How to Measure the Success of Your Direct Mail Campaign

If you’re like most car dealerships, you’ve been using direct mail as a way to reach out to potential customers for years. But how do you know if your direct mail campaigns are actually working? In this blog post, we’ll show you how to measure the success of your direct mail campaigns so that you can make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.

There are a few different metrics you can use to measure the success of your direct mail campaigns. The first is response rate. This is the percentage of people who respond to your direct mail campaign by either visiting your dealership or calling you. Our clients typically see a response rate for a direct mail campaign within 2-3%.

Another metric you can use is conversion rate. This is the percentage of people who responded to your campaign and ended up buying a car from you. Our clients see a conversion rate for their direct mail campaigns around 10-15%.

Finally, you can also measure the ROI of your direct mail campaigns by looking at the cost per lead. This is the amount of money you spend on your campaign divided by the number of leads it generates. Our clients typically see an ROI around $25 – $50 for every $1 spent.

Direct mail can be a great way to generate leads for your dealership. But it’s important to measure the success of your campaigns so that you know you’re getting a good return on your investment. By tracking the response rate, conversion rate, and cost per lead, you can make sure that your direct mail campaigns are as successful as possible.
