Meeting Purpose: Discuss direct mail marketing strategies and tactics for financial advisors.

Key Takeaways:

  • Direct mail gets more attention than email due to low volume of physical mail.
  • Newsletters are an easy and effective tactic for client communication.
  • Targeted, personalized direct mail works better than broad, generic campaigns.
  • Ongoing prospect follow-up via direct mail is very effective but rarely done well.
  • Tracking responses is critical to optimize campaigns over time.

  • Monthly print newsletters are the easiest way to stay top of mind.
  • Include community outreach, advisor activities rather than just technical info.
  • Newsletters get calls even if contact info is saved elsewhere. Targeting and Personalization

  • Personalized mail with custom messaging converts better.
  • Find targeted lists through magazines, associations etc. Ongoing Prospect Follow-up
