Direct Mail. From your front door to theirs.
Direct mail should be a love letter to your target customer. It is a chance to explain in detail how a relationship with you will benefit their lives. And, most importantly, THE COPY SHOULD BE ABOUT THEM!
Imagine a love letter that started: ‘Dear Sir or Madam, I am 6ft tall with brown hair, and drive an expensive sports car. I am not interested in your need or wants’.
Not the most convincing. But it’s amazing how much direct mail reads like this.
Now imagine opening a letter that began: ‘Dear Helen – As the owner of a Gyouto Japenese chef’s knife, you know how hard it can be to keep the blade razor-sharp. Our local store has been sharpening Gyouto blades for over twenty years and would love to offer you a free quote’.
Now that’s more like it!
