Direct mail campaigns still work.

Read this independent customer story for a real example.

Direct Mail Campaign Delivers Over 2,200% ROI

Listening to some marketers, it would be easy to think that all direct marketing was email these days. But hard-copy mail still has its place, especially when it can be personalized and is well-integrated with a web site.

Partou Childcare is a Netherlands-based childcare company whose revenue was threatened by declining subsidies from the government. They needed to enrol new children, and that meant reaching new parents with a message that would resonate enough for them to respond.

The campaign executed by Jubels, a Xerox Premier Partner, delivered an ROI of over 2,200%, based on new enrolments. Key to its success were:

  • Sourcing of high quality mailing lists of new parents, close to Partou’s locations.

  • Using the name of the child or family to spark initial engagement

  • Providing a personalised map of the route from the family home to the nearest Patou location – this was practical information that is key to parents’ decision-making process

  • Having an incentive to respond – who doesn’t want the chance to win an iPad?

  • Making response easy with PURLs and QR codes
