Direct mail is still an incredibly effective form of communication with billions of pieces being sent across the globe every year. To be effective and provide a strong return on investment (ROI), many challenges need to be addressed prior to starting any project. Overall project costs, personalization, impactful design, quality output and meeting production timelines all factor into the success of a direct mail campaign.
When designing a direct mail campaign, the focus is often on creativity versus managing the overall costs of the project until it’s ready to ship. With project costs often ballooning to 65% or more of your budget, it can cut into other aspects of your campaign.
