Brands Drive Direct Mail Engagement Through Informed Delivery

Thursday, October 29, 2020 - 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

It isn't easy to replace the value of having a letter in-hand, but USPS is responding to consumers' increasing desire to interact and communicate digitally with everything, including mail. Informed Delivery enhances the value of physical mail by creating a new touchpoint through digital content, including a custom image and URL. Mailers and recipients can participate in interactive campaigns, providing an integrated approach to meet today's consumer demands. 

While Informed Delivery and the brands leveraging it have seen a great deal of success, many are still unaware of its benefits and impacts. During this session, Fernando Mello, Informed Delivery Manager for USPS, and Tracy Brooks, SVP, Salem One, will share an overview of Informed Delivery, specific use cases by industry, and benefits to brands and their customers. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Overview and background on Informed Delivery
  • Best practices and results of how brands are leveraging Informed Delivery today
  • What is next for Informed Delivery, with a focus on customer engagement and experience
