Q: What can I expect from Conceptual Minds as my automotive direct mail marketing partner?
A: At Conceptual Minds, we use a 4-step process proven to deliver our auto service provider clients results when it comes to maximizing their direct mail investment.
- We start by taking a deep dive into your current marketing efforts and attempt to understand your strategy, and the results of these efforts. This analysis allows our team to understand gaps or areas of opportunities.
- Next, we use our proven consumer research tactics and high-quality lists to identify consumers that are most likely to respond and purchase services from you as a result of receiving contents by direct mail.
- Step three involves identifying the best type of campaign, messaging, and creative that will connect with your selected target audience.
- Finally, in step four we execute your campaign(s), and establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to continuously measure how each campaign is doing, add on to what’s working, and eliminate messages, creative, or direct mail types that aren’t doing well.
Q: How quickly can Conceptual Minds launch my automotive direct mail campaign(s)?
A: Of course, the time from start to finish depends on the type, size, and scale of your campaign(s). In general, from the time you say go, we can help you create your print collateral (whether it’s Valpak coupons, Valassis mailers, new movers, or reminder postcards) and launch your campaign in about 30-45 days.
