Does direct mail have a powerful role in your 2024 marketing mix?

Here are 5 reasons it should. In a world of ad blockers and spam folders, direct mail feels like a safe haven for marketers and consumers alike. Even new brands are turning to direct mail to make a larger impact on key audiences. In a USPS survey, 72% of Gen Z respondents said they're "excited to discover what the mail brings every day."

🎄😂 As busy as the holidays can be, we hope you find time to unwind and share some good laughs with friends and family.
With that spirit in mind, we created a short video using AI tools to bring some of the best (meaning the worst) Holiday Dad Jokes to life. 🧑‍🎄🤦‍♂️
💙 And while we’re celebrating, we’re also remembering what this season is truly about. Realizing that our Caribbean neighbors still need support during the holidays and beyond, DCI is making a donation to Team Rubicon in support of Team Rubicon’s Hurricane Melissa response in Jamaica.
Laughter, gratitude, and giving — that’s what the season is all about. 🌍✨
