De Bradelei Stores run several shops across the UK selling fashion at discounted prices. The company took advantage of locr’s personalized maps to target their broad customer base with a direct marketing campaign that increased sales by over 14% year on year. A controlled A/B test revealed a 63% higher response rate for direct mails using personalized geomarketing components than for the static mailer without any personalization.

DeutschlandCard GmbH and its retail partner EDEKA AG & Co. KG used locr personalized maps in a personalized mailer that generated eye-catching high impact and individual relevancy. For each address in the mailing list locr created a personalized map that highlighted the nearest EDEKA store with a route from the recipient’s home address to the store location marked with the EDEKA logo on the map. After discovering the attention the mailer attracted, DeutschlandCard and Arvato went on to commission locr to provide personalized maps for further projects.

Easy, Effective Personalization
Using only mailing addresses, you can create a highly personalized image to include in your direct mail. A variable map from locr is easy to create, and the impact they can have on a marketing campaign is big.
Maps generate an emotional connection with the recipient, helping them to “visualise” the journey of visiting a shop, a business, or event. It is this personal touch that results in higher response rates and greater customer engagement.
