Strategist’s Insight – Conor O’Neill
“In a world drowning in digital noise, we went tactile and physical. The strategy was developed to promote the benefit of ‘Certainty- in an uncertain world’. Implementation was everything, getting that direct mail package absolutely spot-on so it cut through the noise and felt robust and confident. It made sure the next step was a proper, commercial discussion. These leads weren’t warm anymore, they were hot.”
The Brief
Ayvens were seeking to engage a clearly defined B2B audience, encouraging them to consider Ayvens as their leasing partner and ultimately convert previously acquired leads and contacts into qualified sales opportunities.
The Strategy
Marketing Network Group, a full-service marketing agency based in Dublin, developed a strategy centred on a highly targeted direct mail activation. The objective was to cut through digital noise and create a meaningful, physical brand interaction that would move prospects into active consideration.
The direct mail pack featured a clear call to action and QR code, designed to drive measurable engagement and conversion. The campaign was strategically positioned at the consideration stage of the funnel, supporting Ayvens’ wider sales activity.
With the channel and target audience defined, the next strategic step was to develop a campaign theme that would resonate commercially while aligning with Ayvens’ brand ethos. From this insight, the theme of ‘certainty’ was developed.
The Implementation
Our creative agency, Rage, delivered the project end-to-end, from concept development through to final dispatch. This included developing the creative idea, designing the physical box, carefully curating each item to align with the campaign theme, crafting all campaign messaging internally and managing distribution to the target audience.
The direct mail pack acted as the primary acquisition touchpoint, with structured follow-up communication from Ayvens designed to convert consideration into commercial conversations and tender opportunities.
The Results
18% of recipients progressed to follow-up meetings
2 tender submissions generated directly from the direct mail pack
ROI of 300%+, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted direct mail as part of a broader B2B marketing strategy
