Omnichannel marketing is a strategy that focuses on providing a consistent customer experience across all channels — online and offline. It integrates touchpoints such as brick-and-mortar locations, websites, social media, mobile apps, and direct mail to create a unified brand experience for customers.
Omnichannel solutions work across industries and have been adopted by the world's most popular brands. A successful omnichannel strategy might start with a social ad that brings customers to a brand's website. After browsing, the customer might be retargeted with a display ad on another website. Or maybe that customer decides to make a purchase. A week later, the brand might decide to send an automated postcard featuring a special offer as a thank you for being a first-time buyer.
The options are endless. The most important thing for an omnichannel strategy is to ensure that the messaging and experience are consistent and personal across all channels. This consistency creates a seamless customer journey that ultimately leads to increased customer loyalty and improved retention.
Direct mail marketing is a strategy that involves sending physical promotional materials, such as postcards, flyers, or catalogs, directly to customers and prospects through the mail. It can be used as part of an omnichannel approach to complement and reinforce digital or offline marketing.
Direct mail is an integral part of any omnichannel strategy. Most brands find it challenging to break through digital noise and crowded inboxes. But direct mail is less saturated, making it a great way to stand out and grab customer attention.
Brands can use direct mail as a way to reinforce their digital messaging or introduce themselves to new customers for the first time. Companies may even use direct mail to drive digital traffic by including QR codes or personalized URLs (PURLs) that lead customers to specific landing pages or offers online.
Some of the reasons direct mail is so effective compared to digital channels, like email, include:
Omnichannel and direct mail can be effective in a variety of industries.
