B2B lead generation through direct mail: how to reach new customers

Reaching new business customers is becoming increasingly difficult. Inboxes are full, adverts are quickly overlooked, and on LinkedIn, many companies are competing for the same attention. That is why direct mail are of interest for B2B lead generation. With a physical mailing, you literally end up on a potential customer’s desk.

Choose the right prospects

A good B2B email campaign starts with a targeted audience. Instead of approaching thousands of companies at once, it’s better to select organisations that are genuinely of interest. Consider, for example, sector, company size, job title or previous points of contact. A mailing sent personally to a marketing manager or buyer is more likely to stand out than general advertising post.

Attract attention with the shape

A standard letter is easy to put aside. An eye-catching Pop-up Card, printed packaging An interactive email concept piques curiosity and draws more attention to your message. The format should be tailored to what you want to convey. For example, the packaging could first arouse curiosity and then, inside, explain why your product or service is of interest to that specific organisation.

Combine direct mail with sales

Direct mail works particularly well in combination with other channels. Send out a mailing and follow up a few days later by phone or email. This gives you an immediate, concrete starting point for the conversation. What’s more, with a QR code, you can direct recipients to a landing page, an appointment scheduler, a demonstration or a case study.

From an email to a conversation

B2B lead generation isn’t about sending out as much post as possible, but about catching the attention of the right people. With a targeted audience, a personalised message and eye-catching design, direct mail can help turn cold prospects into valuable conversations.
