Multi-channel marketing lifts conversions and drives 2,000+ unique leads for investment brand
Having experienced success with direct mail as a standalone channel, a personal investment brand was looking for proof that an integrated campaign would lift performance and generate more qualified leads. Franklin Madison Direct set up a testing environment to demonstrate the advantages of operating a combined direct mail and digital campaign over direct mail alone. The brand began their journey with Surround, employing a strategic sequence of timely digital touches based on the corresponding direct mail drop. Compared to a holdout audience of prospects that only received direct mail, FM Direct’s multi-channel digital and direct mail strategy delivered an exceptional lift in campaign performance and outperformed the control group.

The Solution

The Outcome
The integrated campaign lifted conversion rates by 85% and generated 2,000+ unique leads and 11,500+ conversions.
