Dry cleaners drive business with direct mail marketing

Direct mail is still one of the leading ways for marketers to issue coupons to consumers, but many companies have begun enhancing their strategies by using a multichannel approach.

For example, the dry cleaning industry utilizes direct mail to issue its consumers coupons. Eighty-four percent of dry cleaners promote business with coupons, Wire magazine reported, according to American Dry Cleaner, with 31.9 percent sending the marketing materials via direct mail.

However, a significant number of these companies – 28.8 percent – are establishing themselves on channels such as social media, and 24.3 percent are sending out in-house generated email marketing campaigns.

Companies looking to launch a direct mail marketing campaign should consider launching a postcard initiative, in addition to its other materials, as postcards are relatively inexpensive yet still impact the audience receiving them.
