Contrary to popular belief, direct mail is alive and thriving in 2018. In today’s technological climate, email promotions have a distinctively disingenuous, impersonal feel to them. I know when I open an email promotion, I begin to feel insignificant because I realize all too quickly that several hundreds, even thousands, of other people have been sent that exact same email. Concrete, tangible, direct mail responds to these largely insincere sentiments through the physical connection it makes with the recipient. Data released through a 2016 USPS report substantiate this claim decisively.

Direct Mail Statistics on Millennials

Shockingly, according to the report, 87% of millennials enjoy receiving direct mail. More importantly for business owners, 77% of millennials react to direct mail advertising. Though the study is limited to the experience and preferences of millennials, it still casts an optimistic light on the future of direct mail. This report from the USPS indicates that current and future business leaders will continue finding value and meaning from direct mail.
