Want to Engage the Millennial Market? Use Their Mailbox

millenials

The millennial market is now the nation’s largest living generation, according to the US Census Bureau; the millennials (age 18-34) are projected to number 75.3 million, surpassing the baby boomers by the end of this year. Contrary to popular belief, this digital generation is highly responsive to direct mail marketing campaigns.

“82% of 18-34-year olds cite using print as a stimulus on the path to purchase.” Google/Shopper Sciences, Zero Moment of Truth Macro Study, April 2011

Simply put, if you aren’t reaching out to this generation thru print, you are losing business. Buying decisions are made by brand awareness, followed by research. Unlike other forms of unsolicited advertising, consumers consider direct mail unobtrusive. According to Nielsen, 70% of shoppers look to print advertising at least once a week in their search for sales and promotions. The same study cites that in the future, 90% of consumers say they want to receive sales and promotions via direct mail.
