FM Direct optimized acquisition costs for a leading fitness brand
A prominent connected fitness brand sought to scale its new audience reach and increase conversions while effectively measuring the incremental cost of acquisition (CAC). Previously managing their own mailings in-house, they needed a reliable direct mail partner to take their program to the next level. Franklin Madison Direct’s comprehensive agency services and sophisticated testing methodology produced a 20% cost savings within the first year. After proving its value early on, the partnership continued to strengthen as the two worked together to drive scale and elevate the program. Surround™, a timely digital campaign synced with mail’s in home window, was introduced to propel conversions further and quickly became a consistent campaign element. To continue to optimize costs while expanding reach, FM Direct suggested complimenting solo mail with a shared mail program that surpassed performance expectations and hit CAC goals. For the past five years, direct mail has emerged as a top-performing channel that facilitates sustained growth — fueled by a versatile marketing strategy and a truly collaborative partnership.
