Personalised Print via the Mail

We have been looking at our data recently with regard GDPR and getting a plan together to ensure we are compliant with the new regulations with regard to email marketing and how we manage our data.

Email marketing is just one area that the new GDPR regulations will cover but while looking into GDPR I thought what a good opportunity this could be for marketing teams and printers. Of course it is yet another hoop that small businesses have to jump through to stay compliant and penalty free. But, for printers, it seems like a good opportunity to promote print.

Survey

A recent survey by Two Sides has highlighted that a high percentage of people prefer to read print. I had to download and print the survey key findings to read it myself – it seems easier that way to take in the information!

Interestingly 59% of people surveyed in the UK do not trust many of the ads they see online and 63% do their best to block or avoid them.  So will an offer be taken more seriously if we print and mail something to a prospective buyer?

Printed Campaigns

Based on the fact people take a mailer more seriously, should we be looking to produce more direct mail and more targeted postal campaigns?

Using personal data is again an area of the GDPR rules that we need to get right. Data has to be protected at all times. But a personalised postal campaign to someone maybe one of the best ways to reach new markets.
