Summer is here along with another class of high school seniors. Now is the time to get your high school senior marketing ready to go. Here are the top 5 reasons to include direct mail as one of the tools in your marketing plan:
1. In an article written by DMR (https://expandedramblings.com/index.php/10-print-marketing-statistics-know/) 79% of households say they read or scan direct mail. Compare that to the open rate on your last email campaign.
2. Most of your competition is NOT sending out direct mail pieces. This gives you a tremendous advantage over your competitor by making direct contact with a potential client and making you stand out.
3. 48% of people retain direct mail for future reference. Unlike emails which are quickly deleted and forgotten, a direct mail piece with a compelling offer or interesting design is something people will hang on to.
4. Repetition is key. Combing direct mail marketing with email, social marketing, local advertising, etc. will create repeat exposure of your message and people will remember you when it’s time for them to book a session.
5. 56% of customers find print to be the most trustworthy type of marketing. Isn’t trust one of the important reasons you purchase from a certain company or brand?
