Have you ever walked into a party, and within minutes (maybe even seconds), wanted to leave? Most of us have been there — we were invited to an event, but it ended up not being what we expected. Maybe the food didn’t look appetizing, the people weren’t very friendly, or it just didn’t give you good vibes.

Ask yourself a quick question: How much of your current marketing spend is on direct mail? The common misconception is that direct mail is outdated, yet direct mail advertising is valued at $72.67 billion dollars, says the Direct Mail Advertising Global Market Report 2022, and it’s expected to grow at a compound annual rate of .3% by 2026.
