A Leader in Forresters Interactive Attribution Wave 2Q 2012 Integrating and measuring direct mail with cross-channel attribution Direct mail may seem old school, but it continues to be a very versatile tool for marketers. Although it has been gradually declining, this channel still outperforms many digital direct marketing efforts. Based on data from the Harvard Business Review, direct mail has a $27 ROI that is, each dollar spent on direct mail returned $27. However, measuring the performance of direct mail has always been somewhat of a mystery. How does a marketer measure the influence a direct mail piece has on an online or in-store conversion? Adometry has solved this problem by integrating direct mail with audience data and online databases so marketers can track the impact of direct mail on conversions, and plan smarter marketing campaigns using the most effective combination of channels. Two Ways to Measure Direct Mail and Improve Overall Campaign Conversions Because of printing and postage costs, direct mail can be a large part of a marketing budget. If that portion of a campaign is left unmeasured, then conversions that should be credited to direct mail can be incorrectly attributed to other channels, and the real value of direct mail goes unrecognized. With Adometry Attribute, direct mail campaigns can be leveraged in one of two ways: Aggregate Level Analysis: Adometry Attribute can incorporate direct mail as an offline channel using the total number of mails sent by dates and regions. That data is used in Attributes cross-channel optimization model to generate predictions and recommendations for future direct mail campaigns. This approach is available when user level data is unavailable, such as in the case of when log files are used. User Level Analysis: By using an on-lining service to connect direct mail campaigns to specific conversions and digital touch points, Adometry Attribute can produce all of its attribution reports conversion paths, exclusive reach, channel overlap, frequency capping, and more plus optimization recommendations. This method is available through the Attribute Direct Mail Connector. The Direct Mail Connector is the best way to incorporate a direct mail campaign into the analysis of a campaign, allowing Attribute to model precisely how direct mail interacts with other channels to drive conversions.
