As
advertisements make strides towards a more digitally inclined focus, there are
still traditional vehicles working to stay as a credible source for
advertisers. One of those vehicles is the United States Postal Service (USPS)
which is a big player with direct mail. In fact, advertising mail was
approximately a quarter of its revenue in 2013 at $16.9 billion.
According
to MediaPost, the USPS is currently working on options to increase popularity
of direct mail. An option to do just that is making the direct mail pieces
interactive with consumers; this could translate to a scannable code. These
codes could allow the audience access to provide feedback to advertisers,
receive coupons, or redeem rewards as a form of motivation.
The
thought behind this addition is that it can theoretically help advertisers
track the responsive audience quickly, and reduce the “junk mail” to
unresponsive households.
