Drives Consumer Engagement

Beyond convenience, the effectiveness of life event-specific postcard advertising is supported by consumer behavior. In a March 2021 survey, 64% of respondents indicated they change all or some service providers after relocating or purchasing a home. Valpak’s “New Mover” Event Postcards enable businesses to cost-effectively mail “Welcome, new neighbor” offers targeted to new homeowners or movers.

Similarly, Valpak’s “Birthday Mailer” Event Postcard utilizes household-level age and income demographics to profile a business’s best prospects. Consumers want to receive birthday offers in the mail, with 83% agreeing that mail addressed to them for their birthday is appealing and 87% indicating they would likely redeem a personalized birthday postcard offer.

With roughly 10,000 Americans aging into Medicare each day, Valpak also saw a need to develop an audience focus to reach eligible seniors in search of benefits and plan comparisons. Health care agents and insurance providers can now leverage “Medicare” Event Postcards to establish themselves as trusted advisors available to help consumers navigate everything from aging in and open enrollment to supplemental and life insurance.
