1 in 4 leaders can’t answer key questions about the logistics of their last mail campaign. Can you?

 

For this year’s State of Direct Mail: Business Insights, we surveyed 250 senior marketing and operations leaders to understand where mail breaks, why surprise costs happen, and what high-ROI teams do differently. What they said might just shape your strategy.



Here’s a preview of what we found


	-  Logistics is the #1 blind spot. 87% of business leaders say printing, shipping, and delivery create hidden risks.
	- Direct mail budgets are rising across the board. Companies now devote 25% of total marketing spend to the channel.
	-  Without internal logistics ownership, USPS changes can disrupt planning. 84% of leaders struggle to keep up with pricing and service updates.
