What is a Mailshot? How can it work for your business?

A mailshot is a form of Direct Marketing that involves sending customers or prospects communication by post. This is often in the form of a letter, postcard, flyer or even a product sample. Mailshots are generally used to promote / sell a product or service, or to raise awareness of a cause or noteworthy piece of information e.g a car dealership inviting a past or potential customer to an Event promoting a new vehicle.

Mailshots have been around for a long time and are proven to be an effective way of reaching customers and prospects. Mailshots are considered to be more personal than other forms of communication, such as email and social media, and often deliver a greater ROI.
