Multi-Channel Marketing Keeps Your Business Visible

Someone might see your business in their mailbox, encounter your ad online a few days later and finally need what you offer weeks after that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is direct mail still effective for local businesses?

Yes. Direct mail can be an effective way to reach local customers when the audience, offer, and creative are well matched to the person receiving that mail. One of the benefits of direct mail marketing is the ability to focus your campaign on households within the geographic area your business serves.

Is direct mail or digital marketing better for a local business?

They can serve different purposes and work together. Direct mail puts a physical message into targeted households, while digital advertising provides additional opportunities to reach customers online.

Mailbox Merchants can recommend direct mail, digital advertising, or an integrated campaign based on what you're trying to accomplish.

How do you track and report on campaign performance?

Tracking options vary by campaign and can include QR codes, unique URLs, dedicated phone numbers, offer codes and digital advertising metrics.

We provide campaign reporting so you can understand how your marketing performed and use those results to inform future campaigns

Can Mailbox Merchants help if I don't know what kind of campaign I need?

Absolutely. You don't need to come to us with a finished marketing plan. Tell us about your business, customers, goals, and budget, and we'll help determine which campaign options make sense. We also offer design, content creation, and video production services for your direct mail and digital advertising.

How much of the campaign do I need to manage?

That depends on how much you want to manage. Mailbox Merchants can help with targeting, campaign strategy, creative, printing, postage, delivery, and refinement. We work with you to set expectations so we strike that balance of keeping you in the know and engaged in your campaigns, but not chasing you down for every little thing and eating up your already limited time each day.
