A Legacy of Response

The word “Response” has a few meanings to us.  

First, we strongly believe in the effectiveness of direct response as a marketing strategy to boost sales growth and reach your best audience. By partnering with us, you can quickly and cost-effectively leverage this strategy to achieve quality prospect conversions and long-term retention. 

Our mission is to help you achieve growth through driving response, and you can count on your client team to be highly responsive to your needs. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and responsiveness is one of our core values. We recognize the importance of urgency and tailored responses to meet your campaign requirements and unique business goals.

For many digital-first brands, the investment in a custom direct mail program can feel high. We’re committed to providing you with an honest, upfront budget and performance expectations so you can choose an invaluable partner for your brand.

Data Guides Our Decision 

Achieving more significant results requires sharper targeting. Our in-house data team and data-driven predictive modeling process ensure your mail reaches the right people, at the right time, on the right channel. 

What’s our secret sauce? Every successful direct mail program is built on a unique formula. Our proprietary FactorTest methodology serves as a blueprint for defining, refining, and elevating your campaigns for better performance. It’s an innovative approach to testing that can help you efficiently crack the code on your best mail campaigns to give your brand the winning edge. 

Specifically, our team uses this cutting-edge approach to find your ideal customer and determine the perfect audience, creative strategy, mailing frequency, and digital integration to generate the best response rates. Once we’ve found your perfect mix, we’re careful to avoid wasted spend and eliminate unnecessary costs by using advanced data hygiene and production practices. 

Innovative Design for Unforgettable Mail 

Designing creative direct mail that drives conversion is both a top priority and a struggle for direct marketers worldwide. According to Celtra research, more than 80% of respondents trust a brand with well-designed advertisements. If your goal is a profitable campaign, don’t just settle for a generic design or low-quality postcard. Today’s fiercely competitive market requires a creative strategy fueled by an experienced team of direct response designers and copywriters. 

That’s where we come in. Our seasoned designers, writers, and offer strategists bring a wealth of knowledge to every campaign, with a clear focus on generating maximum response rates and unparalleled success. We aim to stay ahead of industry trends and produce captivating visuals and compelling copy that make your brand unforgettable. 

Additionally, navigating creative and design elements, postal regulations, and printing and production processes is easier with an experienced partner at your side. Our team will guide you through choosing the best format and delivery method for your message.

Proven Results That Keep Clients Coming Back 

Brands choose Franklin Madison Direct as their preferred direct marketing partner because we continually optimize their campaigns to drive better results over time.

We then enhanced their program with Surround™, aligning digital touchpoints with the mail in-home window, which contributed to a 20% increase in sales rates. To further expand reach while controlling costs, we introduced shared mail, helping the brand maintain its incremental CAC goals.
