Consumers are exposed to thousands of digital ads every day, but the truth is, they’re ignoring most of them. Digital ad space has become crowded and businesses that once saw it as an inexpensive and effective channel for reaching audiences are spending more time, and money, to recoup their investment. With 54% of consumers wanting to receive mail from brands they’re interested in, direct mail remains a dominant marketing channel in today’s digital world.
National brands like McDonald’s, Goodyear and Terminix understand the benefits of direct mail marketing and use it as a core component of their advertising strategies. Local businesses along the eastern Pugent Sound coastline can see just-as-impressive results when their print campaigns are executed thoughtfully. Here’s why:
With nearly 140 office locations and over half a century of experience in direct mail advertising, Valpak has mastered the art and science behind an effective direct mail campaign. Valpak works by targeting the best local consumers for your business. With our proprietary data, you can mail to local homes based on geographical location, income and purchasing behaviors. Take it a step further with our industry-leading selective targeting and version your offer to customers based on purchase history. Send loyalty offers, dangle retention perks, reach new customers and more. Get local advertising in Seattle, WA with a full suite of mailing services that fit any size business and budget. Or, mail to 1.45 million homes across the state, in areas like Bellingham, Bremerton and Tacoma.
A mailing list is one of the most important parts of a Seattle direct mail campaign, but not all mailing lists are created equal. When you purchase a mailing list from a third-party vendor, you run the risk of acquiring an outdated or oversaturated list that won’t deliver a high response rate. Protect your marketing investment by working with a full-service direct mail provider, like Valpak of Greater Seattle.
Valpak will work with you to determine the best audience for your campaign. Our team of Seattle direct mail experts will help you target households that are a good fit for your business based on income and purchasing behavior. Valpak mails to high-income households with 32% more income and 25% higher purchasing power than the U.S. average.
