Mail still has a place in the marketing mix.  The blasts are good for some dealers, but only if there is a relevant event and a good call center for follow-ups.


I had to become a civilian (left the dealership as a customer) to better understand how visually powerful the right piece of mail is.  Letters - no F'n way!  Postcards with graphics - yes! 


When I moved to Vermont, my mailbox was filled with dealers' offers.  Each one made an impression, and some were even intriguing.  That was 15 years ago, and I still remember those mailers.  There is something much more memorable about a physical thing than a digital text or email.
