Not only does the brain respond differently to print &#8211; engaging with the material more deeply and creating firmer memories than other forms of media &#8211; print advertising, and letter writing in particular, gives your marketing a much more personal touch.

The reason for this is that a letter feels much more personal than an email or text from the same person. So why are so many marketers overlooking this incredibly powerful form of outreach in favor of digital strategies?<\/p>\n<p>Lois Geller, a marketing guru at Forbes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/loisgeller\/2012\/08\/03\/the-ridiculously-inexpensive-magic-of-direct-mail-letters\/#5ffed1244ac9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/loisgeller\/2012\/08\/03\/the-ridiculously-inexpensive-magic-of-direct-mail-letters\/%235ffed1244ac9&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1556053793296000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHGfKhV--R1bGF0mb85_dYAoifo7w\">outlines some of the reasons<\/a>\u00a0people give for forgoing letters. Common responses included a preference for digital marketing, worry about the cost of print campaigns, and bad experiences with ill-written letter campaigns. Still, she says, a great letter can be very effective, lifting response rates by as much as 1300%, pacifying irate customers, and even building new business. Plus, a letter campaign may be easier to pull off than you think.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinestamp.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.onlinestamp.net\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1556053793296000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFciGEKPSAnOKe2GegFzz2cBqxbvQ\">OnlineStamp.net<\/a>\u00a0<wbr><\/wbr>explains that one way in which our digital world supports the practice of letter writing is by simplifying things like printing and shipping. For instance, you no longer need to go get stamps in person, you can order them online instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Running a Successful Letter Campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The key to a successful letter campaign is creating that feeling of personal care and intimacy. So you don\u2019t want to go overboard with reach &#8212; focus on top prospects and big customers instead. From there, you can integrate a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/6-marketing-ideas-letter-writing-47691.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/6-marketing-ideas-letter-writing-47691.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1556053793296000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHTzvXD-lnQvoxtnRMLF8BYWrQzKQ\">few common sales tactics<\/a>\u00a0to make your letters more effective. You want to make the benefit of doing business with you clear to the reader and answer any questions they might have in advance. Then, just like a marketing email, you should end with a clear call to action.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, tactics like including a postscript, offering limited-time deals, and using a snappy opening line can make your letter even more effective. Print marketing isn\u2019t dead yet, and you may be surprised to find out just how well it can complement your digital marketing campaigns. Happy letter writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent\u00a0study on different advertising techniques\u00a0found that of all forms of advertising, print media ranked the highest in terms of brand favorability and intent to purchase.
