WHY PHYSICAL MAIL WORKS
Attention you can hold.
Digital messages can disappear with a swipe. A well-designed postcard arrives in the home, can be handled more than once, and gives your business a physical place in a local customer’s day.
MEASURED IN THE HOME
Mail has more than one moment to be noticed.
JICMAIL’s Q4 2025 household panel found that a direct-mail item was interacted with several times and remained in the home for more than a week on average.

WHAT CONSUMERS SAY
Mail can feel immediate, credible, and relevant.
Lob’s 2025 consumer survey found that people often engage with mail promptly and that relevant, personalized mail can influence action.
Read it promptly
Respondents said they read direct mail immediately or on the same day.
See credibility
Respondents said brands that send mail seem more credible.

Respondents said relevance and personalization influence them to act.

PHYSICAL MEETS DIGITAL
Paper can start the journey. Digital can finish it.
A postcard does not have to compete with digital marketing. It can create the first moment of attention, then guide an interested customer to a website, offer, or booking page.

SOURCES AND CONTEXT
Evidence, with the fine print.
The figures on this page come from different research methods and markets. JICMAIL measures mail activity in UK households, while Lob’s 2025 findings are self-reported responses from a U.S. consumer survey. They provide useful context, but no advertising result is guaranteed.
YOUR MESSAGE. THEIR MAILBOX.
