As businesses respond to growing environmental expectations, many are rethinking how they reach their customers. Direct mail remains a powerful channel for customer engagement, and when paired with sustainable practices, it becomes even more relevant. At Send DM, we offer eco-conscious direct mail solutions that support your environmental goals while delivering measurable marketing success.
Why Eco-Conscious Direct Mail Works
Today’s customers prefer to engage with brands that align with their values, especially around sustainability. Eco-conscious direct mail demonstrates your commitment to the environment and helps build trust and differentiate your brand.
Recent JICMail research highlights a significant rise in recycling, with 87% of mail being recycled within 28 days. This marks a 14% point increase year-on-year and supports the growing role of mail in a circular economy, where materials are reused, regenerated and responsibly disposed of.
In partnership with environmental experts WSP, JICMail’s circular economy analysis further validates the sustainability of direct mail through detailed life cycle assessments. These insights, combined with JICMail’s data on audience attention and interaction, empower marketers to plan campaigns that are not only effective but also environmentally responsible.
