What is Direct Mail Marketing?
Direct mail marketing is a marketing strategy that involves businesses sending marketing collateral directly to customers through the mail. This can include anything from postcards and greeting cards to coupons and promotional materials.
While digital marketing is often the main focus of modern marketing strategies, businesses still rely on direct mail advertising to appeal directly to their individual customers. Sending personalized print marketing materials to customers encourages customer loyalty and builds trust.
Why Direct Mail Marketing with Rex 3?
Rex 3’s approach to direct mail marketing is data driven and customer perspective-focused. Even before addressing deliverables, our team cleans and dedupes your data lists using an NCOA (National Change of Address) registry and CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) to keep your mailing information current and accurate.
After cleansing data, Rex 3’s laser and inkjet machines will go to work. Our production presses will label and code all mailings at maximum efficiency while still offering a one-of-one level of personalization. We image on top of aqueous coating, eliminating the need to cut unsightly masks.
With the data feedback from your CRM, Rex 3 can also adjust imagery and copy by utilizing variable printing techniques. Our blind match inserting process will also help send multiple deliverables to one address. In a business environment where “one size fits all” no longer applies, Rex 3 is ready to power any direct mail marketing strategy.
