The Ultimate Guide to Setting Direct Mail Goals That Work

One of the main reasons direct mail campaigns fail is the lack of clear goals. Before launching your next campaign, take the time to define your objectives. Many businesses skip this step because they find it challenging, don’t know where to start, or aren’t sure what’s expected of them. But setting the right goals is crucial — without them, your campaign is just a shot in the dark.

To help you get started, here’s a practical guide to setting effective direct mail goals that drive results.

Key Components of Direct Mail Goal Setting:

2) Be Specific
3) Stay Flexible
4) Make It Challenging but Achievable
5) Ensure Your Goals Are Supported
6) Write Down and Share Your Goals

This is the third reprieve Google has given cookies since it first promised to phase them out in 2020. The next year, it pushed the date back to 2023 and then delayed it again to 2024. In its latest postponement, Google said in a blog, “we envision proceeding with third-party cookie deprecation starting early next year.” The search giant seemed on its way to phasing out cookies earlier this year after it cut off access to 1 percent of cookies in January. However, how and when Google would phase out a greater percentage of cookies was never clear, multiple ad industry insiders said.
