Making Direct Mail Work For You Direct mail can be an impactful way to get in front of prospects, nurture prospects through the sales funnel, reconnect with lapsed clients and stay connected to current clients. However, it must be done well. Direct mail that stands out, generates attention, makes an impact and realizes ROI follows these rules: - It is targeted: Spray and pray has never worked for direct mail marketing. You must target the right people and tailor your message to them. - It is clear: Customers need to have a clear and simple way to respond if you want them to take action. Typically, you must tell them the action you want them to take, whether it’s visiting your website, picking up the phone, or sending an email. - It’s good-looking: The layout, imagery and design must be modern, clear and should support your brand. - It supports your other marketing efforts: Never put all your eggs in one basket. Direct marketing should be part of your overall strategy, and it can be used to enhance digital marketing by drawing attention to your website.

Rules For Successful Direct Mail Marketing Citation: Rules For Successful Direct Mail Marketing, Haley Marketing, 2018-09-06, passage 2, https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/direct-marketing-rules Source: https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/direct-marketing-rules story. Pictures can be a powerful way to capture your brand and when combined with effective copy, your direct mail pieces will make an impact. Integrate Direct Marketing Into The Customer Journey Direct mail is often used as a standalone means to introduce a business to your staffing services. Typically, your sales team follows up after a direct mail campaign is implemented. But direct mail can be extremely powerful in reverse – that is, when it is integrated into your customer journey. Most prospects expect follow-up calls and follow-up emails, but few expect relevant and useful mail to be delivered to their desks. Develop thoughtful and effective pieces tailored to each stage of the process from awareness to consideration to decision. Control Costs And Improve ROI Through Targeting The cost of direct mail marketing is its biggest drawback, but costs can be controlled by targeting your campaigns. Mail is classified as “junk” when it is not relevant to the recipient. When it is relevant, they open it, read it and act on it. Targeting allows you to mail fewer pieces and provides budget flexibility to increase the quality of each mailing. Are you ready to dive back into direct marketing?

Staffing Industry Marketing Insights: Generating Leads & Busting Myths Citation: Staffing Industry Marketing Insights: Generating Leads & Busting Myths, Becca Searns, 2016-12-13, passage 2, https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/staffing-marketing-insights-generating-sales-leads Source: https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/staffing-marketing-insights-generating-sales-leads by the disbursement on the chart below that most staffing and recruiting firms use a variety of marketing tools to support sales efforts (which is really smart!). Marketing Takeaways: Busting Myths Time to dispel a few marketing misconceptions we hear far too often (and which our survey data supports): - First off, despite ranking low in this survey, online advertising (such as PPC) is a cost-effective tool for getting your company to the top of search results—and keeping you top-of-mind with your clients, prospects and candidates. And since staffing decisions are rarely made on the first call, PPC is a great way to strengthen your positioning with prospects, too. - Secondly, direct mail is not dead! With fewer competitors using it, a well-executed campaign is actually more likely than ever to get noticed – and have a big impact. Using direct mail, our clients are closing major accounts (that would not respond to their traditional sales efforts) and increasing the call-to-appointment ratios for the sales reps by 100% or more. - Finally, direct mail does not equal postcards. The most effective campaigns integrate multiple formats of mail, packages, drop off, sales calls, email and social media into a structured process that allows sales people to effectively pursue top prospects.
