When creating direct mailings to send to a list of targeted marketing leads there are many formatting choices, including self-mailer brochures, letter packages, postcards or even jumbo self-mailers. Formatting and design are important; but with strategic design should also be a powerful offer with thoughtful content.
When it comes to direct mailings, in-your-face design isn’t always better. Depending on the audience and the message, bright colors may be appropriate, or a bold message may be needed, or – in some cases – even a conservative approach may be more appropriate. To select an effective design, it’s crucial to understand the target market – from age, to gender, to family size to type of car they drive.
Mailer content is also unique to the target market and to the service/offer. Some mailers may only need a coupon, while others may need more specific information on a business or service. Offers can be powerful – for instance a BOGO offer (which is designed to bring in sales); while more service related businesses may prefer to provide more of an informational mailing piece.
