Transactional mail FAQ

What is the difference between transactional and marketing mail?

Transactional mail refers to any correspondence that is directly related to a transaction or account, such as invoices, statements, or receipts. This type of mail is typically sent on a one-to-one basis and does not require the recipient's prior consent. Transactional mail often must meet certain security and compliance regulations, making it crucial for businesses to work with a trusted partner like Lob for transactional mail fulfillment.

On the other hand, marketing mail is promotional material sent to potential or existing customers with the goal of generating sales or brand awareness. This can include direct mail pieces like flyers, catalogs, or postcards.

What is transactional direct mail?

Examples of transactional mailers include monthly account statements from financial institutions, policy updates from insurance companies, or bills from utility companies. These types of mailers typically have important and time-sensitive information that requires a high degree of accuracy and security. Transactional mailers are often used to communicate with customers about their accounts or transactions, providing necessary information in a timely manner.

How can automated direct mail improve transactional mailers?

Automated direct mail can improve transactional mailers in several ways. By using automation technologies, businesses can ensure that their transactional mail is accurate and delivered on time. Additionally, they can personalize the content of each mailer to provide more targeted and effective communication with customers. Automation also allows for faster production and delivery of transactional mail, reducing the risk of delays or errors.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, automated direct mail can help businesses save on postage costs by eliminating duplicates or incorrect addresses and streamlining the printing and mailing process. With automation, businesses can also track the delivery of their transactional mailers in real time, providing both transparency and accountability for each customer communication.
