These are the results you can achieve with a Direct Mail win-back campaign

Every marketer knows it: winning back customers is often just as important as attracting new ones and usually more cost-effective. A Direct Mail win-back campaign is a proven way to re-engage dormant customers. But how effective is Direct Mail, really?

In this article, you’ll learn:

– the key success factors for a Direct Mail win-back campaign
– which conversion rates are realistic

What determines your conversion rate?

A Direct Mail campaign stands or falls with the right ingredients. The following factors have the greatest impact on success:

  • The offer
    A limited-time discount, free shipping, or a personal incentive can make all the difference and determine whether someone responds.

  • The segment
    Are you reaching the right people? Have they heard from you recently? Is their data still up to date?

  • The mix with other channels
    Do you combine Direct Mail with, for example, email? Always a good idea!

  • The message
    Does the message resonate with the customer’s feelings? And do you use Cialdini’s principles of influence, such as urgency, scarcity, social proof, and reciprocity?

  • The design
    A well-designed card catches attention and feels personal. Use your brand style, strong visuals, and a clear call to action.

When you align these elements well, you often see impressive results.
