Mailing Inserters Helps To Build An Audience

By Angela Barnes


When it comes to sending sales materials by mail, it may be hard to judge how much is enough. While it is wise to remain in contact with buyers and prospects, one need not inundate with marketing tools. This is easy with digital marketing because, for one, it is easy and secondly, little to no cost. However, what should be kept in mind when mailing inserters for sales is the audience and the content itself.

The mode of communication should always respect the time of the recipient. This holds true even if the audience does not work or run a household, sending constant messages is rarely effective. When there are constant messages sent electronically or in print, it becomes easy to disregard.

Making the Words Count

Discovering what audiences are most driven towards may prove to be a job in itself. By looking at the product and the type of buyer, the process should start with whether the mailer message should be informative or not. Instead of going into a sales pitch, the content should be a takeaway for the customer.

Whether the purpose of the mailer is to engage or inform, the audience should be able to relate right away. Using a descriptive headline or using illustrations between text are ways to get attention. This should not be an ordinary piece of paper, as it should be exciting and people cannot wait to receive another one.

Testing the Audience

Trying different types of mailers at once can be effective when making a primary, and possibly, secondary choice. Marketing principles also suggest looking at the users of product and tailoring to different usage groups. By looking at the demographics, there may be some others areas to target in the process.

For instance, some people enjoy using their smartphone for a number of uses. One use that is growing in popularity is supplemental income, particularly with the phone feature. People from all walks of life can be get paid for taking videos and still pictures of random events in their area. No experience or extensive training is needed to land these opportunities.

In this case, the two or three inserts will have different content. Those who work in the trades industry most likely will have jargon or industry terms. The other may describe other household uses or a weekend project that any consumer may want to try out.

Using Silent Selling Techniques

A number of marketing tools are essential to creating mail communication. Some strategies use a freebie, possibly of limited stock, as a way to trigger sales. Another method would be to begin an reward program targeted to group of exclusive shoppers. This can be a good way to get information about products and the overall shopping experience.

Sometimes, not mentioning buying or mentioning money can drive sales. When content has a call to action, followed by how the customer or buyer will benefit, often this is enough. There are some successful marketing tools that prove that less is more.
