Black Friday and Christmas Direct Mail Incentive 2019
13 Nov 2019
Black Friday is set to, once again, be one of the biggest shopping events in the UK calendar this year. It’s a prime time for retailers to communicate with their target audience to win new customers and boost sales.
The Christmas period is also a great time to show your customers they are appreciated and to encourage more business from them.
On the build up to the Black Friday event and Christmas period, Royal Mail have introduced their own incentive providing businesses with discounts on postage rates. You can send Advertising Mail, Responsible Mail and Partially Addressed Mail, on incremental volumes for as little as 12 pence per item.

Why Focus on Direct Mail?
Direct mail marketing has a way of engaging people on a deeper level than digital messaging.
People trust paper and the brain retains the information for much longer than it does for digital messaging. You can also use direct mail to engage with customers who have declined to be contacted digitally through SMS and e-mail.
With the advancements in digital print technology and the use of AI, retailers can now create highly targeted direct mail to deliver the right message, at the right time to generate action.
Machine learning, the technology behind AI, can produce accurate predictions from data, which enables direct mail to provide a tailored experience for each individual customer, no matter their buying habits.
Your direct mail pieces can feel even more personal and have more of an impact.
