FMD drives 50% cost savings without sacrificing lead quality

financial services

FMD optimized targeting and format, driving more qualified leads while significantly reducing direct mail costs

A wealth management firm needed to drive continued growth while prioritizing higher-value prospects and reducing direct mail costs.

Franklin Madison Direct evaluated campaign performance to identify the prospect lists, formats, and offers that generated the highest number of qualified leads. Using these insights, the team rebuilt prospect models, increased frequency
on top-performing lists, and refined the strategy to prioritize $1M+ audiences. This included redesigning creative into more cost-efficient formats, allowing the campaign to maintain strong performance while reducing overall spend.

By transitioning to a lower-cost mailer that delivered 3x the amount of qualified leads at about half the cost, FMD improved efficiency and helped the client scale high-value customer acquisition more effectively.
