Take a look at five things Lob can do for your direct mail marketing because why settle for legacy direct mail workflows?

Increase ROI exponentially

Thousands of companies count on Lob to execute direct mail campaigns with hyper-personalization, continuous optimization, and multiple form factors which all play in part in driving increased response, conversion and ROI. The latest State of Direct Mail reports that over three-quarters of marketers say that direct mail marketing delivers the best ROI of any channel.

Improve operational efficiency and cost savings

Save thousands of hours of time by eliminating legacy direct mail workflows. Direct mail campaigns can take months to get out the door due to legacy workflows, managing printers, and lack of resources.

All mail sent with Lob is 100% carbon-neutral for both print and delivery. Here’s how we do it: 

  • Use paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and incorporate post-consumer waste recycling into our paper whenever possible
  • Plant more trees than we use. We’ve planted more than 200,000 trees since 2017
  • Reduce waste through address verification and direct mail best practices

Be more efficient

Direct mail automation streamlines and optimizes manual processes, saving companies thousands of hours. It centralizes customer data, enables personalization, and provides pre-designed templates. Automation tools segment mailing lists, reduce errors, and perform quality checks, while also optimizing postage rates. They offer real-time tracking and analytics for performance evaluation and ensure compliance with regulations. Integration with CRM and marketing software simplifies data transfer. This overall efficiency enhancement allows companies to focus on strategy and creativity, rather than time-consuming manual tasks.
