If a franchisor is only as good as its franchisees, and its franchisees are only as good as their sales, success ultimately boils down to the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
With Taradel’s Every Door Direct Mail® (EDDM®) solution, franchisors can make powerful direct mail marketing easy and affordable, while maintaining full control of all creative, offers, and branding.
The result? Happier franchisees, more sales, more revenue, and a marketing platform that looks like it came from the future.
Driving Sales Through An Effective Channel
A recent online survey conducted showed that the average American is bombarded with over 5,000 advertisements per fiscal quarter. About 86% of viewers skip through or ignore TV commercials, and 91% of consumers have unsubscribed from an email subscription which they had earlier opted in. In other words, digital media is completely saturated and its effectiveness in driving actual transactions (branding and awareness is another story) is dropping, fast.The key benefit of direct mail? It guarantees visibility and “forces” interaction. Even if someone immediately trashes a printed offer, it still makes an impression and still delivers value – whether short term or long term.
And every marketer knows that the key to success is multiple impressions. Whether a consumer makes a purchase the first time they receive an offer, the third time, or the twenty-seventh time, your franchisee will remain top of mind when a consumer needs or wants your product or service.
Plus, mail delivered by the USPS® is seen as more professional, trustworthy, and authoritative than offers delivered through virtually cost-free and spam-friendly mediums such as email, websites, and banner ads.
In other words, direct mail is more trusted, more impactful, and results in more transactions.
