Today, ineffective marketing can cost companies thousands of dollars, or even shut down business entirely. There’s a misconception of direct mail being a marketing medium of the past, but modern studies not only prove it works, it is relevant and thriving. Direct mail outperforms all digital channels by nearly 700% in terms of response rates (2015 DMA Response Rate Report).

The DMCC seminar will not only cover direct marketing, but how to successfully integrate highly-targeted direct mail with digital marketing such as online, social, email and mobile. With 4 hours of valuable knowledge sharing, including real case studies, attendees will take home the industry’s best kept secrets to launch powerhouse direct mail campaigns that get new customers, keep loyal followers and increase sales.

The people, the food, the entertainment, and the fact that it’s one of the best walking cities in the country. But the thing I love most about hosting seminars in Chicago is the passion of the business people in the city. They are willing to share stories about what helped them become successful as well as openly discussing the challenges they are having. It’s important to hear how businesses are doing in different regions around the country, and with Chicago as the mid-west’s trend-setting city, I always get a great read on the direction things are going in that region,” Goodman said.

With over 20 years of industry experience, Keith is one of the nation’s top experts in direct mail marketing.
