Selecting the right partner for your direct mail campaign can make all the difference in achieving your marketing goals. The Unites States Postal Service (USPS) is a well-established service with extensive reach across the United States. However, if you’re looking for more than just reliable delivery, BirdseyePost offers a range of advanced features that can take your campaign to the next level. Here’s a closer look at how BirdseyePost compares to USPS.
1. Full-Service Campaign Management: From Start to Finish
USPS is known for its dependable delivery services, but when it comes to managing a direct mail campaign, their offerings are limited. BirdseyePost provides full-service campaign management, guiding you through every step, from initial planning to final execution. Our team ensures that your campaign runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on your core business while we handle the details.
2. Instant Lead Capture with SnapCapture™
In a competitive market, timing is everything. While USPS offers standard mail delivery and tracking, BirdseyePost’s SnapCapture technology allows you to capture leads instantly when recipients scan a QR code on your mailer. This immediate lead generation enables you to follow up promptly, capitalizing on your audience's interest while it’s fresh.
3. In-House Studio with Unlimited Creative Design Services
Design is a key factor in the success of any direct mail campaign. USPS can handle your mailing, but they don’t provide creative services. BirdseyePost’s in-house studio offers unlimited design options, ensuring that your mailers are visually compelling and perfectly aligned with your brand identity. Whether you need a new concept or a complete overhaul, our creative team is ready to bring your ideas to life.
4. Precision Audience Targeting: Beyond the Basics
USPS provides basic targeting options, such as geographic location and household size. BirdseyePost, however, goes much further, offering precision audience targeting based on deep demographic and behavioral data. Whether you’re looking to target pet owners, families with children, or consumers with specific shopping habits, our data-driven approach ensures your mailers reach the most relevant prospects.
5. Hyper-Personalized Direct Mail with SmartMaps™
Personalization is more than just a buzzword; it’s a proven strategy for increasing engagement. USPS can help you address your mail to specific names, but BirdseyePost takes personalization to the next level. We customize each piece of mail with the product, offer, and copy most likely to resonate with each recipient. This hyper-personalized approach ensures your message isn’t just seen—it’s acted upon.
With BirdseyePost’s SmartMaps, we will generates unique maps based on each recipient's location, guiding them directly from their address to your closest store or location. These dynamic store locators are hyper-local, highly personalized, and designed to drive foot traffic in a way standard mail cannot.
6. Comprehensive Dashboard with Real-Time Tracking and Insights
Tracking your campaign’s performance is vital for measuring success. USPS provides basic tracking, but BirdseyePost offers a comprehensive dashboard that provides detailed insights into your campaign’s performance. With custom QR codes and links, you can track how recipients interact with your mailers, allowing you to refine your strategy for even greater effectiveness.
