Seeking Cost-Effective Direct Mail Solutions
Taylor Stitch needed a cost-efficient marketing channel.
Wanted to break from reliance on digital ads.
Looked for alternatives to traditional catalog campaigns.
Taylor Stitch, known for their responsible shirting, primarily relied on paid media and email for marketing initiatives but sought to diversify. Their aim was to explore the potential of direct mail marketing without incurring the significant expenses typically associated with traditional catalog campaigns. Lacking the massive budgets and long lead times of traditional vendors, they required a partner who could offer a solution to directly connect with their audiences through a cost-effective and efficient channel.

Task
Implement Direct Mail for Retention
Target unengaged and unsubscribed customers.

Action
Activated Programmatic Direct Mail Campaigns
Set real-time customer engagement parameters.
Automated postcard dispatch based on purchase behavior.
Tested non-discount messaging for higher margins.
