There was a time when mass or blanket advertising was considered the best marketing plan for companies; “Cover everyone, and that will ensure you will reach someone.” Physical mail was also one of the only marketing channels companies could use and the result was mail boxes stuffed with useless advertisements that did not target the companies’ audience. This lack of direct researched marketing led to unknowingly forcing consumers to ignore most of it. Some marketers predict that digital advertising could walk down the same road if companies continue to drown consumers through only one medium.

Direct mail can be a valuable tactic that helps companies reduce the number of unnecessary pieces that are sent out, which makes both the consumer and the cost-conscious companies happy.
