Direct mail
The power of print: Why direct mail?
According to Canada Post's extensive 2015 neuromarketing research study:
- Direct mail is easier to understand and more memorable than digital media. It requires 21% less cognitive effort to process and elicits brand recall that is 70% higher than digital advertising.
- Direct mail is far more persuasive than digital media. Its motivation response is 20% higher – up to 33% higher for sensory direct mail pieces.
- Direct mail is visually processed quicker than digital media. When paired with higher motivation and lower cognitive effort, it gets the message across faster.
- Direct mail is more likely to drive behaviour than digital media. This was true for all age groups. *
