Follow on Google News | Social Media Slowing Office Productivity Use Direct Marketing Mailing ListsSocia media is more socializing than marketing. Direct marketing mailing lists have proven to be more effective for increasing sales.
By: Kevin Deeb Are your employees promoting business or simply socializing? With a slowed economy, businesses are looking to cut budgets in every aspect. The first cut businesses normally make is in their marketing budget. With little or no cost utilizing social media, businesses have been hoping this is their saving grace. Social media does not offer any call to action like direct mail marketing. A direct mailer will state respond by, visit us for, etc. As with anything in the world today, you get what you pay for. Zero dollars produces little to no results. Direct mail marketing has consistently produced 2-3% response rates with a great offer, accurate mailing list and attractive mail piece. Direct mail marketing can be the best way to market your new product or service. Direct mailing also allows businesses the ability to reach a more targeted audience. It also does not distract or take away focus from employees’ productivity. Another advantage of direct marketing with mailing lists is that the results are track able. There are several ways to track a direct mailing campaign. The additional of PURL’s (A PURL is a personalized website created from the mailing list purchased, which allows the prospect to respond to your offer online), is one solution to tracking the response of your direct mailers. You can also insert coupon codes into your mail piece for responders to refer to when inquiring to your offer. Social Media seems to work well for large already branded companies, but for a small to mid-size company it does not seem effective. A local pizza shop, accounting firm, investment firm or privately owned retailer will see very little results using this means of marketing. The objective is to bring customers through your doors and to buy. Direct marketing with mailing lists will guarantee increased sales with a specific call to action and help bring in new customer. Social media can help to increase your rankings in search engines but for local retailers direct mail marketing is going to be the most effective advertising avenue.
