Put The Power of Direct Mail to Work for You With Tips From the Pros
Postal requirements can be confusing. There is a great deal of complexity in weight and size restrictions, rate types and classifications, and sorting and processing. At EMCO, we know that getting the most out of your direct mail campaign takes a breadth of postal knowledge and streamlined logistics to back it up. In addition to being print experts, we know postal codes, processes, and procedures. We can also maximize your print or direct mail project with data-driven personalization and focused messaging.
As part of an integrated marketing plan, direct mail is proven to help drive customer response in a measurable way. While digital marketing reaches customers anytime from any device, direct mail reaches customers at home – in a targeted, localized way, with a tactile, lasting impression to drive digital engagement, retail visits or a phone inquiry.
