Are the use cases for direct mail still relevant?

Enterprise marketers across all industries still invest in direct mail.  

Two-thirds agree that direct mail shows the best ROI of all their current channels.

Direct mail no longer has a singular use case for enterprise marketers. Modern marketing departments increasingly use direct mail for lifecycle-focused omnichannel campaigns, notably in customer acquisition, retention, and reengagement, as well as in advocacy and referrals.

This ebook will help today’s omnichannel marketers gain insights and understand the value their peers get from direct mail.
 
Companies are integrating direct mail into their existing omnichannel strategy alongside email, paid, and organic channels. Direct mail is the most effective piece of the marketing strategy puzzle, and only 5% of modern marketers are using it as a standalone tactic.

Software is streamlining direct mail processes and making it easier for marketers to run targeted personalized campaigns with complete analytics and campaign attribution.
