1.      Why should I/my company use direct mail?

Getting the right information to the right people is crucial. With most advertising efforts, regardless of how targeted the attempt may be, it ends up being viewed by countless individuals outside of your target market. With direct mail, you can successfully reach prospective customers on an individual level. You aren't posting information on a billboard and hoping they see it. You are putting it directly in their hands, in their homes and offices.

2.      What is the value of direct mail?

Being significantly less expensive than traditional advertising methods and grossly more targeted, direct mail is exceedingly effective. It offers a better cost per response ratio than other forms of advertising/communication and when combined with other marketing efforts, can significantly impact your brand recognition.

3.      Do I get any discounts on postage for mailing a large amount?

Yes. A discount on postage can be received when doing a large mailing. However, postage discounts are based on concentration, not the size of the mailing. The more pieces being mailed to the same zip code, the larger the postage discount.
