WHY DIRECT MAIL STILL WORKS
The largest living generation, millennials were born and raised in the digital age. However, this does not mean they are “digital addicts, and the impact of “digital fatigue” is very real. Direct mail is proven to work with millennials, and recent studies have shown that 90 percent of millennials surveyed find direct mail trustworthy. Moreover, 92 percent of those surveyed shared that mail influenced their purchasing decision. It’s time for savvy marketers to understand mail and millennials, and how to market to this important demographic. In this workshop, you’ll learn:

A DEEPER DIVE INTO MAIL QUALITY DATA THROUGH INFORMED VISIBILITY
Mail Quality Data (MQD) gives you more information about errors in one central location. With MQD, you have the ability to receive uncapped data for errors and warnings. You can also setup daily, weekly, or monthly Secure FTP feeds to be dropped right into your internal server, and customize how your data is presented in the files. In this session, original members of the MQD pilot program will provide a deep dive into what we’ve learned after working with the data for nearly two years. We’ll review tips for navigating the MQD area in Informed Visibility and discuss how to setup feeds online and download reports using different roles—and explain the differences. We’ll also review some of the key data areas in the reports for trouble-shooting MQD errors.
