Marketing Agencies Leverage Automated Direct Mail
Rise Marketing Group, LLC integrated Postalytics into their own custom-built marketing platform. This allows them to pre-define automated sequences that generate triggered communications and follow-up messages in digital and postal form. The Postalytics’ Agency Edition allows the company to service the postal mail needs of all its customers seamlessly. The company easily supplements a customer’s marketing campaign with direct mail by creating a new sub-account in their Postalytics Agency Edition system.
This tight integration allows Rise Marketing to create direct mail at the perfect time for each individual recipient. The company rarely runs large batch mailings for their clients, preferring to allow the logic and data within the CRM to drive mailed communications. Postcards generated through Postalytics feature QR codes that lead prospects to landing pages and other client-specific material Rise Marketing has made available online.
According to Rise Marketing Group, “Postal mail is a nice add-on that compliments a lot of our digital marketing.” The company cites easy resale as a major benefit of the Postalytics Agency Edition. The white-label aspect of the service fits well with Rise Marketing’s own marketing strategy for selling its services.
Postalytics for Health Care
Working with a direct mail service provider, Nuclear Care Partners faced minimum order sizes, which forced the company to mail large batches. They wanted to be more selective. They also experienced problems with consistency and customer service, prompting them to seek an alternative approach.
The company connects workers and retirees from the atomic energy industry with benefits and in-home care. Nuclear Care Partners helps the workers and their families learn about the government program, educates them about benefits, and connects them to aid.
The company’s direct mail strategy includes lead generation, lead nurturing, event promotion, special offers, and welcome kits. The company assigns clients to case workers across the country. They wanted to personalize their outbound messages to each individual. This wasn’t possible with their traditional direct mail approach.
Nuclear Care Partners now sends about 10,000 pieces of mail per month through Postalytics. Direct mail is one of their highest-producing channels for developing new leads.
Messages in the mailings vary, depending on relevant topics and timing. The messaging addresses pain points the company’s clients typically encounter. Because Postalytics creates mail pieces on-demand, the marketing team can keep messaging current and relevant without wasting money by discarding obsolete postcards.
Affordable Direct Mail for Home Services
My Georgia Plumber (MGP) services residential customers in an area that covers 15 ZIP codes. The company is growing as it exploits the value of repeat customers and referrals among its loyal clientele. Direct mail has always played a part in the company’s marketing plan, but the methods the company traditionally relied upon were expensive and limited their ability to expand.
This residential plumbing contractor did direct mail the same as most home services businesses. They used an internationally known printing company to print postcards, which were delivered to MGP in bulk. With no full-time marketing resources, company employees and family volunteers had to print address labels, affix stamps, and get the postcards to the post office. The company paid full rate retail postage and, because of minimum order restrictions, often had to spend money well before the need.
Postalytics addressed MGP’s direct mail challenges with flexibility. The company now schedules its campaigns months in advance, with a single employee handling all the details. “I can get these mailings all done at once, rather than having to find time to coordinate them at busy times. I’ll schedule six months in advance and then just let them go,” says the company.
Besides using Postalytics’ automated direct mail solution to market their services, MGP also takes advantage of the platform’s easy operation to recruit new employees. The company has been successful in attracting new talent by contacting individuals appearing on state-supplied lists of HVAC, electrical, and master plumber license holders. MGP regularly sends recruitment postcards to the list to add staff as their company grows.
Non-Profits Love Automated Direct Mail
One non-profit organization that benefits from utilizing Postalytics is Homestart. To keep up with the times and connect with more potential donors, they leveraged the power of direct mail combined with an online approach. Here’s how they did it.
Homestart, like many non-profit organizations, has historically relied upon fundraising events to bring in much-needed monetary support. However, with COVID-19 and the subsequent restrictions on in-person events, they needed to find a simple and effective way to reach their donors. Turning to Postalytics, they revamped their approach with a unique blend of traditional direct mail tactics and cutting-edge digital solutions.
By designing eye-catching postcards with Postalytics’ user-friendly system, Homestart captivated its audience with engaging designs and clear messages regarding its services and the importance of supporting its cause.
In a move that elevated this approach, Homestart incorporated Postalytics-generated QR codes into the postcards. This innovative move made it easy for donors to connect with digital landing pages where they could either register for events or contribute donations. This integration of traditional and digital marketing methods was a successful strategy for Homestart.
Postalytics’ affordable, on-demand direct mail services simplified operations for Homestart. They no longer had to worry about the logistics associated with traditional mail—printing, packing, and posting.
Everything was covered by Postalytics.
By capitalizing on Postalytics’ solutions, Homestart sustained its operations amid a pandemic and found a new way of reaching out to donors. Their experience is a clear testament to how Postalytics can help transform outreach strategies for non-profit organizations.
A Direct Mail Upgrade for Real Estate
So, how does Postalytics work out for real estate? Well, let’s tap into the case of McLemore Realty. This agency smartly harnessed the power of Postalytics to revamp its marketing strategies, enhancing its outreach via automated direct mail campaigns.
Direct mail has been a staple of real estate marketing for ages, but the traditional, manual approach features obstacles. It costs too much to get started, takes too much time, and doesn’t provide the level of tracking modern marketers demand. Fortunately, McLemore Realty found an answer in Postalytics.
Connecting Postalytics to its Hubspot customer relationship system allowed the company to be more effective with brand awareness. They developed new listings by being top-of-mind when homeowners decide it is time to sell. Strategic direct mail drip campaigns powered by Hubspot and enabled by Postalytics have allowed this realtor to roll out a successful direct mail campaign to its agents.
As one of the top-selling agents at McLemore Realty noted, “A lot of people like me who grew up in a digital world don’t take direct mail seriously, but it works. You don’t have to bid on keywords or anything. Just send it.”
