Economic and political shifts can lead to more mindful or even restrained consumption. At the same time, \u201cluxury\u201d items like jewelry or cosmetic products can gain popularity, as many consumers feel like treating themselves. There is a desire for positive moments. It is time to emphasize the on-site shopping experience: that could be personal advice at the store or special customer events.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;98128&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">Finding the Best Deals<\/h1>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saving money is still relevant. Many consumers spend less and pay close attention to prices. Good deals, discounts or loyalty programs are highly attractive for customers to save money. Offers like these work extremely well in combination with location-based marketing. Showing the way to the store where a discount code can be used, and highlighting its accessibility, will boost response rates even more.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;&#8221;]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3R5bGUlM0QlMjJib3JkZXIlM0ElMjBub25lJTIwJTIzZmZmZmZmJTNCJTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZzLmxvY3IuY29tJTJGMjVqZXdlbHJ5JTIyJTIwbmFtZSUzRCUyMmxvY3IlMjBGaW5kZXIlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmdlb2xvY2F0aW9uJTIwJTJBJTIyJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjIxMDAlMjUlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjI1MDBweCUyMiUyMHNjcm9sbGluZyUzRCUyMm5vJTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">Print Matters<\/h1>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical, printed marketing material is an ongoing favorite of many consumers. As mentioned in one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.locr.com\/en\/blog\/blog-post\/good-news-german-aldi-brings-back-print-flyers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous blog articles<\/a>, the German discount supermarket ALDI S\u00fcd has reintroduced their weekly printed flyers after phasing them out as a test. Printed brochures and direct mail provide a break from the screen. The haptic experience of a physical mail piece is a lot more effective than an e-mail or app notification, which can easily be swiped away. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/business\/promotions-incentives.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USPS even offers a special promotion for \u201cmulti-sensory\u201d mail pieces<\/a> that include special visual or other sensory effects. Print offers plenty of ways to connect with the recipient and promote engagement.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">The UK fashion retailer \u201cDe Bradelei\u201d achieved 63% higher response rates with a direct mail campaign including personalized maps:<\/h2>\n<h1 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">\u201cDe Bradelei Case Study\u201d:<\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24671&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f24662-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"24662\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98123#wpcf7-f24662-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"24662\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.5\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f24662-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<table>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-firstname\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your First Name\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-firstname\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-lastname\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your Last Name\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-lastname\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-company\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your Company\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-company\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your E-Mail*\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send me the Case Study\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">We will not share your contact information or personal data with any third parties.
