What is Direct Mail Advertising?

At heart, direct mail advertising is a marketing technique that requires the potential customer to take some sort of action. By sending the advertisement in the mail, immediately the ad is placed directly in front of the consumer. Accomplishing this, the customer is now asked to respond immediately or to take some sort of action. This can include requesting additional information or making a purchase decision, right then and there. Finally, because the advertisement usually needs to be mentioned to receive the service, it can be easily tracked and measured to measure the return on investment. Knowing all this, direct mail advertising can be extremely advantageous if producing statistical results is a requirement.
