Direct Mail can be used for a broad range of use cases. The list below gives you an overview of the most relevant cases for which direct mail touchpoints are added to customer journeys.

Direct mail does not require any opt-in, which is why you can reach nearly all your customers. Take your CRM to the next level.

1. Second-Order-Push: Encourage first-time-buyers to a second purchase with a well-personalized mailing. Lacking newsletter opt-ins or unprovided email addresses will no longer hold you back.
2. Abandoned Shopping Cart: Incentivize indecisive customers to convert with personalized mailings and show them what they just left behind (e.g. via 1-to-1 image personalization).
3. Reactivation: Reactivate valuable customers after prolonged periods of inactivity who are not responsive in other channels or do not fulfill double opt-in requirements for email communication.
4. Churn Prevention: Prevent important customer churn with an exclusive and careful personalized mailing.
5. Cross- & Upselling: Increase sales of related or complimentary products via direct mail by leveraging the fact that advertorial mail is usually kept for around 17 days and converts over time.
6. Life-Events: Delight your customers with thoughtful mailings for special occasions (e.g. wish your loyal customers a Happy Birthday).
7. Referral Marketing: Help your customers to spread the word and take advantage of the fact that direct mail can easily be passed on to friends and family. 35% of all direct mail is read by more than one person.
8. Customer Retention Measures: Convert regular customers into loyal fans by thrilling them with not only email but direct mail too.
