But what about an organization with a small marketing budget? You may end up feeling like you’re playing a game without a full team on the field.
A small marketing budget can seem like a major hindrance to a successful marketing campaign. As you are already probably aware, direct marketing is ideal because it can be targeted, is trackable, and you can see exactly what ROI you generate for your business.
So where do we go from here? First, establish your budget and consider the following questions:
- How many mailers am I sending?
- Will I need to rent a mailing list? How much will that cost?
- What is the optimal size and format for the mailing? What postage will it require?
- Should I outsource my creative, printing and mailing tasks? What’s the cost of doing so?
- What quality of materials do I want to use? Will I be using custom photography or stock images?
- What kind of testing will I run?
- Will I include a special offer? What costs will be associated?
- Will I need to hire help to handle responses from the campaign?
- What are the costs of other media I may use to complement my direct mail efforts?
