Online ads enhance response rates across other channels. Brand impressions online can increase direct mail response, and vice versa.
Online ads let you leverage the enhanced advertising features provided by Facebook and Google.
Online ads are a fast, easy, and cost-effective way of A/B testing and iterating your marketing messages, informing your direct marketing campaigns as a whole.

Keep In Mind

Matching

Facebook and Google use the data fields in your customer List to match users in their network. Sometimes the people on your List will not be Facebook or Google users, and sometimes the data simply doesn’t match.

Match rates may vary significantly, depending on your List criteria. For example, Lists with owners that are businesses rather than people will have very poor match rates. Generally, you should expect to see match rates of 30 to 60 percent. Even though you won’t be able to reach everyone on your List, it's still a great way to reach a good number of potential customers.

Minimum List Size

Google has a minimum audience size of 1000 after matching, so you need to start with a considerably larger List of customers to be successful. We recommend you start with a List of at least 3,000. If your current List is not that large try adjusting your List, or creating a new List that combines multiple smaller Lists using the Include Lists criteria.

Finding Potential Customers

Use cross-channel communication to extend your targeting, and find your best potential customers. Connecting with new business is made easy using PropertyRadar, and our Support team is here is help you.
