Carrier route marketing is one of the best ways to get your message into the hands of your specific prospects cost effectively. You can mail to a specific area in a specific ZIP code by using a carrier route map, which you can get at www.maponics.com
Then choose six to twelve carrier routes where your best prospects live or work. Each carrier route holds approximately 300 to 800 addresses depending upon where you live.
This is a very powerful tool because it allows you to pick and choose exactly which areas will receive your marketing message. Unlike mailing to a complete ZIP code, carrier route marketing lets you be very targeted and it saves you money.
After choosing your best carrier routes write down each carrier route number and send it to your list broker. Tell your list broker you want the names and addresses of each household in this particular carrier route. Let your list broker that you need the first and last names of each prospect separated in a spreadsheet file. This allows you or your mail house to personalize your message with your prospects first name.
Let’s say you own a chiropractic office. You want to target upscale neighborhoods. Once you have a carrier route map you can determine “exactly” which neighborhoods are affluent, and which ones are middle class. Carrier route maps cut down on wasteful spending which saves you from marketing to prospects who really don’t need your product or service.
The key to carrier route marketing is to choose six to twelve carrier routes. Send your marketing message to “one” carrier route every month for twelve months. If you choose six carrier routes you should mail to your prospects twice a year. This will give you a steady flow of new customers cost effectively, AND you’ll build name recognition within your community.
Be sure you “test” your marketing message on small carrier routes to ensure that you receive a good response prior to rolling out a large campaign.
Remember that carrier route marketing is just one way to market your offline business and you must incorporate several different cost effective marketing strategies in today’s economy.
