Personalizing a marketing campaign with someone ’ s name , company , or other details can bump response by 3 – 5 times , but it has to be done correctly to have the positive impact you ’ re looking for .

Today , it can still bump response , provided you ’ re not overusing it on every email promotion you ’ re sending . One of our most successful direct mail campaigns used an image of our client ’ s website mail-merged onto the front of a card in a see-through envelope . We got a 30 % response rate when we sent it to current clients — from direct mail ! Another more recent direct mail piece got a similar bump . It ’ s a mailer we used for promoting our Roadshow event this past fall that displayed custom Google Map directions from the person ’ s address to the seminar location . We only mailed people within a six-hour driving distance . Such personalization truly gets people ' s attention and bumps response .
It worked because the personalization aroused the curiosity of the recipient , and we have a great relationship with our list . I suspect the mailer also
