Does Direct Mail Still Work In 2020?
Direct mail may seem like a thing of the past, but that’s far from the truth
Even in a digital age where most communication is done through the internet, direct mail has a purpose and a charm of its own.
7 Ways To Make The Most Of Your Direct Mail Marketing Campaign
While many people think direct mail marketing is a relic from the past that’s no longer useful in a digitally-dominated world, it’s still an effective way to reach your intended audience.

5 Reasons Why Consumers Trust Direct Mail
“The people when rightly trusted, will return the trust” – Abraham Lincoln

New research shows that consumers trust direct mail when it comes to purchasing decisions. Science, common sense, and a slew of experts tell us why.

Excited by the possibility of lifting direct mail response rates, many direct marketers bought complex, expensive PURL software.
