Strategic digital integration maximized direct mail’s impact
After a successful launch into the mail channel, this meal delivery service was eager to maximize direct mail’s potential as a high-performing marketing channel. Franklin Madison Direct recommended merging the strengths of direct mail and digital advertising by reaching direct mail recipients through digital impressions before and during the mail delivery process via Surround™. A holdout test provided a clear comparison between two audience segments, proving that branded direct mail along with branded digital content achieved notably higher conversion rates than branded direct mail and a PSA ad. By leveraging the combination of offline and online touchpoints, the client achieved increased brand exposure, reduced cost per acquisition (CPA), and improved conversion rates.
The Problem
Struggling to maximize direct mail ROI, the meal delivery service needed a cost-effective way to increase engagement and conversions.
The Solution
FM Direct implemented Surround, aligning digital ads with direct mail timing to enhance audience engagement and drive higher response rates.
The Outcome
With a 38% sales increase, the success validated Surround as a long-term strategy for sustained growth.
