Direct mail can compel recipients to act, attract new customers, increase customer loyalty, boost brand awareness, reactivate dormant accounts, and deliver profitable results. This article explores how businesses of all sizes are rethinking their strategies and incorporating more direct mail in their messaging.

Fantastic information. Thank you!

Service providers need to practice what they preach and position themselves as trusted providers of these services. Not nearly enough are consistently executing their own direct mail marketing initiatives to promote these services. Those that do are seeing results. I've been providing these services to printers and mailers for 21 years. I see it firsthand.

Again, great article and information.
