Our Opinion: The most popular approach is a combination of Social Media and Direct Mail
Direct Mail works. That’s Why You Keep Sending Mail. But Can You Track Results?
Direct Mail is one of the best ways to drive traffic to your website. The problem is that its not 100% trackable. Lets say you buy a mailing list and or use Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) to send your prospects a Mailer or White Paper. You know your doing to get website traffic and you know your phone is going to ring. But how do you know where the traffic came from?
The two most popular ways to track any mailing campaign is to use a UNIQUE TRACKING PHONE NUMBER or a UNIQUE URL on your website.
Should be all be doing this?
Yes.
Are we all doing this?
Probably not.
Well heres the solution.
Put together a Social Media campaign that is focused on the EXACT people that you sent your mailing lists to.
Sound complicated? Its not.
Our team can use 3 different methods to guarantee that your next mailing campaign has better results.
- Append your mailing list with your social media page and run a campaign BUILT AROUND your mailing piece. This campaign will be delivered to THE EXACT same people that receive your mailer.
- Geo Target your mailing campaign to make sure that your customers get the maximum amount of touches over the perfect amount of time
- Take your current customer database and create a custom lookalike audience built around customers who have THE SAME BUYING BEHAVIOR as your current customers, then serve them the same ads.
But consider driving the traffic to a specific page on your website, and using the fact that someone visited that specific page on your website to build a custom audience on Facebook to use for Facebook ads. Using Facebook remarketing to only the people who visited that specific page to your website allows you to create a highly targeted ad campaign for a very low budget. And the ad will be highly relevant to the people that it is running for because you know that they already have interest.
Use Direct Mail Create Engagement
Building a social media following can be tough regardless of if you’re using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or any of the other social platforms. While there are numerous ways to help grow your social media base, direct mail can help give you an extra boost.
One smart approach to this method is to make sure that you include your social media handles on all of your direct mailers. These icons can be a subtle element to your direct mailer, or you can create a fun design around the icons to draw attention. A simple “Follow us on Twitter” or your platform of choice will help encourage customers to engage with you online.
Use Direct Mail to drive traffic to your website, then ReTarget on Facebook
Direct Mail can be a great way to drive traffic to your website. Did you know that if you drive the traffic to a specific page on your website, you can use the fact that someone visited that specific page on your website to build a custom audience on Facebook? Even better… You can use this data to target your customer on Facebook
Lets take it a step further…
Have you ever clicked on something while browsing online, only to see it in your newsfeed IMMEDIATELY AFTER LOGGING INTO FACEBOOK?
This is called ReTargeting.
Using Facebook ReTargeting, we build unique campaigns around people who visited that specific page to your website. This allows you to create a highly targeted ad campaign for a very low budget to a VERY specific audience who did a VERY specific thing. The ad will be highly relevant to the people that it is running for because you know that they have already shown interest and had engagement with your product of offer.
Things You Should Know…
Consider Your Target Audience
Nearly any marketing campaign will flop if you don’t have a target audience in mind. For example, you wouldn’t want to send a home improvement direct mailer to someone who rents a high-rise apartment. You’ll want to carefully consider the neighborhoods in your town that generate enough income to make home improvement upgrades, and most of all ensure that they own their home. Renters typically don’t have control over making improvement upgrades to their units, which results in wasted advertising dollars for your business.
Carefully Choose Your Social Channels
Not every platform is for every business. If you’re selling a Realtor trying to sell a $1.2 million home , you don’t want to be targeting kids on Instagram. If you are in auto sales and have a $4,000 used honda, you don’t want to be targeting Lawyers and Doctors on Linkedin.
By utilizing a Tracking Pixel along with your current customer base, we can dial in on the EXACT platforms that will be THE MOST SUCCESSFUL for your online marketing campaign.
It’s a fact: Using direct mail can be a great way to create a highly targeted audience on Facebook for Facebook ads.
Create a Consistent Theme
One of the biggest points of implementing an integrated marketing campaign is remaining consistent across all channels. This means using the same style of graphics and logos, and you’ll also want to keep your voice and tone the same as well. Consistency shows that your brand is organized and your integrated marketing campaign is well executed.
