tell people what your company is about.

3. Create a Retargeting Campaign

This is the point when your marketing campaign truly becomes integrated. You can place a tracking cookie on your website or landing page. Once people visit your website, the tracking cookie can be used to deliver display ads or ads on Facebook.

That ad can bring them back to your site, which can increase your chances to convert them. This ensures that the people who visit your site without taking action still have your brand in front of them.

4. Repeat the Process

Your strategy shouldn’t depend on only one direct mail piece to make an impact. It takes a sustained effort over time to get the best results.

You need to plan your direct mail campaign to last over multiple mailings. That will increase the traffic to your landing page and increase conversions.
