Social Mail

Slate Group Social Mail enhances your direct mail campaigns by allowing you to effectively track the results while integrating the online advertising platforms of Google, Facebook, and Instagram. It can strengthen your brand by ensuring the same message is seen multiple times on multiple platforms by your target audience.

The included features are: SocialMatch, Informed Delivery, Social and Online Follow-Up, Mail Tracking, and Call Tracking. Another feature available is LeadMatch, which is an add-on to Social Mail. All these features are accessed through a personalized dashboard, where you can view the data at any time you want.

SocialMatch

Using SocialMatch, we deliver the same message from your mailing list to your target audience’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. It analyzes your mailing list and matches with accounts on Facebook and Instagram, so they begin to see advertisements before the direct mail even hits their mailbox.

SocialMatch is a 14 day program that begins on your mailing date.

Informed Delivery

This is a USPS feature that allows you to receive a digital preview of your scheduled mail. The digital preview is a grayscale image, but with Social Mail, a full-color advertisement will be placed next to the grayscale picture. The advertisement will link to your webpage and allow them to begin to have another point of contact with the information your direct mail campaign is providing.

When the prospect clicks on the advertisement and is directed to your website, they will receive a “cookie” activating your online and social media follow-up features.

Online and Social Media Follow-Up

This feature pairs your direct mail campaign with Facebook, Instagram, and the Google Display Network. We’ll help you add a unique tracking code which will activate online advertisements that follow your audience as they navigate Facebook, Instagram, and the Google Display Network.

Anybody who comes to your website while the Social Mail campaign is active will receive a cookie. It is not limited to your mailing list. These follow-up features create multiple points of contact, keeping your brand at the top your audience’s mind.

Mail Tracking

With Mail Tracking, you can track mail right down to the individual address to see if they have received it. This feature is fully integrated with Informed Visibility and displayed graphically with Google Maps. You can export lists and reports with city, state, and zip code.

Call Tracking

With call tracking, you get a unique local or toll free number for each direct mail campaign, so you’ll know who called because of the campaign. Demographic data will be collected from each phone call, allowing you to know what audience members were most influenced by your direct mail campaign.

You will be able to download reports about the calls and the demographics of the callers. The demographics available for each caller is: name, address, device (home or cell), gender, age, business or residential number. And, just like Mail Tracking, Call Tracking is also graphically displayed on Google Maps.

LeadMatch

LeadMatch will track and record all website visitors, regardless of whether they came from your direct mail campaign or not, along with what actions they took on your website. LeadMatch allows you to expand your original mailing list by adding on the unique visitors that weren’t originally on it.

You can add LeadMatch to Social Mail and purchase available records, mailing list matches, and non-mailing list matches.
