If you’ve ever tried to DIY a direct-mail campaign, then you know how time-consuming it can be. Many detractors want you thinking direct mail marketing is dead, but that could not be further from the truth. To this day direct mail marketing remains one of the most effective advertising tools at a businesses disposal in effectively targeting specific audiences according to Forbes.com. Data has revealed consumers are likely to engage in direct mail up to 90% of the time. In a world of increasing digital overload, ensure your brand and message is seen by your target audience with unique, custom shipping and mailing service.
Bottom line - Clark Communications helped us turn our business around in less than a month. Our restaurant had hit the “sophomore” slump, with sales down over 20% versus 2021 despite strong reviews. We’re tucked away in the back corner of a North Asheville shopping center, and have relied on neighborhood traffic. So we needed both our locals to come back and new customers from the area. The owners sat down with Tom Clark, and he reviewed the promotion we had done to date (very limited). He suggested economical signage options to help folks find us and a bulk mailing program to all residents in our zip code and two adjacent ones, both focused on our upcoming 2 year anniversary. His team did a great job quickly developing signs and wind flags, along with a great looking 2-sided direct mail piece. Time from initial discussion to having signs and mailers in hand was less than 2 weeks. The results were immediate. As soon as the signs went up, new faces started saying “we didn’t know you were back here” and familiar ones said “we’d sorta forgotten about you”. And then the direct mail hit. In the first 2 weeks we’ve received well over 100 mailers from a mix of existing and new customers. In the 3 weeks since we started the campaign, business is up 53% vs the 3 weeks preceding the signs going up, and last week we had our highest sales ever. Our challenge is now staffing for the increased business, but I call that a “high class” problem. Thanks Clark for your help, and we look forward to extending the very successful campaign.
