Direct Mail - Frequently Asked Questions

What is Direct Mail?

Direct mail is a form of marketing that involves sending a physical piece of promotional material through the NZ Postal Service or other courier service to a home or business address.

Why is direct mail marketing effective?

Here are some benefits of direct mail marketing

  • It is interactive - Audience will hold this in hand before deciding what to do with it. It helps with brand recall, and your customers are more likely to keep it if you have a promotion for them to bring to the nearest store.
  • It is memorable - Direct mail can provide a personalised touch with a personalised letter or offer.
  • It can have bigger reach - this marketing can provide a bigger audience if your target market doesn’t use electronic/digital media. 
  • There is not much competition - unlike Digital media ads where you have to go through huge competition to display your ads, there aren’t many companies for Direct marketing and your brand can get noticed.

What is a Transformailer?

The Transformailer is a custom envelope designed to get your marketing message seen - it's impossible to miss.

How is the Transformailer more effective than standard post envelopes?

Because the Transformailer packs are digitally printed, each page can be completely unique and targeted to the individual, company or group. That means you can tailor offers, imagery or messages to different customers based on what you know about them.

It can be printed in full colour, inside and out so you can make the inside useful like a calendar, beautiful like a poster, or plain like Jane: either way, your message will be seen.

The packs will do their job and get everyone’s attention but you can do even more. To capture responses, you can drive each person to their very own personalised landing page, giving you unheard of metrics for a direct mail campaign.
