Summary
Print continues to have a place in the marketing mix - because it works.
Four-fifths (79%) of consumers will act on direct mail immediately
compared to only 45% who say they deal with email straightaway.
Targeted directed mail boasts a 4.4% response rate, compared to email’s
rate of 0.12%.
That is why online brands like Airbnb launch print magazines to reach
important stakeholder.
“The catalogue is an amazing way of showing our customer curated product imagery, which is hard to replicate online
or in email form. We are also able to give our ranges an editorial viewpoint, which is becoming increasingly
important. The challenge we face is finding the right mix of relevant printed material to excite and engage the
customer whilst complementing the digital experience”. “We really value the tactile experience it gives our
customers. We know it’s a powerful tool and is particularly loved by our best customers who really engage with it.”
Matthew Hiscock, director of global marketing at Boden
