Today’s top brands are leaning into proven strategies that combine innovation, data-driven insights, and omnichannel alignment to capture target audience attention and drive response. Direct mail, backed by its increasingly strong track record and growing consumer sentiment, holds its place as a high-impact channel in this mix.

The 2025 benchmark report shows that when mail is tested, personalized, and seamlessly integrated with digital channels, both marketers and consumers see the difference.

• Direct mail beats digital: At least half of respondents believe direct mail is more effective than digital marketing in driving key objectives.
• The mail channel is a consumer favorite: direct mail is the second most enjoyable form of advertising (second only to TV/video streaming).
• Omnichannel strategies drive performance: 97% of respondents report that integration positively impacts campaign performance.
• Budgets follow performance: 87% of marketers plan to increase or maintain their direct mail budgets over the next 12 months.
