Print workflow and content marketing becoming more important to direct mail
As companies look to improve their marketing strategies and utilize the resources available for top-notch printing techniques, they may find that the market is slowly but surely innovating print workflow materials to help them do so. Customers have become increasingly demanding in the quality of marketing material they interact with, meaning that companies have to employ the best strategies to grab customers' attentions and keep them coming back. In order to have a successful campaign, there are multiple factors that marketers need to take into account, namely content creation and printing options.
Focus on content
Content marketing is an important part of today's promotional strategies. Because customers want to have material that is relevant and useful to their personal lives, marketers need to be smart about the content they create. Mashable says there are multiple options for getting more out of content marketing, it just requires some creativity. Well-crafted content can lead to more unique and intriguing direct mail or integrated marketing, thus leading to higher quality customer experiences.
A few suggestions for content marketing strategies from Mashable include e-books, podcast series, slideshows or other digital content - all of which can accompany a direct mail campaign and offer more cohesive interaction for mail recipients. It might also be a good idea to take longer pieces of content and separate them into smaller, but concentrated pieces. This could work for online or traditional marketing. A more concentrated direct mail campaign that progresses as the campaign continues could engage consumers and pique their interest with the products or services offered. Another option is recycling content or offering a quick roundup of the last few campaigns. This doesn't mean use the exact same material that was previously used, but it does mean reminding customers about important industry news with a new twist. Always promote the brand at the end and include a call to action that will prompt people to investigate more.
Take it to the next level
In order to make sure that customers are attracted to and interested by the content marketers are providing for them, companies should look into leading edge printing technology tools.
