There’s never been a better time to dive into triggered direct mail.
Here’s how it works. Based on what action a consumer takes, a particular trigger determines the type of message that is sent. The communication goes out quickly, within 24 to 48 hours, while the action and motive are fresh in the mind of the consumer. As a result, the attention of a highly qualified prospect may be captured at the peak of their purchasing probability.
