Direct Mail In Oceanside, NC
Over the past few years, more and more companies are including direct mail in their annual marketing budgets. With so many other companies focusing their annual budgets on “digital marketing”, those who focus on direct mail have a keen advantage over their competitors.
Since the email spam filters are getting really good and aggressive at filtering your message it is becoming increasingly difficult to get your message to your target audience. This is where direct mail can help. Even a simple postcard, with expert graphic design, in the mail asking your audience to check their spam box and make necessary adjustments to the filter can compliment your communication strategy.
At AlphaGraphics, we’ve helped countless local businesses grow their clientele and sales with direct marketing. Direct mail doesn’t require 20 years of advertising experience (even though we have over 60). It requires the ability to say the right message to the right audience.
Does your business or organization need to target an audience is in a specific area? Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) and is a fantastic way for local businesses and organizations to do direct mail without spending a fortune. EDDM does not require a list. It only requires a selected geographical area that’s serviced by the U.S. Post Office. You will be charged a discounted rate and your mailers will be delivered to every single residence (or business) in that pre-determined geographical area. It’s that simple! EDDM works great for local restaurants and other businesses (especially CPA’s right before tax season starts).
We can customize your mailing to include variable printing. Variable Data Printing (VDP) automates the direct mail process so that each direct mail piece can look as if it's been expressly designed and printed for that person. It maximizes the relevance of your direct mail piece and drives responses.
We can personalize your newsletters too. Addressing your newsletter with the persons name is a much better way to communicate. It’s a great way to connect with the person via direct mail.
If you’re not sure how to begin, give us a call. We’ll help you choose your audience, select the mailer and we can even help you with the copywriting (which is the art of persuading someone to perform an action via words). We can even mail out the mailers for you so that all you have to do is sit in your office and wait for the phone calls or leads to start pouring in!
If you don’t have a list, we can help you create one. We can even make suggestions on the best types of mailers that work for your particular niche or industry. One of the most respected direct marketing experts in the world has suggested that you create your envelopes so that they look like they’re hand written. If you’re mailing thousands of postcards or envelopes out, this can be challenging. Thankfully there are computer fonts that look just the handwriting of a human (and more importantly will pass the “is this junk mail?” sniff test).
