Since opening our doors in 1974, National Mail & Digital Marketing has expanded our available services to meet the evolving needs of our clients and their industries. However, direct mail has continued to be the heart of what we do. If you’re considering incorporating direct mail into your marketing efforts, we can help! To get you started, we’ve answered some of the most common questions businesses ask when exploring how direct mail can help support their goals and marketing strategies.

Why should I use direct mail for my business?

A: Direct mail is a powerful, tangible way to connect to your target audience. In a world where most companies rely heavily on digital marketing, a physical mail piece stands out and helps tune out overdone digital messaging. People are more likely to review what arrives in their mailbox than sift through crowded email inboxes, giving your message a stronger chance of being noticed.

What are the additional costs associated with Direct Mail?

A: Because direct mail is a physical medium, there are some production and mailing costs involved. Depending on your campaign format, costs may include:

• Packaging
• Paper
• Postage
• Promotional Products
• Design Services
• Printing
• Mailing list data

At NMDM, we manage most of these elements in-house or through partners we trust. With over 50 years of experience, we use our connections to provide the best and most cost-effective solutions for your direct mail strategy.  NMDM makes direct mail simple and stress-free!

Is direct mail trackable? How can I measure my campaigns success?

A: Yes! Today’s direct mail campaigns are highly trackable. Utilizing tools like QR codes, personalized URLs, and coupon codes allows you to see exactly who responds to your mail piece. By assigning unique codes to different audience segments, you get very granular with your response measurements. At NMDM, we use the analytics from your campaigns to improve and optimize your future direct mail strategy!

How do I format my mail campaign to get the best results?

A: With over five decades of direct mail experience, NMDM makes sure every detail of your campaign is handled correctly. From data to design, we verify dimensions, file types, and necessary coding to ensure your pieces meet USPS requirements. Plus, we work directly with the post office to identify and apply postage discounts whenever possible, saving your money while maximizing impact.

How do I know who to mail to?

A: Choosing the right audience to receive your direct mail efforts is one of the most important steps in a successful mailing. NMDM partners with trusted data vendors to create targeted lists based on your goals and customer profiles. We want your message to reach the right people, and we work hard to make that happen.
