What is programmatic direct mail?

Performance Display ads are image-based advertisements on websites, apps, or social media on the top, bottom, or side of a webpage. They can display rich media such as graphics, images, video, and audio.
Direct Mail

High response rate

The average response rate to direct mail is 2.7% to 4.4%, while an email has around 0.6%. Plus, 42.2% of direct mail recipients either read or scan the mail they get, increasing the chance that your mail will be seen.

Great ROI

The average return on investment is $4.09 for $1.27 spent on direct mail and direct mail recipients purchase 28% more items than people who don’t receive that piece of mail.

Personalization

The programmatic platform analyzes the digital actions that users are taking, such as website visits, browsing patterns, and shopping cart abandonment, to trigger the dispatch of highly personalized physical mail.
