SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

Direct mail expansion fueled growth for meal kit brand

This fast-growing meal-kit delivery service had optimized its digital, TV and radio advertising, and wanted to test direct mail as a scaling opportunity. Franklin Madison Direct developed a FactorTest™ matrix that included four creative concepts, seven data models, 10 vertical files and five offers over a three-month test phase. The creative concepts leveraged integrated branding and imagery to align with the client’s existing TV spots. In just 30 days, the campaign was cash positive and producing a rising sales rate.

The Problem

Relying solely on digital and social ads, the brand needed a scalable, cost-effective channel to expand customer acquisition.

The Solution

FM Direct designed a strategic test, leveraging high-LTV customer models to identify the best-performing audiences for direct mail.

The Outcome

The brand acquired 2,000+ customers, achieved a $21 CPA, and beat ROAS goals by 123%.

Sales Rate

The campaign exceeded a 0.7% overall sales rate.

New Customers

Cost Per Acquisition

Even if you already have excellent brand recognition and a robust presence in digital and broadcast media, adding a sophisticated direct mail program will complement and augment your growth in those other channels.

Mid-size bank exceeds acquisition and CPA goals

A mid-size bank wanted to accelerate checking and deposit growth in a newer, low-awareness market. Previous efforts had struggled to gain traction, and leadership needed a partner who could find the right audiences, prove the channel could scale, and deliver measurable growth with a competitive CPA.

Advanced modeling increased high-net-worth engagement

A large financial services brand experienced declining direct mail performance under a previous agency, particularly when targeting affluent households with investable assets exceeding $1 million. They needed a data-driven partner to revive the channel and prove incremental growth with a notoriously hard-to-reach audience.
