In a digitally obsessed world, it’s imperative that digital channels form part of your marketing campaigns, but neglecting offline marketing channels entirely could be costing you leads.
Here are our top tips for making sure your marketing plan is robust and covers the right channels.
1. Cutting through the digital noise
On average a consumer in the UK will be faced with approx 3.5k marketing messages, per day. Utilising a more tangible marketing material such as a Direct Mail will likely leave a more resounding impression than a fleeting digital ad.¹
2. Direct marketing in the digital age
An effective way to reach homeowners can still be through their letterboxes, especially when executed creatively and with impact. The direct mail household response rate is 5.1%, the highest response rate the DMA has ever reported.² Ensure your tone of voice and your core message is adjusted to suit the channel, and strike the channel balance for your target audience.
3. Print and digital working together
It takes 18-20 touchpoints to reach a customer for the first time, so it makes sense to run an integrated campaign across multiple channels and platforms.³
Couple the advantage of knowing exactly where your audience is, with a high impact, high quality piece of print and begin to measure the shift in engagement rates of your customers and prospects.
