Setting up a programmatic mail campaign consists of five key steps. First, the advertiser sets up the campaign objectives together with KPIs. Then key pages are tagged to be able to track the user journey and assets are uploaded to the programmatic mail technology provider – this way, as soon as a desired action is performed online on the relevant page, a direct mail piece can be automatically created and sent to print. It will be delivered to the recipient’s doorstep within 48 hours. The final step involves performance reporting with access to real-time insights and campaign refinement based on the detailed analytics.
