  1. .................................................................................................................................................................................................... • Fresh Thinking: The Power of Direct Mail

  2. The Power of Direct Mail What’s happening in dm today?

  3. Some Stats… • More than 92% of direct mail is opened and 48% of UK adults took action after receiving direct mail last year:* • 14.2m bought something • 10.5m used a voucher or coupon • 2.8m tried a new product or service • 3m made an enquiry by phone. • DM continues to deliver ROI As customers face email fatigue and the novelty wears off banner advertising, direct mail is again outperforming digital. Direct mail delivers an average £3.22 return on investment compared with online’s £3.12 for every £1 spent*. • DM Reaches the ‘digitally disenfranchised’: according to TGI 58% of those over 65 and 46.6% of those in socio-economic group E have not used the internet in the past year.

  4. The power of DM • Elicits a stronger response – the ritual of reaching inside an envelope, pulling out its contents and reading it is a unique sensory moment • Physical mail can engage multiple senses: scents, textures, visual quirks, sounds, edible samples and so on….

  5. DM reaches people that email can’t.. • There are still 16million people aged 15 and over who don’t have basic IT skills and are not online. • They are predominately over 55 years old and are C2DE: • 19% of 55 – 64 year olds • 34% of 65 - 74 year olds • 21% of C2DEs • All of these groups have not used the internet in the past year. • And, 66% of the top income earners read weekday newspapers and magazines in hard copy, rising to 75% at weekends.
