How to Measure the Success of your Direct Mail Campaign
Here’s how to measure the success of your direct mail campaign:
Trackable phone number:
You can measure the response rate of your direct mail campaign by using call tracking. Please make sure you have a different call tracking number for every piece of direct mail you send. Here’s how to set up your phone tracking:
- Please set up a dedicated phone number that will automatically forward to your business line. You can track how many calls come through the line to determine your response rate.
- Could you enlist the services of a call-tracking company? They will often provide you with the ability to playback calls you receive.
- If you want to use your regular business phone number on your piece, please make sure your staff is keeping track.
Trackable URLs:
When sending out your direct mail campaign, including a unique URL that points to a custom landing page on your website, by making a URL that is unique to your direct mail campaign, you will be able to use analytics tools to find out the sum of people who have visited your webpage.
QR Codes:
You can add a QR code to your direct mail campaign that leads directly to your custom landing page on your website. They will be sent to your bespoke landing page whenever they scan it with their phone. You can track how many people have visited your unique landing page in your analytics.
Traffic From Websites and Social Media:
Keep an eye on both of these during the campaign. Using analytics, you can track if there are any spikes in traffic to your site, impressions and how many engaged to determine how your campaign affected these metrics.
