Direct Mail Marketing is one of the most effective ways to connect with your local audience and drive measurable results. Unlike digital ads that can get lost in the noise, direct mail delivers a tangible, personalized message directly into the hands of your potential customers. At iBuyLocal, we specialize in creating high-impact 9×12 EDDM® postcards that combine traditional marketing with modern technology to help your business dominate your neighborhood.
In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about direct mail marketing, including its benefits, best practices, and how iBuyLocal can take your campaigns to the next level.
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM®) is a cost-effective service offered by USPS that allows businesses to send postcards to every household within specific postal routes—no mailing list required.
The design of your postcard is critical to its success. A well-designed postcard grabs attention, communicates your message clearly, and motivates recipients to take action.
Best Practices for Postcard Design:
– Use bold headlines and vibrant colors to stand out in the mailbox.
– Include a clear call-to-action (CTA) such as “Visit Us Today!” or “Scan the QR Code for Exclusive Offers.”
– Keep your message concise and focused on one primary goal.
iBuyLocal Advantage:
Our expert designers create visually stunning postcards that align with your brand and objectives, ensuring maximum impact.
