What is Direct Mail?

Direct Mail is a powerful form of Direct Marketing whereby businesses send physical materials such as printed matter to their customer’s (past & present) and / or potential customers. The material is ‘mailed’ through either the postal network or a door-to-door distribution which can involve targeting specific demographics or distributed as partially addressed mail.

The goal for these campaigns is often to raise marketing awareness or to sell a product or service via an attractive offer or a unique feature. Commonly sent Direct Mail includes letters, postcards, flyers, product samples and brochures / catalogues. In most cases mail is sent in bulk.

Our Direct Mail Solutions

Direct Mail is often complex due to personalisation & tailoring messages to each segment within your data. It can often prove difficult to manage in-house, especially medium / high volumes.

Using a mailing house to help with your Direct Mail is a great way to deliver campaigns faster, accurately and more professionally; often at a lower price than your in-house cost.

At Central Mailing Services we offer a range of services to help deliver the perfect Direct Mail campaign, including:

  • Creative – graphic design
  • Data Cleansing & Management
  • Print
  • Personalisation
  • Fulfilment
  • Postage
  • Returns Management

Our in-house Bureau department can cleanse and prepare your mailing data and we can produce high-quality personalised print using our in-house Xerox Print Centre. We have a variety of high-speed envelope and polythene enclosing machines available.

We are able to produce postage cost savings using our buying power and expertise for all international and domestic postage using our bespoke routing matrix (SELECTA). We can also manage returned mail to help provide insight and reduce waste from mailings & lower costs for future campaigns – all of which improve your ROI.

Our Award Winning Client Services Team will work with you to understand your unique requirements. We always aim to add real value by being pro-active and suggestive. Our aim is to provide a quality service to all customers, and we take great pride in being a Customer Service Excellence certified business, as well as being rated 5 stars: Excellent on Trustpilot.
