David Ogilvy considered Direct Marketing his "secret weapon" — and this approach remains powerful across a wide range of digital media.
Direct Marketing — also known as Direct Response Marketing and Database Marketing — is a highly-targeted marketing approach. Why would you "target" just anybody?
Direct Marketing includes Prospect and Customer Data, Offer/CTA, sophisticated benefit-oriented creative selling approaches designed to elicit response. In any medium social, email, direct mail (flat and 3-dimensional), print ads, digital ads, Direct Response TV and radio, billboards, retargeting, and more.
You can gain leads and sales via phone response… provide promo or access codes and links, and drive people to a landing page or website… build a higher level of awareness and engagement, and much more.
When does Direct Response Marketing work best?
This approach works best when highly targeted... and it's highly valuable for small and large companies and non-profits. Your customer database is your strongest resource in this regard. And if its segmented and ready in a CRM system, even better.
Email and direct mail are proven workhorses for this targeted marketing approach. And "snail mail" puts your message in the hands of your prospects and customers, in an infinite variety of formats, for their full attention.
And if you have select high-end prospects, we can help you gain high impact among these key prospects, C-Level executives, and other special must-get audiences, with 3-Dimensional promotional mailings.
Dimensional mailings cut through the clutter with highest response rates — engaging key prospects with this highest-impact breakthrough messaging.
