Direct mail is the single-most reliable source of new members for a membership organization. Prospective members still have to be targeted, invited and enticed to join! The best way to do this is with the pinpoint accuracy of a well-developed direct mail campaign.
Direct Mail is also still the most productive means of conducting renewal, lapsed, and annual appeal campaigns! Lapsed members should be part of every acquisition campaign and receive a special lapsed member appeal inviting them to renew their memberships.
