Key Takeaways
- Give interested online visitors a second chance to respond. Direct mail retargeting (DMRT) lets you follow up with website or landing page visitors by sending them a direct mail piece.
- Reinforce one offer. Carry the same promise from your landing page to your direct mail piece and give prospects one clear way to respond.
- Measure what the mail added to your campaign. Compare sales or qualified leads from the group that received the mail with those from a comparable group that received your usual marketing.
Supercharge your response and ROI by sending a direct mail piece to prospects who visited your website or landing page and left without taking action.
How?
With direct mail retargeting (DMRT).
One of the great new innovations in integrated multichannel marketing strategies is using direct mail retargeting (DMRT).
Direct mail retargeting lets you match website or landing-page visitors to a physical mailing address we provide so you can follow up with a direct mail piece to your hot prospect.
Sending a mail piece after a prospect has engaged with you online is a powerful tool I use with my clients… because it works so well.
Why does it work so well?
Your prospect already saw your offer and responded by going to your website. They may have been close to buying or requesting information. They just need a little push. A timely piece of mail gives them another reason to act and ignite the sale.
Integrating direct mail with your landing page or website consists of:
1. Send direct mail immediately to your online prospects – it’s easy.
Your prospect saw your offer but didn’t order. Then your mail piece arrives with the benefit that caught their attention and a clear way to respond.
Direct mail will spark the sale. The magic of DMRT is the high response rate. All of a sudden, they get your direct mail piece… and then respond with your new lead or sale.
2. Make it easy to get back to your offer.
Most prospects order from the Call to Action (CTA) on the direct mail piece. But some will return to the landing page to order.
You should provide a URL similar to the one they visited but streamlined to order.
Here is an infographic to better understand the process:
The landing page should pick up where the mail piece left off. Make the offer easy to recognize and the next step easy to take.
3. Reinforce one powerful offer.
Your digital and direct mail messages should work together. Use the same unique selling proposition and reinforce the benefit that makes the offer worth acting on.
Then ask yourself one question. Is your offer enticing enough to bring your prospect back?
You already spent money getting prospects to your offer on the landing page or website. A direct mail follow-up can help you get more from that investment and generate higher ROI.
