With digital marketing rapidly increasing, letters are just as important as they contain mailing information, business correspondence and marketing materials.

In an ever-growing digital world, we are receiving more and more emails every day.

Letters are a great way to add a personal touch, whilst delivering the same information as an email. Sending a letter is more effective for customer acquisition and we offer a large range of paper and card to meet your needs.

Advantages of letters and emails

Letters

• Consumers act quicker with letters than email

Emails

• Fast and effective way if wanting a response quicker
• More environmental-friendly
• Return on investment is higher than letter

Disadvantages of letters and emails

Letters

• Longer response time
• Spelling mistakes are harder to eliminate
• Time consuming to create
• They can be lost in the post

Emails

• Less personal
• Click of button the email can be sent to the wrong person
• Spam is a big problem, 2/3 of emails are spam
• Attachments can contain viruses
• Access to the internet

They both can be effective with attracting new and existing customers. Printed words can be more engaging than on an email. Recipients are more likely research your brand more if a letter is directly sent to them, than in an email as the recipient could view the email as spam.
