[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]In today\u2019s world, as consumers are increasingly being flooded with all kinds of media and information, mailings are a good way to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Mailings are effective because – unlike e-mails or other online communication – they are tactile, the reader must physically hold the mailing in their hand, attracting attention and triggering emotions in the recipient.<\/p>\n

In addition, statistics from the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) in the USA show that mailings have a response rate of 5.1%\u00a0 and so they clearly stand out in contrast to e-mails, social media or paid search queries.<\/p>\n

Personalized mailings are even more likely to be noticed by the recipient and increase the interest of potential customers.<\/p>\n

“Targeted addressing is a very important element for the success or failure of mailings\u201c<\/em>,\u00a0writes Klaus-Peter Nicolay, editor-in-chief of Druckmarkt<\/a> magazine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”23364″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”23365″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]When someone receives a personalized mailing, they give it the decisive attention that brands need, especially in times like these. After all, a personalized mailing triggers emotions in the recipient who is then more willing to take a closer look at the mailing.<\/p>\n

But developing mailings with the right message and the right personalization is not as easy as it may seem.<\/p>\n

In his article, Nikolay assumes that out of 100 offered pieces of information, at least 90 are not taken up because people simply ignore unwanted information.<\/p>\n

It is therefore extremely important not to overwhelm the recipient with even more information that he or she does not need. A mailing that speaks to the recipient personally is the key to getting attention.<\/p>\n

But how do mailings become personal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By adding a personalized location map, route or directions to your mailing you can be sure the recipient’s attention and the response rate will be significantly increased.<\/p>\n

This is because personalized maps serve as an invitation to the eye and encourage the recipient to take a closer look at the mailing.<\/p>\n

Maps add value to a mailing and demonstrably convey information faster than text could. People can recognize their neighborhood and home in a matter of seconds on their personalized map and recognize the proximity of a brand location.<\/p>\n

Maps also create an emotional connection. It is also useful and functional, especially if there are real travel times included that emphasize the proximity even more clearly.<\/p>\n
