Repetition, Repetition, Repetition

Repeatedly mail the same  or slightly changed direct mail package or letter  to the same people.  Often a constant logo and color scheme can become an identifying aspect of a mailing.    The average person is exposed to an overwhelming assortment of sales, marketing, and advertising messages every day.   Repetition can be a key element of triggering recognition, trust and memory.

How frequently should you send your direct mail? Depends on the purpose and goal of your mailings.  Quarterly is probably a good idea for starters. But, as with everything else in direct mail, test to determine the optimum frequency.

Send a series of mailings to qualified prospects

Make sure your list contains qualified prospects. The emphasis is on "qualified".   In every mailing, always give a reason and a method for responding.   Always ask for some kind of action.  Remember, those that don't respond at first may very well respond later.  Secret #1:  Repetition, repetition, repetition.
