This approach has proven to be more personable and has a better response rate than cold outreach.
How do handwritten note campaigns compare to other forms of outreach?
Handwritten note campaigns have a response rate that is 7X to 10X higher than email campaigns. According to research from Mailchimp, the average email click through rate is 2.57%. In contrast, IgnitePost’s average response rate is 22%, with some customers seeing as high as a 31% response from cold outreach!
Why are handwritten note campaigns so effective?
According to Statista, almost 320 billion marketing emails are expecting to be sent daily by 2021. As a result, inboxes are being overflowed, making it increasingly difficult to get the attention of prospects & customers. Regular direct mail has also become ineffective, with 20% of direct mail being thrown away without being opened. However, handwritten notes have a high chance of reaching the recipient due to its personalization and unique touch.
