It can inspire someone to act.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In fact, USPS research found that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspsdelivers.com\/omnichannel-strategies\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">62% of consumers say direct mail has inspired them to take action<\/a>.<\/strong> Among those who acted, 43% visited the brand&#8217;s website and 31% purchased a product or signed up for a service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Andrea&#8217;s story puts a real-world example behind those numbers. For local businesses using Every Door Direct Mail\u00ae (EDDM\u00ae), it also highlights an important marketing lesson: sometimes your next customer already has a need. Your job is to reach them at the right moment.<\/p>\n<h2>Sometimes, Customers Just Need a Push<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Not every customer who sees your advertising is starting from zero.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Someone may have been meaning to find a new dentist. A homeowner may have been putting off calling a landscaper. A family may have talked about trying the new restaurant down the street. Someone else may know they need a service but hasn&#8217;t gotten around to researching their options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Then your postcard arrives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Suddenly, there&#8217;s a business name, an offer, a phone number, a QR code, or a website sitting right in front of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That postcard can turn <strong>\u201cI&#8217;ve been meaning to do that\u201d<\/strong> into <strong>\u201cI&#8217;ll do it now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That&#8217;s what makes Andrea&#8217;s <em>\u201cthe postcard was my sign\u201d<\/em> story so compelling. The mailpiece didn&#8217;t have to create a need from scratch. <strong>It reached someone who was already considering taking action and gave them a reason to take the next step.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Direct Mail Doesn&#8217;t Just Get Attention. It Drives Action.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Research suggests Andrea&#8217;s experience isn&#8217;t an isolated one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Along with the <strong>62% of consumers who say direct mail has inspired them to take action<\/strong>, USPS research found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspsdelivers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/USPS_Delivers_Direct_Mail_ROI.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"><strong>70% of consumers rate direct mail as very or extremely useful when making purchase decisions<\/strong><\/a>, compared with 50% who say the same about digital ads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That distinction matters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Advertising isn&#8217;t only about generating an impression. Ultimately, businesses want that impression to lead somewhere: a website visit, phone call, appointment, quote request, store visit, or purchase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A physical mailpiece gives customers something tangible they can act on immediately\u2014or potentially return to when they&#8217;re ready.<\/p>\n<h2>Why EDDM Works Especially Well for Local Businesses<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For a local business, <em>where<\/em> your message appears can be just as important as what it says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Every Door Direct Mail allows businesses to select neighborhoods and carrier routes and reach households throughout those areas. That makes EDDM particularly useful for businesses whose customers tend to come from the surrounding community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Think restaurants, dentists, HVAC companies, landscapers, roofers, real estate agents, gyms, salons, auto shops, and other businesses that depend on nearby customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of waiting for someone to discover your business, <strong>EDDM puts your message directly into mailboxes throughout the areas you want to serve.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And somewhere along that route could be someone who has already been thinking about exactly what your business offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Give Customers a Reason to Act Now<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Getting into the right mailbox is only part of the equation. Your postcard also needs to make the next step obvious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A strong EDDM postcard should quickly communicate <strong>who you are, what you offer, why the recipient should care, and what they should do next.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Offers can help provide an additional push. USPS research found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspsdelivers.com\/omnichannel-strategies\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"><strong>64% of consumers who acted on direct mail said an offer or promotion influenced their decision.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Depending on your business, that could be a new-customer discount, free estimate, limited-time promotion, special event, coupon, or another compelling reason to respond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Pair it with a clear call to action such as <strong>Call Today<\/strong>, <strong>Get a Free Quote<\/strong>, <strong>Scan to Schedule<\/strong>, <strong>Visit Us This Weekend<\/strong>, or <strong>Redeem This Offer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If someone already has a need, don&#8217;t make them work to figure out what to do next.<\/p>\n<h2>Be the Postcard That Shows Up at the Right Time<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can&#8217;t know exactly when every potential customer will need your product or service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But you <em>can<\/em> make sure your business is showing up in the neighborhoods you want to reach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Your postcard could arrive while a homeowner is thinking about finally fixing their roof. While a family is deciding where to eat this weekend. While someone is searching for a new dentist. Or while a potential customer has simply been waiting for a reason to take the next step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That&#8217;s what Andrea&#8217;s story captures so well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Sometimes, <strong>a postcard arrives at just the right moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And your postcard could be their sign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ready to reach more local customers?
