Direct mail has always been about reaching the right person with the right message. But today, “personalization” can mean much more than simply adding a recipient’s name to the top of a letter. With better data and the right printing technology, organizations can create mail that is more relevant to the individual receiving it, from customized messaging and offers to audience-specific content and personalized donor communications.
